Front

What is the significance of triangle congruence theorems?

Back

Triangle congruence theorems help determine if two triangles are congruent based on their sides and angles.

Front

Can two triangles be congruent if only one angle is known?

Back

No, at least two angles and one side or two sides and one angle must be known to prove congruence.

Front

What is the relationship between congruent angles and sides in triangles?

Back

Congruent angles are opposite congruent sides in triangles.

Front

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, what can be concluded?

Back

The triangles are congruent by the AAS theorem.

Front

What is the difference between AAS and ASA?

Back

AAS requires two angles and a non-included side, while ASA requires two angles and the included side.

Front

What is the criteria for using the SSS theorem?

Back

The SSS theorem can be used when all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three sides of another triangle.
