Segment + Angle Addition Properties Flashcards
Reflexive Property of Congruence
For any segment, (line) AB is congruent to (line) AB
Symmetric Property of Congruence
If line AB is congruent to line CD then CD is congruent to AB.
Transitive Property of Congruence
if AB is congruent to CD and CD is congruent to EF then AB is congruent to EF
Definition of Congruence
If AB is congruent to CD then the measure of AB equals the measure of CD and vice versa.
Definition of Midpoint
if m is the midpoint of ab, then am = mb
defintion of angle bisector
an angle bisector divides an angke into two equal parts.
defintiion of complementary angles.
complementary - sum is 90 dgerees and vice versa.
definition of supplementary angles
supplementary - sum is 180 degrees and vice versa
definition of perpendicular
perpendicular lines form right angles
definition of a right angle
a right angle = 90 degrees
angle addition postulate
mABD + mDBC = mABC
vertical angles theorem
if two angles are vertical, they are congruent.
complement theorem
right angle = complementary
supplement theorem
linear pair = supplementary
congruent complement theorem
is a is complementary to b and b is complementary to c, then a is congruent to c.
