Triangle ABC: A=55, B=90, C=x Find x
x=35

Three segments form a triangle. How many unique triangles can you construct using the same three segments?
You can only form one triangle given three different segments. Theorem SSS would not work if you could make more than one triangle.

Which of these do not always prove congruency? AAA, SSS, SSA
AAA and SSA

What is a linear pair?
A pair of adjacent angles formed by intersecting lines. They add together to 180.

What does CPCTC stand for?
Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent

What is a converse?
If the conclusion is true then the hypothesis is true.
