geometry: chapter 4 Flashcards
Postulate 13: SAS postulate
Is two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent just two sides in the included angle of another triangle then the triangles are congruent
postulate 12: SSS postulate
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle then the triangles are congruent
Postulate 14: Asa Postulate
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and included side of another triangle them triangles are congruent
Leg
Congruent sides and then isosceles triangle
A line and a plane are perpendicular
if and only if they intersect and the line is perpendicular to all lines in the plane that past-due the point of intersection
Base
Third side in and isosceles triangle
Theorem 4-1: the isosceles triangle theorem
If two sides of the triangle are congruent than the angle opposite the sides are congruent
Corollary 1
And equilateral triangle is also equiangular
Corollary 2
And equilateral triangle has 3 60° angle
Corollary 3
The bisector of the vertex angle of it isosceles triangle is perpendicular to the base at its midpoint
Theorem 4-2
If two angles of a triangle are congruent then the side opposite these angles are congruent
Corollary 1
And equiangular triangle is also equilateral
Theorem 4-3: AAS theorem
If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle than the triangles are congruent
Theorem 4-4 HL theorem
If the hypotenuse and the leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle then the triangles are congruent
Median
Of a triangle is a segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side
