if a=b, then a+c=b+c
addition property
a=b then a-c=b-c
subtraction property
For any segment AB, AB is congruent to AB
Reflexive property of Congruence
If AB is congruent to CD then CD is congruent to AB
Symmetric property of congruence
if AB is congruent to CD and CD is congruent to EF, then AB is congruent to EF
Transitive property of Congruence
AM=MB
Definition of a midpoint
AB+BC=AC
Segment addition Postulate
Definition of Congruence
the measures of two angles are equal if and only if the angles are congruent. M<A=M,B means <A=<B
Definition of a right angle
an angle measure is 90 degrees and only if it is a right angle (1 ANGLE!!)
M<A=90 degrees —>
<A is a right angle
Definition of Complementary Angles
Two angles are supplementary if and only if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees
Complementary —-> SUM is 90 degrees
Definition of Supplementary Angles
sum is equal to 180 degrees
Definition of ANgle bisector
ang angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts
definition of perpendicular
perpendicular lines form right angles
Angle addition Postulate
M<ABD+M<DBC=M<ABC
vertical angle therom
if two angles are vertical then they are congruent
