Questions and Answers

What does the SSS Postulate state?

  • If two sides and their included angle in one triangle are congruent to two sides and their included angle in another triangle.
  • If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and corresponding leg of another right triangle.
  • If the sides of one triangle are congruent to the sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. (correct)
  • If two angles and their included side in one triangle are congruent to two angles and their included side in another triangle.
  • What does the SAS Postulate indicate?

  • If two sides and their included angle in one triangle are congruent to two sides and their included angle in another triangle. (correct)
  • If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and corresponding leg of another right triangle.
  • If the sides of one triangle are congruent to the sides of another triangle.
  • If two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and nonincluded side of another triangle.
  • What does the ASA Postulate define?

  • If two sides and their included angle in one triangle are congruent to two sides and their included angle in another triangle.

    Study Notes

    Triangle Congruence Postulates

    • SSS Postulate: Triangles are congruent if all three corresponding sides are equal in length.
    • SAS Postulate: Triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.
    • ASA Postulate: Triangles are congruent if two angles and the side between those angles in one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding side of another triangle.
    • AAS Postulate: Triangles are congruent if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and non-included side of another triangle.
    • HL Congruence Theorem: For right triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and corresponding leg of another right triangle, the triangles are congruent.
