What is triangle congruence?
Click to flip
Triangle congruence occurs when two triangles have the same shape and size, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.
Click to flip
Name one sign of triangle congruence.
Click to flip
One sign of triangle congruence is Side-Side-Side (SSS).
Click to flip
Explain the Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence rule.
Click to flip
If all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
Click to flip
What is the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) rule for triangle congruence?
Click to flip
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Click to flip
What does the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) rule state?
Click to flip
The ASA rule states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
Click to flip
Describe the Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) congruence rule.
Click to flip
If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and a corresponding non-included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
Click to flip
How is the Hypotenuse-Leg rule used in right triangles?
Click to flip
The Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) rule states that in right triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg are equal, the triangles are congruent.
Click to flip
In the SAS rule, what is meant by the included angle?
Click to flip
The included angle is the angle formed between the two sides being compared in two triangles.
Click to flip
Which triangle congruence rule requires knowing all three sides?
Click to flip
The Side-Side-Side (SSS) rule requires knowing all three sides.
Click to flip
Can triangles be congruent if only two angles are equal?
Click to flip
No, the triangles must also have at least one corresponding side equal, such as in the ASA or AAS rules.
Click to flip
What is necessary for triangles to be congruent using the AAS rule?
Click to flip
Two angles and any one corresponding side must be equal for AAS congruence.
Click to flip
Is it possible for two triangles to be congruent if one is smaller than the other?
Click to flip
No, congruent triangles must be exactly the same size and shape.
Click to flip
Why can't the SSA rule be used to prove triangle congruence?
Click to flip
SSA cannot prove congruence because it can result in two different triangles, as the included angle is not known.
Click to flip
What is necessary for the Hypotenuse-Leg theorem to be applied?
Click to flip
The triangles must be right triangles, and their hypotenuses and one leg must be equal.
Click to flip
Give an example where the ASA rule is applicable.
Click to flip
If one triangle has angles of 40° and 60° with an included side of 5cm, and another triangle has the same angles and side, they are congruent using ASA.
