Geometry Unit 6 Test Review

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Triangles that have the same size and shape, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What does the Reflexive Property state?

Back

For any geometric figure, it is congruent to itself (e.g., triangle ABC is congruent to triangle ABC).

Front

What is the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) congruence postulate?

Back

If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

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

Back

If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the SSS (Side-Side-Side) congruence postulate?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of a midpoint?

Back

A point that divides a segment into two equal parts.

Front

What is the definition of bisect?

Back

To divide something into two equal parts.

Front

What is the definition of a right triangle?

Back

A triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees.

Front

What is the Symmetric Property?

Back

If one figure is congruent to another, then the second figure is congruent to the first (e.g., if triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF, then triangle DEF is congruent to triangle ABC).

Front

How do you determine if two triangles are congruent using the SSS postulate?

Back

Measure all three sides of both triangles; if all three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides of the other triangle, they are congruent.
