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.
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.
Ssa sas sss which of these mean congruent?
SAS and SSS are congruent. SSA need not be.
Why AA and SSA are no valid methods to prove triangles congruent?
Because you need information about all three parts of the triangle, either the side or the angle opposite it, for each of the sides of a triangle. In AA you are missing the third angle, you could have a triangle where both angles were the same but the height could be different giving you a taller or shorter triangle. In SSA, the angle would be the one opposite the first side, so you have no information about the third side
Why can't ssa prove triangles congruent?
because neither side congruency nor angle congruency can be proved... to put it simply, this is because there would be too many variables with too little information if you set it up in an equation OR the fact that nothing is sandwiched between 2 parts like a side is not put between a side and an angle or vice versa, etc. In geometry class, we call this the "donkey theorem" (hence the acronym Angle Side Side)
SSA side-side-angle guarantees congruence between two triangles?
trueTrue -- SSA does NOT guarantee congruence.Only SAS, SSS, and ASA can do that (and AAS, because if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, the third has to be).
What is SSA in geometry?
It refers to the congruence of two sides and a non-included angle of one triangle with that of another. SSA does not imply congruence of the triangles.
SSA does not guarantee congruence between two triangles?
True. Only if the given angle is between the two sides will the two triangles guarantee to be congruent (SAS), unless the given angle is a right angle (90°) in which case you now have RHS (Right-angle, Hypotenuse, Side) which does guarantee congruence.
AAA angle angle angle guarantees congruence between two triangles?
true apex :)
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.
What are not congruence theorems?
I am guessing you are interested in triangles. Here are two false triangle congruence theorem conjectures.1, If the angles of one triangle are equal respectively to the angles of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. ( abbreviated AAA).2. If two sides and one angle of a triangle are equal respectively the two sides and one angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. (abbreviated SSA)Comment: Draw triangles with pairs of equal sides but in which the included angle between the equal sides is acute in one case and obtuse in the others.
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.
Is ssa a conguent theorem or postulate?
No. SSA can give rise to a pair of non-congruent triangles.
Wwhich of the following are not congruence theorems or postulates?
the congruence theorems or postulates are: SAS AAS SSS ASA
Which arrangement cannot be used to prove two triangles congruent?
SSA
Is side angle angle a congruence shortcut?
No, the side-side-angle in congruence shortcut DOESN'T exist..hint-SSA turns backward--->ASS<---thats the problem of no word will come on math..kinda funny to laugh about but SSA=GET rid off it! use SSS, SAS, ASA, SAA, SSS, and AAA.
Why does the SSA postulate work only with the right triangle?
You can't use SSA or ASS as a postulate because it doesn't determine that the triangles are congruent; right triangles are most likely determined by HL: hypotenuse leg- genius!
