Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a postulate used to prove triangle congruence when two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle.

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a postulate used to prove triangle congruence when two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding included side of another triangle.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a postulate used to prove triangle congruence when all three sides of one triangle are congruent to all three sides of another triangle.

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a postulate used to prove triangle congruence when two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the corresponding included angle of another triangle.

Front

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a theorem used to prove the congruence of right triangles when the hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another triangle.
