What is the definition of congruent angles?

Back

Congruent angles are angles that have the same measure.

Front

What does the HL Congruence Theorem state?

Back

The HL Congruence Theorem states that if a right triangle has one leg and the hypotenuse equal to another right triangle's leg and hypotenuse, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the Reflexive Property?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that any geometric figure is congruent to itself.

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a postulate that states if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the definition of corresponding parts of congruent triangles?

Back

Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are the sides and angles that are in the same relative position in each triangle.

Front

What is the SAS Congruence Postulate?

Back

The SAS Congruence Postulate states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the ASA Congruence Postulate?

Back

The ASA Congruence Postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the definition of a right triangle?

Back

A right triangle is a triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees.

Front

What is the significance of the term 'SSA' in triangle congruence?

Back

SSA stands for Side-Side-Angle, which does not guarantee triangle congruence.

Front

What is the definition of a triangle?

Back

A triangle is a polygon with three edges and three vertices.
