Q

Supplements of angles are congruent

A

Adjacent angles will create 180° therefore if angles are proven congruent by a triangle congruence, then it’s adjacent angles will be equal as well

Q

SSS TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE

A

If 3 sides of 1 triangle are congruent to 3 sides of another triangle then the triangles are congruent

16
Q

SAS TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE

A

If 2 sides and the included angle of 1 triangle are congruent to the sir responding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent

17
Q

ASA TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE

A

If 2 angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent

18
Q

AAS triangle congruence

A

If 2 angles and the non included side of 1 triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent

19
Q

CPCTC

A

Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent, usually comes after proof that two triangles are congruent

20
Q

Hypotenuse leg congruence for right triangles

A

Hypotenuse and 1 leg of right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, the two right triangles are congruent

21
Q

Leg leg congruence for right triangles

A

If the leg and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the two right triangles are congruent

22
Q

Leg acute angle congruence for right triangles

A

If 1 leg and an acute angle of a right triangle are congruent to one leg and the corresponding acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent

23
Q

Hypotenuse acute angle congruence right triangle

A

Hypotenuse and leg of right triangle are congruent to hypotenuse and corresponding leg of another right triangle then the triangles are congruent

24
Q

Corresponding angles

A

If 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent

25
Q

Corresponding angles converse

A

If 2 lines are cut by a transversal and the corresponding angles are congruent the lines are parallel

26
Q

Alternate interior angles are congruent

A

If 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are congruent

27
Q

Alternate exterior angles are congruent

A

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the alternate exterior angles are congruent

28
Q

Alternate interior angles converse

A

If 2 lines are cut by a transversal and the alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel

29
Q

Alternate exterior angles converse

A

If 2 lines are cut by a transversal and the alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel

30
Q

Transitive property

A

Bridge
AB is congruent to CD
CD is congruent to EF
Therefore AB is congruent to EF
