What is ass or ssa congruence postulate?
The ASS postulate would be that:if an angle and two sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angle and two sides of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.The SSA postulate would be similar.Neither is true.
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of a second triangle then the two triangles are congruent This is known as what?
SAS
What does side angle side mean?
side angle side means if two sides in their included angle in one triangle are congruent to the corisponding parts of the second triangle then the triangles are congruent so only if they are congruent. i need it for a classs...
Two triangles are similar. The dimensions of the first are 7 8 and W while the dimensions of the second one are 3.5 4 and 5. The scale factor used to get from the first triangle to the second one is?
Scale factor: 2 to 1
What are 2 similar pentagons?

What is triangular theorem SSS?
If three sides of one triangle are congruent tothree sides of a second triangle, then the three triangles are congruent.
If an acute angle of one right triangle is congruent to an angle of a second triangle then are the triangles similar?
true.
What states that if the sides of one triangle are congruent to the sides of a second triangle then the triangles are congruent?
It is a congruence theorem. There are several of them and they are not all numbered the same way.
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of a second triangle then the two triangles are congruent This is known as what?
SAS
What are four ways you can prove two right triangles are congruent?
1. The side angle side theorem, when used for right triangles is often called the leg leg theorem. it says if two legs of a right triangle are congruent to two legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent. Now if you want to think of it as SAS, just remember both angles are right angles so you need only look at the legs.2. The next is the The Leg-Acute Angle Theorem which states if a leg and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, the two right triangles are congruent. This is the same as angle side angle for a general triangle. Just use the right angle as one of the angles, the leg and then the acute angle.3. The Hypotenuse-Acute Angle Theorem is the third way to prove 2 right triangles are congruent. This one is equivalent to AAS or angle angle side. This theorem says if the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, the two triangles are congruent. This is the same as AAS again since you can use the right angle as the second angle in AAS.4. Last, but not least is Hypotenuse-Leg Postulate. Since it is NOT based on any other rules, this is a postulate and not a theorem. HL says if the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
If 3 sides of one triangle are directly proportional to 3 sides of a second triangle then the triangles are similar?

Mathematics similarities of triangles?
Two triangles are considered to be similar if for each angles in one triangle, there is a congruent angle in the other triangle.Two triangles ABC and A'B'C' are similar if the three angles of the first triangle are congruent to the corresponding three angles of the second triangle and the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional as follows: AB / A'B' = BC / B'C' = CA / C'A'
The sum of the perimeters of two congruent triangles is three times the perimeter of the first triangle?
Let's denote the perimeter of the first triangle as P. Since the triangles are congruent, the perimeter of the second triangle is also P. The sum of their perimeters is then 2P. According to the given statement, this sum is three times the perimeter of the first triangle. So we have the equation 2P = 3P. Simplifying, we find that P = 0, which is not a valid solution. Therefore, there is no triangle for which the sum of the perimeters of two congruent triangles is three times the perimeter of the first triangle.
What is the angle-angle-side rule?
Side-Angle-Side is a rule used in geometry to prove triangles congruent. The rule states that if two sides and the included angle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, the two triangles are congruent. An included angle is an angle created by two sides of a triangle.
Can two triangles be congruent with 5 pairs of congruent parts?
Two triangles are congruent if the six elements of one triangle (three sides and three angles) are equal to the six elements of the second triangle and the two triangles have a scale factor of 1. However, in four special cases it is only necessary to match three elements to prove that two triangles are congruent. The matching of four elements is sometimes necessary, and the matching of five elements would put the matter beyond any doubt.
