Chapter 4 Flashcards
Isosceles Trianglen
Two congruent sides
Scalene triangle
No congruent sides
Equilateral Triangle
All sides congruent
Isosceles Vocab (vertex)
Angle created by 2 legs
Legs
2 congruent sides in isosceles triangles
Base
Non-congruent side of isosceles triangle
Base angles
Two angles adjacent to the base
Acute
Less than 90
Obtuse
One angle greater than 90
Equilateral
All angles congruent must be acute and all 60
Right
Only one right angle
What happens when you extend 3 sides of a triangles
It creates exterior angles the exterior angles form linear pairs w/ interior angles vertical angles don’t count
Triangle sum corollary
The sum of the acute angles in a right triangle is 90
Corollary
Extension of postulate and theorem
Remote interior angles
2 interior angle not adjacent to exterior angle
