Congruent TrianglesAll corresponding angles are congruent, and all corresponding sides are congruent.
Equilateral TriangleA triangle with three congruent sides.
TriangleA three-sided polygon.
Isosceles TriangleA triangle with at least two congruent sides.
Scalene TriangleA triangle with no congruent sides.
Actue TriangleA triangle with three acute angles.
Equiangular TriangleAn acute triangle with three congruent angles.
Right TriangleA triangle with exactly one right angle.
Obtuse TriangleA triangle with exactly one obtuse angle.
HypotenuseThe side opposite the right angle in a right triangle.
LegsThe two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle.
BaseThe noncongruent side of an isosceles triangle.
Triangle Sum TheoremThe sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
Third Angles TheoremIf two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of a second triangle, thenthe third angles are also congruent.
Theorem 4.4The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
Exterior Angle TheoremThe measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two remote (nonadjacent) interior angles.
Exterior Angle InequalityThe measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the meausre of either of the two remote (nonadjacent) interior angles.
SSS Congruence PostulateIf three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
SAS Congruence PostulateIf two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
ASA Congruence PostulateIf two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
AAS Congruence TheoremIf two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding nonincluded side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
CPCTCCorresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
Base Angles TheoremIf two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent.
CongruentIf two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are ________.
DistanceThe _________ between two parallel lines is the length of a perpendicular segment between the two lines.
HL Congruence TheoremIf the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of a second right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
