What is SSS used for in geometry?
SSS is a postulate used in proving that two triangles are congruent. It is also known as the "Side-Side-Side" Triangle Congruence Postulate. It states that if all 3 sides of a triangle are congruent to another triangles 3 sides, then both triangles are congruent.
What is the SAS postulate?
The SAS Postulate states if two sides and the included angle of a triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
What is sss in postulate?
This stands for side-side-side. It means if two triangles have three sides that are the same length, than they triangles are congruent.
What is a triangle called with 2 congurent sides?
isosceles triangles have 2 congruent sides scalene triangles have no congruent sides equilateral triangles have 3 congruent sides
What are the four congruence postulates?
The postulates that involve congruence are the following :SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Postulate - If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruence Postulate - If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Postulate - If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.The two other congruence postulates are :AA (Angle-Angle) Similarity Postulate - If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar.Corresponding Angles Postulate - If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.
