Level 1 · Warm-up

1 How many valid congruence tests are there?
Show worked solution
4.
2 Three sides of one triangle equal three sides of another. Which test?
Show worked solution
SSS.
3 What does the H in RHS stand for?
Show worked solution
Hypotenuse.

Level 2 · Core

4 Two sides and the angle BETWEEN them are equal. Which test?
Show worked solution
SAS.
5 Two angles and one matching side are equal. Which test?
Show worked solution
AAS.
6 Is AAA a valid congruence test?
Show worked solution
No — it gives similar triangles only.

Level 3 · Challenge

7 Two sides and an angle NOT between them are equal. Is this a valid test?
Show worked solution
No — two different triangles can fit the same data.
8 In which single case does SSA actually prove congruence?
Show worked solution
When the angle is a right angle — that is RHS.
9 Two right-angled triangles have two equal LEGS (not the hypotenuse). Which test applies?
Show worked solution
SAS — the right angle is included between them, so it is not RHS.
