What does SAS Means?
When two pairs of sides of two triangles are equal in length, and the included angles are equal in measurement, then the triangles are congruent.
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, and the triangles are congruent. What is this method called?
Side-Side-Side (SSS)
What is Distributive Property?
a(b+c) = ab + ac
A family has five sons. Each of them has a sister. How many kids does the family have in total.
The family has SIX kids. (The five sons have ONE common sister.)
If the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, and the right triangles are congruent. What Method Am I? (This is only for Right Triangles ONLY)
What is HL
What does SSS Means?
When three pairs of sides of two triangles are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent.
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, and the triangles are congruent. What is this method called?
Side-Angle-Side (SAS)
What is Reflexive Property?
A quantity that is congruent(equal) to itself. A=A
When David was eight, his little brother Alex was half his age. David is now 30. How old is Alex?
Alex is 26.
True Or False: All Right Angles Are Congruent.
What is True.
What does ASA means?
When two pairs of angles of two triangles are equal in measurement, and the included sides are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent.
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, and the triangles are congruent. What is this method called?
Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)
What is Symmetric Property?
If a=b, then b=a.
I will be everything is you put me on my side. I will be nothing if you cut me in half. What number am I?
8
This Method works fine to show that triangles are the same SHAPE (similar), but does NOT work to also show they are the same size, thus congruent! What Method Am I?
What is AAA
What Does AAS Means?
When two pairs of angles of two triangles are equal in measurement, and a pair of corresponding non-included sides are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent.
If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, and the triangles are congruent. What is this method called?
Angle-Angle-Side (AAS)
What is Transitive Property?
If a=b and b=c, then a=c.
I am an odd number. If you take away a letter from my name, I will be come even.
What is seven?
SSA works to prove triangle congruence. True or False.
False
What does HL Means?
When two right-angled triangles have their hypotenuses equal in length, and a pair of shorter sides are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent.
This is NOT a universal method to prove triangles congruent because it cannot guarantee that one unique triangle will be drawn!! What method am I?
Side-Side-Angle (SSA)
3x = 9 and x = 3. What property is used?
Division Property of Equality
A triangle is very rude. What does it say to a circle?
You're pointless.
