Pre

This document contains a 25-item pre-test on mathematics concepts such as axioms, theorems, undefined terms, types of triangles, and triangle congruence postulates. Students are asked to identify examples, definitions, and applications of these concepts. The pre-test also contains diagrams of triangles where students must determine corresponding sides, angles, or use postulates to identify congruent triangles.
