12 multiple-choice questions, progressively harder.
Which angle is included between sides PQPQPQ and PRPRPR?
Solution
Correct answer: B
The sides meet at P.
The vertex of an angle is its middle letter, so the included angle is
∠QPR\angle QPR∠QPR
Which side is included between the angles at DDD and FFF in triangle DEFDEFDEF?
Correct answer: D
The included side joins the two named angle vertices.
Here those endpoints give
DFDFDF
Triangles ABCABCABC and DEFDEFDEF have these given matching parts:
Which criterion uses exactly these givens?
Correct answer: A
The two given sides meet at A and D, which are the given angle vertices. These are two side pairs and their included angle pair.
SAS gives:
Triangles LMNLMNLMN and XYZXYZXYZ have these given matching parts:
Correct answer: C
LN joins L and N, and XZ joins X and Z. The given sides lie between the two known angle vertices.
ASA gives:
The given side pairs and intended correspondence are:
Which angle pair directly completes SAS?
UV and VW meet at V.
XY and YZ meet at Y.
Thus the required included-angle pair is
Angles at A,CA,CA,C match angles at D,FD,FD,F, respectively. Which equality supplies the included-side pair for ASA?
The included sides join the two known angle vertices. A matches D and C matches F, so the required pair is AC=DFAC=DFAC=DF.
A proposed SAS construction uses two positive side lengths but an included angle of 0∘0^\circ0∘. What happens?
At a zero-degree included angle, the two rays coincide.
All three vertices lie on one line.
A triangle needs an included angle satisfying
A triangle has angles 38∘38^\circ38∘ and 87∘87^\circ87∘ at the endpoints of a known side. What is its third angle?
Use the triangle angle sum.
The two given angles total 125 degrees, leaving
Which information is sufficient for SAS?
SAS fixes two distances from a shared vertex and the angle between their rays. The required matching parts are:
SAS then gives:
A congruence match sends AAA to TTT, BBB to RRR, and CCC to SSS. Complete the ordered statement:
Keep the images in the order of A, B, C.
Those images are T, R, S, so
In an SAS construction, the base is drawn and the included-angle ray starts at its left endpoint. What fixes the third vertex on that ray?
The second side length measures from the included-angle vertex.
If that vertex is A and the prescribed length is 6 cm, place C so that
Exactly one point on the ray has that distance.
When constructing a triangle from a side and its two endpoint angles, how should the two new rays open?
The rays must meet on the chosen side of the base to enclose the intended triangle.
Each endpoint angle must be positive, and the sum of the two endpoint angles must be less than 180∘180^\circ180∘.
