Term | Definition |
---|---|
Triangle | A polygon with three sides. |
Scalene Triangle | A triangle with no congruent sides. |
Isosceles Triangle | A triangle with at least two congruent sides. |
Equilateral Triangle | A triangle with three congruent sides. |
Acute Triangle | A triangle with three acute angles. |
Right Triangle | A triangle with one right angle. |
Obtuse Triangle | A triangle with one obtuse angle. |
Equiangular Triangle | A triangle with three congruent angles. |
Interior Angles | The angles on the inside of a shape. When the sides of a polygon are extended, the original angles are the interior angles. |
Exterior Angles | When the sides of a polygon are extended, the angles that form linear pairs with the interior angles are the exterior angles. |
Triangle Sum Theorem | The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle equal 180 degrees. |
Exterior Angle Theorem | The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle, is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non adjacent interior angles. |
Corollary to a Theorem | A statement that can be proved easily by using the theorem. |
Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem | The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary. |
