4.1.2 Angle Relationships in Triangles Flashcards
auxiliary line
is a line that is added to a figure to aid in a proof.
corollary
is a theorem whose proof follows directly from another theorem.
interior of a figure
is the set of all points inside the figure.
exterior of a figure
is the set of all points outside the figure.
interior angle
is formed by two sides of a polygon.
exterior angle
is formed by one side of a polygon and the extension of an adjacent side.
remote interior angle
each exterior angle has two remote interior angles. A remote interior angle is an interior angle that is not adjacent to the exterior angle.
Triangle Sum Theorem
The sum of the angle measures of a triangle is 180°.
Corollary
The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
Corollary
The measure of each angle of an equiangular triangle is 60°.
Exterior Angle Theorem
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its remote
interior angles.
Third Angles Theorem
If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third pair
of angles are congruent.
