What is the triangle equality theorem?
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe triangles can be "equal", only congruent. The measurements can be equal, but not the triangle itself.The triangle congruency postulates and theorems are:Side/Side/Side Postulate - If all three sides of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.Angle/Side/Angle Postulate - If two angles and a side included within those angles of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.Side/Angle/Side Postulate - If two sides and an angle included within those sides of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.Angle/Angle/Side Theorem - If two angles and an unincluded side of a triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.Hypotenuse/Leg Theorem - (right triangles only) If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
What are congruent triangle?
Two triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides are equal in length, and their corresponding angles are equal in measure.
What are the different of congruent triangle and similar triangle?
The corresponding angles in both cases are the same. With congruent triangles, the lengths of the corresponding sides are also equal.
Is there an SAS postulate for similarity of two triangles also just as you have one for congruency of triangles?
YesFor two triangles to be congruent, their corresponding sides must be of equal length. But for triangles to be similar, they must only have equal angles. For there to be a SAS postulate for similarity, the two corresponding sides would have to be proportionate, not equal. If they were equal, the triangles would be congruent.So, an SAS postulate for similar triangles would mean that two of the sides of the smaller triangle are, for example, half the two corresponding sides of the other triangle. If also the corresponding included angles are equal, then the two triangles would be similar triangles.APEX: similar
Give the definition of similar triangle?
Similar triangles means they have the same lengths OR the corresponding lengths have equal ratios.
What are triangles that have equal corresponding angles?
Isoceles triangles and right triangles have 2 corresponding equal angles three equal corresponding angles are equilateral triangle

What are congruent triangle?
Two triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides are equal in length, and their corresponding angles are equal in measure.
What is they angle side angle theorem?
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
What are the different of congruent triangle and similar triangle?
The corresponding angles in both cases are the same. With congruent triangles, the lengths of the corresponding sides are also equal.
Are triangles congruent if so how do you know?
ASA stands for "angle, side, angle" and means that we have two triangles where we know two angles and the included side are equal. If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
What postulate or theorem can you use to prove triangles are congruent?
Two triangles are congruent if they satisfy any of the following:-- two sides and the included angle of one triangle equal to the corresponding parts of the other one-- two angles and the included side of one triangle equal to the corresponding parts of the other one-- all three sides of one triangle equal to the corresponding parts of the other one-- they are right triangles, and hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle equal to thecorresponding parts of the other one-- they are right triangles, and hypotenuse and one acute angle of one triangle equalto the corresponding parts of the other one

Are isoceles triangles always symmetrical?
for a triangle to be an isosceles triangle, two of its sides and its corresponding angle must be equal. all isosceles triangles have at least one line of symmetry
What are similar triangles?
Triangles that are the same shape but not the same size. In order to be a similar triangle, their numbers have to form proportions with the numbers of the similar triangle.
Which of these best describes the hypotenuse-angle theorem?
The theorem is best described "If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle are equal respectively to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent."
Are congruent triangles similar?
Yes, similar triangles are congruent because in order to be congruent they must first be equal. Which in turn is the definition of a similar triangle. A triangle equal in angle measurements and/or side lengths. So, yes.
