What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

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

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a theorem 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.

What is the included angle in a triangle?

Back

The included angle is the angle formed between two sides of a triangle.

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, a theorem 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.

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.
