Term
HL Theorem
Definition
If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle then the triangles are congruent

Definition
If two lines are parallel, then all points on one line are equidistant from the other line
Term
Theorem 5-9
Definition
If three parallel line cut off congruent segments on one transversal, then they cut off congruent segments on every transversal
Term
Theorem 5-10
Definition
A line that contains the midpoint of one side of a triangle and is parallel to another side passes through the midpoint of the third side
