Unit 33
33.1 Tests for Congruence
Test 1 (side, side side)
If all three sides of one triangle are the same as the lengths of
the sides of the second triangle, then the two triangles are
congruent
This is referred to as SSS.?
Test 2 (side, angle, side)
If two sides of one triangle are the same length as two sides of
the other and the angle between these two sides is the same in
both triangles, then the triangles are congruent.
This is referred to as SAS.?
Test 3 (angle, angle, side)
If two angles and the length of one side are the same in both
triangles then they are congruent.
This is referred to as AAS.?
Test 4 (right angle, hypotenuse, side)
If both triangles contain a right angle, have hypotenuses of the
same length and one other side of the same length, then they
are congruent.
This is referred to as RHS.?

33.5 Line, Area and Volume
Ratios
The diagram shows two similar cuboids
Volume of cuboid A = 60cm³
Volume of cuboid B = 480cm³
Surface area of cuboid A = 94cm²
Surface area of cuboid B = 374cm²
Lengths increase by a factor of 2
Areas increase by a factor of 4 = 2²
Volumes increase by a factor of 8 = 2³
