Describe (in your own words) what you would need to know about two triangles in order to use the SAS congruency shortcut.
two sets of sides would need to be congruent & the included angles of those sides would need to be congruent.

List all of the corresponding parts of the triangles given the congruency statement on SLIDE 7
angle R and angle O angle S and angle P angle T and angle Q segment RS and segment OP segment ST and segment PQ segment RT and segment OQ

Describe the difference between when you can use the shortcut ASA and AAS.
To use ASA, you must know the two included sides are congruent and to use AAS, you must know that two nonincluded sides are congruent.

Describe the difference between an acute and an equiangular triangle.
Both have all acute angles, but equiangular triangles have 60 degree angles and an acute can have different measured angles as long as they are all acute.
