About Triangles, Congruence and Pythagoras' Theorem

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The resources here follow triangles from the basics to proof and calculation. You will find sets on classifying triangles, the angle sum, exterior angles, isosceles and equilateral triangles, and the triangle inequality. Further on come congruence (SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS), similarity, the side splitter theorem and the Pythagorean theorem with special right triangles.

Where to start

Begin with the basics. The Triangles Quiz opens with simple true or false statements, such as what a polygon is and what the internal angles add up to. The Triangle Overview quiz and the Classifying Triangles mind map are good companions.

  1. Check angles with the 5.2b Exterior Angle Theorem Quick Check.
  2. Move to congruence with the Similarity and Congruency mind map, which sets out SSS, SAS, ASA and AA conditions.
  3. Practise with the Similar Triangles, Proportions, and Side Splitting Theorem quiz and the Similarity - proportions quiz, where you solve each proportion.
  4. Finish with right triangles.

Pythagoras and special triangles

The note Pythagoream Theorem and Special Right Triangles works through a hypotenuse example step by step. Then try the 30-60-90 & 45-45-90 Triangles quiz and the Pythagorean Theorem & Converse Practice quiz, which asks for missing sides rounded to the nearest tenth. The Triangle formulae flowchart helps you choose between Pythagoras, trigonometry and the cosine rule. One listed resource mentions the ACT, so some material suits that kind of preparation.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first to see the structure, then take a quiz on the same idea. Note which questions slip, and return to the matching flashcard deck, such as Special Right Triangles or Side Splitter Theorem. Teachers can pick a quiz or deck as ready-made classroom material.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Triangles Quiz. It begins with simple statements about polygons and angle totals, so it shows quickly what you remember. If that goes well, move on to the Similar Triangles, Proportions, and Side Splitting Theorem quiz or the Pythagorean Theorem & Converse Practice quiz.

What do the mind maps cover?

There are over 100 mind maps. Many are simply called Triangles, while others focus on classifying triangles, congruency theorems, right triangle congruence, the side splitter theorem, medians and the Pythagorean theorem. Similarity and Congruency lays out SSS, SAS, ASA and AA conditions.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and levels vary from one set to the next.

Which levels do these resources suit?

Most are secondary level, with a small share at primary level. One listed resource mentions the ACT. Teachers can use the quizzes and flashcard decks as ready-made practice, while students can use them to revise a single topic.

Is there anything on Pythagoras' theorem specifically?

Yes. Look at the Pythagorean Theorem flashcard deck, the Pre test on Pythagorean Theorem, the Pythagoras quiz and the Bonus questions on Pythagorean Theorem. The Triangle formulae flowchart also shows when to use a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

What if I cannot find what I need?

Make it yourself. A free account lets you save quiz scores and create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. You could build a deck on a theorem you find tricky, using the existing sets as a guide.
