What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence stating that 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, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a criterion for triangle congruence applicable to right triangles, stating that if the hypotenuse and one leg of one right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the Definition of Midpoint?

Back

The midpoint of a segment is the point that divides the segment into two equal parts.

Front

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always congruent.

Front

What does it mean for segments to be congruent?

Back

Segments are congruent if they have the same length.

Front
