Triangles, Corollaries 1-4, Theorem 3-11/12 Flashcards
What is a corollary?
A corollary is a statement that can be proven easily by applying a theorem. Corollaries can be used as reasons in proofs.
Corollary #1
If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are congruent.
Corollary #2
Each angle of an equiangular triangle has measure 60.
Corollary #3
In a triangle, there can be at most one right angle or one obtuse angle.
Corollary #4
The acute angles of a right angle are complementary.
What is Theorem 3-11?
The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180.
Contains an axillary line in the diagram
What is Theorem 3-12?
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles,
What is the exterior angle of a triangle?
What are the remote interior angles of a triangle?
The exterior of an angle of a triangle is formed when one side of a triangle is extended.
Remote interior angles of a triangle are the other two angles of the triangle.
What is the definition of a triangle?
What are the kinds of triangles?
What are the kinds of angles in a triangle?
A triangle is the figure formed by three segments joining three noncollinear points.
The kinds of triangles are; Right, Obtuse, Acute, Equiangular
The kinds of angles in a triangle are; Isosceles, Scalene, Equilateral
