corollary | A statement that can be proved easily using a theorem or a definition |
corollary to the triangle sum theorem | The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary |
exterior angles of a triangle | When the sides of a triangle are extended, the angles that are adjacent to the interior angles |
exterior angle theorem | The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two nonadjacent interior angles |
interior angles of a triangle | When the sides of a triangle are extended, the three original angles of a triangle |
sides of an isosceles triangles | The two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle are called the legs and the third side is known as the base |
sides of a right triangle | In a right triangle, the sides that form the right angle are called the legs and the side opposite the right angle is known as the hypotenuse |

base angles theorem | if two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent |
corollary to base angles theorem | if a triangle is equilateral, then it is equilangular |
corollary to the converse of the base angles theorem | if a triangle is equilangular, then it is equilateral |
converse of the base angles theorem | if two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are congruent |
hypotenuse-leg congruence theorem | if the hypotenuse and the leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of a second right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent |
