Back

Angle N

Front

What is the corresponding part to side PQ in triangle PQR if triangle XYZ is congruent to triangle PQR?

Back

Side XY

Front

What does it mean for two triangles to be congruent?

Back

Two triangles are congruent if they have the same size and shape, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the definition of corresponding parts in triangle congruence?

Back

Corresponding parts are the sides and angles of two triangles that are in the same relative position.

Front

What is the Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) congruence theorem?

Back

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 Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence theorem?

Back

If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) congruence theorem?

Back

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.
