Grade 8-Reviewer - Postulates, Congruence
2. If two figures have the same shape and size then they are congruent. (TRUE)
Explanation: In geometry, two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size,
or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other.
3. If two triangles are congruent then their perimeters are equal (TRUE)
Explanation: In geometry, two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size,
or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other
4. SAS Postulate states that if the three sides of both triangles are equal, then both triangles are
congruent to each other. (FALSE)
Explanation: It must be ‘SSS’ which means side, side, and side which clearly states that if the three
sides of both triangles are equal then, both triangles are congruent to each other.
Explanation: If two shapes are congruent, the statement can be written with either shape on either
side of the ≅ sign.
6. AAS Postulate states that two pairs of angles and the non-included side are known to be
congruent. (TRUE)
Explanation: This ‘AAS’ means angle, angle, and sides which clearly states that two angles and one
side of both triangles are the same, then these two triangles are said to be congruent to each other.
7. If △PAT ≅ △ZON, then ∠P ≅ ∠N (FALSE)
Explanation: By angle sum theorem, we know that a triangle has the sum of 180o . Given the measures of
the two angles, 45+55=100, 180-100=80. So, ∠C must be 80 o .
9. If the triangles BED and FIX are congruent, then BE corresponds to FI. (TRUE)
Explanation: By CPCTC
Explanation: This ‘ASA’ means angle, side, and angle which clearly states that two angles and one side of
both triangles are the same, then these two triangles are said to be congruent to each other.
