- 1Hypotenuse-leg theoremA theorem that states that two right triangles are congruent if their hypotenuse and corresponding leg is equivalent.
- 2Linear PairAngels with a sum of 180 degrees; supplementary angles
- 3Special right trianglesSide based right triangles and the lengths of the sides form ratios of whole numbers and other special numbers.
They are special because right triangles are angle based and special right triangles are side based. - 4Angle Addition Postulatewhen two triangle are put beside each other, the measure of the resulting angle will be congruent to the sum of the two original angles
- 5EquiangularAll angles are congruent
- 6BisectorSomething that cuts an object into two parts.
- 7Exterior Angle TheoremAn exterior angle's measure is the same as the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles.
- 8ASA PostulateAngle, Side, Angle; If 2 angles and a side are congruent on two triangles, the triangles are congruent
- 9Transversala line that passes through two other lines at two different intersection points
- 10Side Splitter TheoremIf a line is parallel to a triangle's side and intersects.
- 11Triangle Mid-segment TheoremThe segment joining the midpoints of any two sides will be parallel to the third side and half its length.
- 12SSS PostulateSide, Side, Side; if 3 sides of a triangle are equivalent to the others, they are congruent.
- 13Adjacent anglesAngles that share a side and vertex
- 14AAS PostulateAngle, Angle, Side
- 15SAS PostulateSide, Angle, Side; If 2 sides and an angle are congruent to the corresponding side of the other triangles, they are congruent.
