Which of the following is(are) NOT an abbreviation used for Triangle Congruence Theorems? Check all that apply.
SSS, HL, SAS, SSA, AAS, ASA, AAA

Respuesta :

Answers:   SSA and AAA

======================================================

Explanation:

The following theorems are triangle congruence theorems

  • SSS = side side side
  • HL = hypotenuse leg
  • SAS = side angle side
  • AAS = angle angle side
  • ASA = angle side angle

The HL theorem only works for right triangles. It's effectively a special case of SAS.

After the theorems mentioned are crossed off the answer choice list, we're left with SSA and AAA as the answers.

SSA isn't a congruence theorem because it could lead to vague outcomes (refer to the SSA ambiguity for more info).

AAA isn't a congruence theorem either. Imagine having 2 equilateral triangles but one triangle is much larger than the other. Clearly they aren't congruent even though the angles are all the same (60 degrees).
