Q

Complement theorem

A

If the noncommon sides of two adjacent angles form a 90 degree angle then the angles are complementary

38

Q

If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the end point

A

Perpindicular bisector theorem

49
Q

Steps to indirect proofs

A

1) assume temporarily that the conclusion is false
2) reason logically (while giving reasons to support) until a contradiction is reached
3) contradiction has been met then temporary assumption is not valid and the conclusion must be true

50
Q

A

The sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side

51
Q

If two sides of a triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle AND the third side of the 1st triangle is greater than the 3rd side of the 2nd triangle, then the angle of the 1st triangle is greater than the angle of the second triangle
