Front

What are congruent figures?

Back

Congruent figures are shapes that are identical in form and size. They can be superimposed on each other, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

What is the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate?

Back

The SAS Congruence Postulate states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

What is the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate?

Back

The ASA Congruence Postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

What is the AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) Congruence Theorem?

Back

The AAS Congruence Theorem states 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, then the two triangles are congruent.

What is the HL (Hypotenuse-Leg) Congruence Theorem?

Back

The HL Congruence Theorem states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
