60°

Explanation

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.

#13

Which pair of triangles are congruent if they have two corresponding angles equal and a pair of corresponding non-included sides in proportion?

SAS (Side-Angle-Side)

Explanation

Two triangles are congruent if their sides and angles are equal.

#14

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

Explanation

Pythagorean theorem relates the sides of a right triangle.

#15

In a right triangle, if one acute angle is 30°, what is the measure of the other acute angle?

60°

Explanation

#17

Which congruence criterion states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent?

ASA (Angle-Side-Angle)

Explanation

ASA criterion states triangles are congruent if two angles and included side are equal.

#18

If two triangles are similar and one triangle has a side length of 6 cm while the other has a corresponding side length of 9 cm, what is the scale factor of similarity?

1.5

Explanation

Scale factor is the ratio of corresponding side lengths.

#19

If two triangles have all three corresponding sides in proportion, what can we conclude?

They are similar

Explanation

Sides in proportion imply similarity.

#20

If two triangles are similar, what can we say about their corresponding medians?

They are proportional

Which statement about the Altitude-on-Hypotenuse Theorem is true?

It states that the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the geometric mean of the lengths of the two segments of the hypotenuse.

Explanation

Altitude on hypotenuse equals geometric mean of segments.

#23

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, what can we conclude about the third pair of angles?

They are equal

Explanation

If two pairs of angles are equal, the third pair must also be equal.
