The congruence theorems side-angle-side (SAS) and side-side-side (SSS) also hold on a sphere; in addition, if two spherical triangles have an identical angle-angle-angle (AAA) sequence, they are congruent (unlike for plane triangles). [9] The plane-triangle congruence theorem angle-angle-side (AAS) does not hold for spherical triangles. [10]
In geometry, the hinge theorem (sometimes called the open mouth theorem) states that if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle. [1]
Congruence [ edit ] If A , B are two points on a line a , and if A ′ is a point upon the same or another line a ′, then, upon a given side of A ′ on the straight line a ′, we can always find a point B ′ so that the segment AB is congruent to the segment A ′ B ′.
The classical equivalence between Playfair's axiom and Euclid's fifth postulate collapses in the absence of triangle congruence. [18] This is shown by constructing a geometry that redefines angles in a way that respects Hilbert's axioms of incidence, order, and congruence, except for the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) congruence.
Clement's congruence-based theorem characterizes the twin primes pairs of the form (, +) through the following conditions: [()! +] ((+)), +P. A. Clement's original 1949 paper [2] provides a proof of this interesting elementary number theoretic criteria for twin primality based on Wilson's theorem.
This is a total of six equalities, but three are often sufficient to prove congruence. [42] Some individually necessary and sufficient conditions for a pair of triangles to be congruent are: [43] SAS Postulate: Two sides in a triangle have the same length as two sides in the other triangle, and the included angles have the same measure.
This is known as the SAS similarity criterion. [7] The "SAS" is a mnemonic: each one of the two S's refers to a "side"; the A refers to an "angle" between the two sides. Symbolically, we write the similarity and dissimilarity of two triangles ABC and A'B'C' as follows: [8]
The region connection calculus (RCC) is intended to serve for qualitative spatial representation and reasoning.RCC abstractly describes regions (in Euclidean space, or in a topological space) by their possible relations to each other.
