Front

How do you determine if two triangles are similar?

Back

Two triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are equal or their corresponding sides are in proportion. The common criteria for proving similarity are AA (Angle-Angle), SSS (Side-Side-Side), and SAS (Side-Angle-Side).

Front

What is the definition of corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on different parallel lines cut by a transversal. They are equal in measure.

Front

What is the definition of supplementary angles?

Back

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.

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 does SAS stand for in triangle similarity?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side. It is a criterion for triangle similarity that states if two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are equal, then the triangles are similar.

What is the formula for finding the area of a triangle?

Front

What is the relationship between angles A and B if they are corresponding angles?

Back

If angles A and B are corresponding angles, they are equal in measure when the lines are parallel.

How do you find the missing side of a right triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem?

Front

What is the definition of alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between two parallel lines and on opposite sides of a transversal. They are equal in measure.
