Pythagorean theorem
A squared plus B squared equals C squared
Converse of the Pythagorean theorem
If C squared equals Ansquared plus B squared then ABC is a right triangle 
Pythagorean inequalities theorem
If C squared is less than Absquared plus B squared then acute; if C squared is greater than A squared plus B squared then obtuse
45, 45, 90 triangle theorem
If 45, 45, 90 triangle, the hypotenuse is the square root of 2 times as long as each leg
30, 60, 90, triangle theorem
The hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg, and the shorter leg (across the 60) Is the square root of three times as long as the shorter leg
Altitude theorem
Altitude squared is equal to hypotenuse segment times second hypotenuse segment
Geometric mean, leg theorem
Leg squared, is equal to Adjacent segment times entire hypotenuse/overall
