What are congruent shapes?
Shapes that are the same size and same shape
What are similar shapes?
Shapes that are proportional to each other
How many degrees in a triangle?
180 degrees
How many degrees in a parallelogram?
360 degrees
90 degrees
What rule proves that these two triangles are congruent?
SAS- Side Angle Side
Which rule determines similarity but not congruence?
AAA (Angle, Angle, Angle)
True or false. In isosceles triangles, two angles are equal in magnitude?
True
What is the defining feature of parallelograms?
Quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel
Define bisect.
Crosses through the half way point
What is the first step to proving congruence?
Drawing a statement and reason table
Are all shapes that are similar also congruent?
No
What is the definition of an isosceles triangle?
Two sides the same length
In this parallelogram, which angles are equal?
Angle BAD = Angle ADC
Angle CBA = Angle BAD
Angle BAC = Angle BCD
Angle BAD = Angle CDA
Angle BAC = Angle BCD
Define the Z rule.
The internal angles made by two parallel lines and a third line which intersects both are equal in magnitude.
What is the minimum amount of information required to prove congruence?
Two angles and a side
Two sides and an included angle
Three sides
What is the minimum amount of information required to prove similarity?
Two sets of angles
If a property of an isosceles triangle is that two sides are the same, what is another property of an isosceles triangle?
Two angles are equal in magnitude
Which of these is not a parallelogram?
A)
B)
C)
D)
B - Trapezium
Vertically opposed angles is what rule?
X Rule
Write the steps to prove congruence in the following question.
In the quadrilateral ABCD, AB=AD, and AC is the angle bisector of BAD. Prove triangle ABC is congruent to triangle ADC.
AB = AD (given)
Angle BAC = Angle DAC (definition of bisect)
AC=AC (Same length)
Triangle ABC = Triangle ADC (SAS)
If these two triangles are similar, calculate the value of x.
x=15
