Grade 10 Math Worksheet

Circle the best answer.

1. 1.

   Milo checks two kite halves: m∠D = m∠S = 48°, DF = SU = 9 cm and m∠F = m∠U = 70°. Which is true about △DFG and △SUV?

   • Yes, by AAS.
   • No: AAA is needed, so all three angles must be given.
   • Yes, by ASA.
   • No: all three pairs of sides must be given.
2. 2.

   Noah checks two tent flaps: m∠C = m∠W = 41°, m∠H = m∠Y = 83° and HQ = YS = 12 cm. Which is true about △CHQ and △WYS?

   • No: the side is not between the two angles.
   • No: AAA is needed, so all three angles must be given.
   • Yes, by ASA.
   • Yes, by AAS.

5. 4.

   Ren checks two rug triangles: m∠S = m∠V = 38°, SY = VG = 11 cm and m∠Y = m∠G = 104°. Which is true about △QSY and △CVG?

   • No: all three pairs of sides must be given.
   • Yes, by ASA.

6. Use this

   Two triangles, not to scale, with the given parts marked and labeled.

7. 5.

   Tala checks two castle flags: m∠D = m∠V = 50°, m∠F = m∠S = 60° and m∠G = m∠U = 70°. Do these facts prove △DFG ≅ △VSU?

   • Yes, by ASA: two angles are enough.
   • Yes, by AAA: all three angles match.
   • No: AAA gives the same shape, not always the same size.
8. 6.

   Ari checks two window panes: m∠G = m∠H = 35°, m∠S = m∠Q = 65° and m∠U = m∠D = 80°. Do these facts prove △GSU ≅ △HQD?

   • No: AAA gives the same shape, not always the same size.
   • Yes, by ASA: two angles are enough.
   • Yes, by AAA: all three angles match.
9. 7.

   Bo checks two sandwich halves: m∠V = m∠W = 53°, m∠Y = m∠C = 68° and QV = FW = 14 cm. Do these facts prove △QVY ≅ △FWC?

   • No: the side is not between the two angles.
   • Yes, by AAS.
   • Yes, by AAA: the third angles match too.
10. 8.

    Esme checks the two sides of a stepladder. ∠D = ∠U and DF = US are marked. Which one more fact proves △DFG ≅ △USV by ASA?

    • ∠F = ∠U
