In a triangle, if two sides and the included angle are congruent to the corresponding sides and included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are:

  1. Congruent

  2. Similar

  3. Isosceles

  4. Scalene


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

By the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) congruence theorem, if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides and included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

In a triangle, if two angles and the included side are congruent to the corresponding angles and included side of another triangle, then the triangles are:

  1. Congruent

  2. Similar

  3. Isosceles

  4. Scalene


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

By the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) congruence theorem, if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

In a triangle, if three sides are congruent to the corresponding sides of another triangle, then the triangles are:

  1. Congruent

  2. Similar

  3. Isosceles

  4. Scalene


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

By the Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence theorem, if three sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Two triangles are congruent if they have:

  1. Congruent sides and angles

  2. Similar sides and angles

  3. Equal areas

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Two triangles are congruent if they have congruent sides and angles, similar sides and angles, or equal areas.

If two triangles are congruent, then their corresponding:

  1. Sides are congruent

  2. Angles are congruent

  3. Areas are congruent

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

If two triangles are congruent, then their corresponding sides, angles, and areas are all congruent.

In a right triangle, if the hypotenuse and one leg are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are:

  1. Congruent

  2. Similar

  3. Isosceles

  4. Scalene


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

By the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) congruence theorem, if the hypotenuse and one leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

In a triangle, if two sides are congruent and the third side is not congruent, then the triangle is:

  1. Congruent

  2. Similar

  3. Isosceles

  4. Scalene


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A triangle with two congruent sides and one non-congruent side is called an isosceles triangle.

In a triangle, if all three sides are congruent, then the triangle is:

  1. Congruent

  2. Similar

  3. Equilateral

  4. Scalene


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A triangle with all three sides congruent is called an equilateral triangle.

Two triangles are similar if they have:

  1. Congruent sides and angles

  2. Similar sides and angles

  3. Equal areas

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Two triangles are similar if they have similar sides and angles, but not necessarily congruent sides and angles.

If two triangles are similar, then their corresponding:

  1. Sides are proportional

  2. Angles are congruent

  3. Areas are proportional

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

If two triangles are similar, then their corresponding sides are proportional, their corresponding angles are congruent, and their corresponding areas are proportional.

In a right triangle, if the hypotenuse is congruent to the hypotenuse of another right triangle, then the triangles are:

  1. Congruent

  2. Similar

  3. Isosceles

  4. Scalene


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

By the Hypotenuse-Hypotenuse (HH) similarity theorem, if the hypotenuse of one right triangle is congruent to the hypotenuse of another right triangle, then the triangles are similar.

In a triangle, if two angles are congruent and the third angle is not congruent, then the triangle is:

  1. Congruent

  2. Similar

  3. Isosceles

  4. Scalene


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A triangle with two congruent angles and one non-congruent angle is called an isosceles triangle.

In a triangle, if one angle is 90 degrees, then the triangle is:

  1. Congruent

  2. Similar

  3. Right

  4. Scalene


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A triangle with one angle measuring 90 degrees is called a right triangle.

In a triangle, if the sum of the squares of two sides is equal to the square of the third side, then the triangle is:

  1. Congruent

  2. Similar

  3. Right

  4. Scalene


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

By the Pythagorean theorem, in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides (legs) is equal to the square of the longest side (hypotenuse).

In a triangle, if the square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is:

  1. Congruent

  2. Similar

  3. Right

  4. Scalene


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

By the converse of the Pythagorean theorem, if the square of one side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle.
