Q

Theorem 4.1: properties of congruent triangles-

A
  1. Every triangle is congruent to itself
  2. If triangle abc is congruent to triangle pqr and triangle pqr is congruent to triangle tuv then triangle abc is congruent to triangle tuv
  3. If triangle abc is congruent to triangle pqr then triangle pqr is congruent to triangle abc
16
Q

Interior able

A

Three angles f a triangle

17
Q

Exterior angle

A

An angle that is adjacent to an interior angle ( must form a linear pair)

18
Q

Theorem 4.2 : triangle sum theorem

A

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of the triangle is 180 degrees

19
Q

Theorem 4.3: third angles theorem

A

If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of a second triangle then the Thor angles are also congruent

20
Q

Theorem 4.4

A

The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary

21
Q

Thereom 4.5 exterior angles theorem

A

The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measure of the two remote ( non adjacent ) interior angles

22
Q

Theorem 4.6: exterior Angles inequality theorem

A

The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of either of the two remote ( non adjacent ) interior angles
