4.1 And 4.2 Flashcards
Equilateral triangle
A triangle that has three congruent sides ( classifacation by sides)
Congruent triangles
If triangle Abc is congruent to triangle pqr then there is a correspondence between their angles and sides such that angles are congruent and corresponding sides are congruent.
Isosceles triangle
A triangle that has at least two congruent sides ( classifacation by sides)
Scalene triangle
A triangle that has no congruent sides ( classification by sides )
Acute triangle
A triangle that has 3 acute angles. If these angles are all congruent then the triangle is also equiangular. ( classification by angles )
Equiangular triangle
A triangle that has three congruent angles ( classification by angles)
Right triangle
A triangle that has exactly one right angle ( classification by angles )
Obtuse triangle
A triangle that has exactly one obtuse angle ( classifacation by angles)
Vertex
In triangle abc each of the points a b and c are vertces of the triangle
Opposite side
The Side opposite if a given angle
Adjacent side
Two sides that share a common vertex are adjacent sides
Right triangle legs
The sides adjacent to the right triangle are the right triangle legs
Right triangle hypotenuse
The side opposite of the right angle is the hypotenuse of the the triangle
Isosceles triangle legs
An isosceles triangle can have three congruent sides. If it has only two, then the two congruent sides are the legs of the triangle
Isosceles triangle based
The third side is the base of the triangle
