Q

Perpendicular line theorem

A

If a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular
to the other one also.

25
How to prove lines are parallel?
1.Show that a pair of corresponding angles are congruent. 2. Show that a pair of alternate interior angles are congruent. 3. Show that a pair of same-side interior angles are supplementary. 4. In a plane, show that both lines are perpendicular to a third line.
26
Proving lines are Parallel postulate
If two lines are cut by a transversal and corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

32
Exterior angle theorem
The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of any convex polygon, one angle at each vertex, is 360 degrees.
33
The Isosceles Triangle Theorem
If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then angles opposite those sides are congruent
34
Median
A median of a triangle is a segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
35
Altitude
An altitude of a triangle is the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line that contains the opposite side.
36
Perpendicular Bisector
A perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line (or ray or segment) that is perpendicular to the segment at its midpoint.
37
Equal distant theorem 1
If a point lies on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then the point is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.
38
Equal distant theorem 2
If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, then the point lies on the perpendicular bisector of the segment.
39
