Theorems Flashcards
Right Angles Congruence Theorem
All right angles are congruent.
Congruent Supplements Theorem
If 2 angles are supplementary to the same angle (or to congruent angles), then they are congruent.
Congruent Complements Theorem
If 2 angles are complementary to the same angle (or to congruent angles), then they are congruent.
Vertical Angles Congruence Theorem
Vertical angles are congruent.
Linear Pair Perpendicular Theorem
If 2 lines intersect to form a linear pair of congruent angles, then the lines are perpendicular
Perpendicular Transversal Theorem
In a plane, if a transversal is perpendicular to one of 2 parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other line
Lines Perpendicular to a Transveral
In a plane, if 2 lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel to each other
Triangle Sum Theorem
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
Exterior Angle Theorem
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two nonadjacent interior angles.
Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem
The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Theorem
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Theorem
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
