Unit D Flashcards
Theorem 4-1
If 2 corresponding angles of a triangle are congruent, then the third angles are congruent
Congruent Polygons
- congruent corresponding sides and angles
- list in corresponding order
Triangle
- formed by 3 non-collinear points connected by segments
- each pair of segments of a triangle form an angle
- vertex of each angle is a vertex of the triangle
- named by vertices
Equiangular Triangle
- all angles are congruent
Acute Triangle
- all angles are between 0º and 90º
Right Triangle
- 1 angle must be 90º
Obtuse Triangle
- 1 angle is between 90º and 180º
Equilateral Triangle
- all sides are congruent
Isosceles Triangle
- 2 sides are congruent (legs)
Scalene Triangle
- no sides are congruent
Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem
The sum of the measures of a triangle add up to 180º
Triangle Exterior Angle Theorem
The measure of the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the 2 remote interior angles
Isosceles Triangle Theorem
If the 2 legs are congruent, then the base angles are congruent
Converse of Isosceles Triangle Theorem
If the base angles are congruent, then the sides are congruent
Vertex Angle Bisector Theorem
The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is the perpendicular bisector of the base
Corollary to Theorem 4-4
If the triangle is equilateral, then it is equiangular
Corollary to Theorem 4-5
If the triangle is equiangular, then it is equilateral
SSS
If 3 sides of 1 triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
SAS
If 2 sides and 1 included angle of 1 triangle are congruent to the corresponding included angle and sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
ASA
If 2 angles and 1 included side of 1 triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
AAS
If 2 angles and 1 non-included side of 1 triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
HL
If the hypotenuse and a leg of 1 right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
CPCTC
Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent
Concurrent
When 3 or more lines intersect in 1 point
