Example Question #71 : High School: Geometry
Identify the missing term in the statement.
The __________ geometric theorem can be used to identify whether triangles that each have three known side lengths are congruent.
Side, Side, Side (SSS)
Angle, Side, Angle (ASA)
Side, Angle, Side (SAS)
Hypotenuse and One Leg (HL)
Angle, Angle, Side (AAS)
Side, Side, Side (SSS)
The statement, "The __________ geometric theorem can be used to identify whether triangles that each have three known side lengths are congruent." is describing the geometric theorem known as the Side, Side, Side theorem. When abbreviated this is seen as, SSS.
Therefore, the missing term is, Side, Side, Side (SSS).
Example Question #72 : High School: Geometry
Identify the missing term in the statement.
When two triangles have two known angles and a known side length that is in between the angles, the geometric theorem that can be used to prove congruency is known as __________.
Side, Angle, Side (SAS)
Side, Side, Side (SSS)
Angle, Angle, Side (AAS)
Angle, Angle, Angle (AAA)
Angle, Side, Angle (ASA)
Angle, Side, Angle (ASA)
The statement, "When two triangles have two known angles and a known side length that is in between the angles, the geometric theorem that can be used to prove congruency is known as __________. " is describing the geometric theorem known as the Angle, Side, Angle theorem. When abbreviated this is seen as, ASA.
Therefore, the missing term is, Angle, Side, Angle (ASA).
