What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent 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 criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between alternate interior angles when two lines are parallel?

Back

When two lines are parallel, alternate interior angles are congruent.

Front

How can you determine if two lines are parallel using slopes?

Back

Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal.

Front

What is the definition of corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Front

What is the definition of same side interior angles?

Back

Same side interior angles are pairs of angles that are on the same side of the transversal and between the two lines.

Front

What is the definition of alternate exterior angles?

Back

Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two lines.

If ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF, what can be said about the sides and angles?

Back

If ∆ABC is congruent to ∆DEF, then all corresponding sides and angles are equal.
