Triangle Congruence Theorems Lesson Quiz

What does congruence mean in terms of figures?

• Same size and shape

• Same orientation

• Same color

• Same rotation

Which theorem states that if in two triangles we have three pairs of corresponding sides that are congruent, then the triangles are congruent?

• Angle-Angle-Side

• Side-Angle-Side

• Side-Side-Side

• Angle-Side-Angle

In which congruence theorem do we start with a pair of corresponding congruent sides and two triangles, along with a pair of corresponding congruent angles and another set of corresponding congruent sides?

• Angle-Side-Angle

• Side-Side-Side

• Side-Angle-Side

• Angle-Angle-Side

Which congruence theorem applies to right triangles only?

• Side-Side-Side

• Hypotenuse-Leg

• Angle-Side-Angle

• Angle-Angle-Side

Why does the Angle-Side-Side theorem not work as a triangle congruence theorem?

• The orientation is different

• The triangles are not similar

• The sides are not congruent

• The angle is not known

What is the key feature of any right triangle?

• Obtuse angle

• Acute angle

• Right angle

• Straight angle

Which theorem states that if the hypotenuse in both right triangles are congruent and if a leg is congruent, then the two triangles are congruent?

• Hypotenuse-Leg

• Side-Side-Side

• Angle-Side-Angle

• Angle-Angle-Side

What is the special case for the Hypotenuse-Leg congruence theorem?

• Right triangles

• Scalene triangles

• Isosceles triangles

• Equilateral triangles

What is the abbreviation for the Side-Angle-Side congruence theorem?

• SAS

• SSS

• ASA

• AAS

Which theorem involves two congruent angles and one congruent side, where the congruent angles are consecutive and the congruent side is next to them?

• Side-Angle-Side
