Triangle Congruence Methods (10Q)

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a method of proving triangle congruence where all three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of another triangle.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a method of proving triangle congruence where two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a method of proving triangle congruence where two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle.

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a method of proving triangle congruence where two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle.

Front

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a method of proving triangle congruence specifically for right triangles, where the hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another triangle.
