Chapter 4 Flashcards
Triangle Sum Theorem
Corollary
The sum of the
measures of the interior angles of a triangle
is 180
he acute angles of a right
triangle are complementary
Exterior Angle Theorem
The measure of an
exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the
sum of the measures of the two nonadjacent
interior angles.
Third Angles Theorem
If two angles of one
triangle are congruent to two angles of
another triangle, then the third angles are
also congruent.
Properties of Triangle Congruence
Triangle congruence is reflexive, symmetric,
and transitive.
Reflexive: For any n ABC, n ABC > n ABC.
Symmetric: If n ABC > nDEF, then
nDEF > n ABC.
Transitive: If n ABC > nDEF and
nDEF > nJKL, then
n ABC > nJKL. (p. 228)
Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence
Theorem
If the hypotenuse and a leg of a
right triangle are congruent to the
hypotenuse and a leg of a second right
triangle, then the two triangles are
congruent.
Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence
Theorem
If two angles and a non-included
side of one triangle are congruent to two
angles and the corresponding non-included
side of a second triangle, then the two
triangles are congruent.
Base Angles Theorem
f two sides of a
triangle are congruent, then the angles
opposite them are congruent.
Base Angles Corollary
If a triangle is equilateral, then it
is equiangular
Converse of the Base Angles Theorem
If two
angles of a triangle are congruent, then the
sides opposite them are congruent
Converse of Base Angles Corollary
If a triangle is equiangular, then it
is equilateral
