Define: Side-Angle-Side (SAS)
If the lengths of two sides of a triangle are proportional to the lengths of two corresponding sides of another triangle and the included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar
Define: Triangle Sum Theorem
The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°
Define: Angle-Angle (AA)
If two angles of a triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar
Define: similar
Same shape; not equal in size
Define: congruent
SAME, Equal in measure
Define: Exterior Angles
Formed by one side and the extension of an adjacent side
Define: Exterior Angle Theorem
i) The measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles
ii) The exterior angle and its adjacent angle add up to get 180°
Define: Acute, Right, and Obtuse
Acute 90° but
Define: Acute Triangles, Right Triangles, and Obtuse Triangles (By Angles)
Acute Triangle: ALL angles are less than 90°
Right Triangle: one angle is equal to 90°
Obtuse Triangle: one angle is greater than 90°
Define: Acute Triangles, Right Triangles, and Obtuse Triangles (By Sides)
Scalene: ALL sides have different lengths
Isosceles: two sides have the same lengths
Equilateral: ALL sides have the same length
Define: Side-Side-Side (SSS)
If the corresponding sides lengths of 2 triangles are proportional, then the triangles are similar
