Geometry Test #4 Flashcards
Sum of the Interior Angles of a Triangle and its Corollaries
Recall: The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180.
Corollaries:
1. If 2 angles of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles of another triangle, then the 3rd angles are congruent to each other.
2. The measure of each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60.
3. In a triangle, there can be at most one right angle.
4. The 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 2 remote interior angles.
Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of any of its remote interior angles.
Triangle Inequality Theorem
a. The sum of the lengths of any 2 sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
b. The positive difference of the lengths of any 2 sides of a triangle is less than the length of the third side.
Polygon
A polygon is a closed 2D figure formed by straight line segments. Each segment must intersect with exactly 2 other segments at each endpoint. A polygon should have at least 3 sides.
Regular Polygon
Equiangular and Equilateral
Convex Polygon
All interior angles are less than 180.
Concave Polygon
1 or more interior angles is more than 180.
Diagonal of a Polygon
A segment joining 2 nonconsecutive vertices.
Sum of all interior angles
180(n-2)
Measure of one interior angle
180-(360/n)
Measure of one exterior angle
360/n
Sum of all exterior angles
360
If two lines are cut by a transversal,
then corresponding angles are congruent.
If two lines are cut by a transversal and corresponding angles are congruent,
then the lines are parallel.
