What are the five triangle congruency theorems?
SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, RHS. SSA can prove congruence if the angle in question is obtuse (if it's 90 degrees, then it's exactly equivalent to RHS).
What are congruence theorems?
there are 4 types of congruence theorem-: ASA,SSS,RHS,SAS
Why is AAA not an appropriate conjecture for triangle congruence?
It does not necessarily prove congruence but it does prove similarity. You can have a smaller or bigger triangle that has the same interior angles.
Which postulate theorem verifies the congruence of two right triangles?
RHS congruency, or, right angle, hypotenuse and corresponding side.
What does the HL congruence postulate apply to?
right triangle

Should the right angle be equal in rhs congruence?
All right angles are of the same measure ie equal.
What are the 2 triangle congruence theorems?
The two triangle congruence theorems are the AAS(Angle-Angle-Side) and HL(Hypotenuse-Leg) congruence theorems. The AAS congruence theorem states that if two angles and a nonincluded side in one triangle are congruent to two angles and a nonincluded side in another triangle, the two triangles are congruent. In the HL congruence theorem, if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, the two triangles are congruent.
Why is AAA not an appropriate conjecture for triangle congruence?
It does not necessarily prove congruence but it does prove similarity. You can have a smaller or bigger triangle that has the same interior angles.
What are the only two triangle congruence shortcuts that do not work?
The only Two Triangle congruence shortcuts that do not prove congruence are: 1.AAA( Three pairs of angles in a triangle) & 2.ASS or SSA(If the angle is not in between the two sides like ASA.
Which postulate theorem verifies the congruence of two right triangles?
RHS congruency, or, right angle, hypotenuse and corresponding side.
Which of the following is the right triangle congruence theorem?
There is nothing specific folloing right triangle congruence theorem. It depends on the order in whih the syllabus is taught.
Is a ASA triangle similarity postulate?
Since ASA is a congruence postulate and congruence implies similarity, then the answer is : yes.
What are the four congruence theorems for a right triangle?
The four congruence theorem for right triangles are:- LL Congruence Theorem --> If the two legs of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding two legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- LA Congruence Theorem --> If a leg and an acute angle of a right triangles is congruent to the corresponding leg and acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- HA Congruence Theorem --> If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and acute angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.- HL Congruence Theorem --> If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle is congruent to the corresponding hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
What does the HL congruence postulate apply to?
right triangle
How the triangle similarity postulates are alike and how they differ from triangle congruence postulates?
Similarity is where triangles have equal angles at each corner. Congruence is where triangles have sides of equal length.
