Triangle Congruence Postulates

Cards (8)

  • Congruent Angle
    Two triangles are congruent if all of their corresponding sides and interior angles are congruent.
  • congruent triangles can be flipped, rotated, mirrored, and will still be congruent
  • Included Side
    An included side is the side common to two angles of a triangle.
  • Included Angle
    An included angle is the angle between the two sides of a triangle
  • SSS(side-side-side)
    if three sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides of another triangle, then the two triages are congruent
  • SAS(side-angle-side)
    if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two sides and included angle of another triangle, then two triangles are congruent.
  • ASA (angle-side-angle)
    if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
  • AAS(angle-angle-side) theorem

    If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and a non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
