Term
sss congruence theorem
Definition
If, in 2 triangles, three side of one are congruent to three side of the other, then the triangles are congruent
Term
SAS congruence theorem
Definition
If, in two triangles, two sides and the included angle of one are congruent to two sides anf the included angle of the other, than the triangles are congruent
Term
ASA Congruence theorem
Definition
if, in two triangles, two angles and the included side of one are congruent to two angles and the included side of the other, then the triangles are congruent
Term
AAS congruence theorem
Definition
if, in two triangles, two angles and a non- included side of one one are congruent respectively to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of the other, then the two triangles are congruent
Term
Isosceles Triangle Base angles converse theorem
Definition
if two angles of a trianle are congruent, then the sides oppsite them are congruent
Term
HL congruence theorem
Definition
if, in two right triangles, the hypotenuse and a leg of one are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of the other, then the two triangles and congruent
Term
SsA Congruence theorem
Definition
if two sides and the angle opposite the longer or the two sides in one triangle are congruent, respectively, to two side and the corresponding angle in another triangle, then the triangles are congruent
Term
properties of a paralellogram
Definition
(a) opposite sides are congruent
(b) opposite angles are congruent
(c) the diagonals intersect at their midpoints
Term
parallelogram symmetry theorem
Definition
every paralellogram has 2- fold rotation symmetry about the intersection of its diagonals
Term
Sufficient conditions for a paralellogram theorem
Definition
if if a quadrilateral
(a) one pair of sides is both parallel and congruent, or
(b) both pairs of opposite sides are congruent, or
(c) the diagonals bisect each other, or
(d) both pairs of opposite angles,
then the quadrilateral is a paralellogram
Term
esterior angle theorem
Definition
in a triangle the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sim of the measures of the interior angles at the other two verticies of the triangle
Term
exterior angle inequality
Definition
in a triangle, the measure of an esterior angle is greater than the measure of the interior angle at each of the other two verticies
Term
unequal sides theorem
Definition
if two sides of a triangle are not congruent, then the angles opposite them are not congruent and the larger angle is opposite the longer side
Term
unequal angles theorem
Definition
if two angles of a triangle are not congruent, then the sides opposite them are not congruent and the longer side is opposite the larger angle
Term
sss similarity theorm
Definition
if three sides of one triangle are proportional to three sides of a second triangle, then the triangles are similar
Term
AA similarity theorem
Definition
if two angles of one tirangle are congruent to two triangles of another, then the triangles are similar
Term
SAS similarity theorem
Definition
in in two triangles, the ratios of two pairs of corresponding sides are equal adnthe included angles are congruent then the triangles are similar
