Who came up with the geometry postulate of sss sas asa and aas?
The SSS, ASA and SAA postulates together signify what conditions must be present for two triangles to be congruent. Do all of the conditions this postulates represent together have to be present for two triangles to be congruent ? Explain.
Is it possible to have two noncongruent triangles that have two pairs of congruent angle and one pair of congruent sides?
not possible, they only have 3 sides so they have to be congruent by ASA or AAS
What are three ways that triangles are congruent?
Triangles are congruent when:All three sides are the same length (SSS congruency)Two sides and the angle between them are the same length (SAS congruency)Two angles and the side between them are the same length (ASA congruency)
How do you Prove triangle ACD is congruent to triangle BDC?
Because Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles, there are five ways to prove that two triangles are congruent. Show that all sides are congruent. (SSS) Show that two sides and their common angle are congruent. (SAS) Show that two angles and their common side are congruent. (ASA) Show that two angles and one of the non common sides are congruent. (AAS) Show that the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent. (HL)
How would you prove triangles are congruent?
You could prove two triangles are congruent by measuring each side of both triangles, and all three angles of each triangle. If the lengths of the sides are the same, and so are the angles, then the triangles are congruent... if not, then the triangles are not congruent. If the triangles have the exact same size and shape then they are congruent.
What are three ways that you can prove that triangles are congruent?
If triangles have the corresponding sides congruent then they are congruent. SSS If two triangles have two sides and an included angle congruent then they are congruent. SAS If two triangles have two angles and an included side congruent then they are congruent. ASA SSA doesn't work.
Are the two right triangles TRS and WUV congruent If so name the congruence postulate that applies?
To be congruent, the three angles of a triangle must be the same and the three sides must be the same. If triangles TRS and WUV meet those conditions, they are congruent.
What postulate or theorem verifies the congruence of triangles?
sssThere are five methods for proving the congruence of triangles. In SSS, you prove that all three sides of two triangles are congruent to each other. In SAS, if two sides of the triangles and the angle between them are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In ASA, if two angles of the triangles and the side between them are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In AAS, if two angles and one of the non-included sides of two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent. In HL, which only applies to right triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg of the two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.
When can you say that two triangles are congruent?
if you can prove using sss,asa,sas,aas
What CANNOT be used to prove triangles congruent ASA. SSS. SAS.?
All three of those CAN .

What is asa postulate?
The Angle Side Angle postulate( ASA) states that if two angles and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
What is Asa for congruence?
If a side and two angles at either end of it (Angle-Side-Angle = ASA) of one triangle are the same measure as that of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. In fact, it does not have to be the angles at the ends of the sides in question since two angles being equal means that the third pair of angle will also be equal. So as long as the ASA are in corresponding order, the triangles will be congruent.
How are two triangles are congruent?
Two triangle are congruent by either SAS(Side Angle Side), AAS(Angle Angle Side), or ASA(Angle Side Angle). In right triangles you can also use HL(Hypotenuse Leg).
What is the scale factor of congruent figures?
In gemortry, CPCTC is the abbreviation of a therom involving congrugent triangles. CPCTC stands for Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent. CPCTC states that if two or more triangles are proven congruent by: ASA, AAS, SSS, HL, or SAS, then all of their corresponding parts are congruent as well.Ifthen the following conditions are true:A related theorem is CPCFC, in which triangles is replaced with figures so that the theorem applies to any polygon or polyhedrogen.
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.
