| Similar Triangles Theorem | if the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the two triangles formed are similar to the original triangle and to each other
△CBD ~ ABC
△ACD~ABC
△CBD~ACD
🗑
|
||||
| Corollarry 1 | when the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the length of the altitude is the geometric mean between the segments of the hypotenuse
🗑
|
||||
| Corollary 2 | when the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, each leg is the geometric mean between the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse that is adjacent to that leg
🗑
|
||||
| Pythagorean Theorem | In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs
C²=a²+b²
🗑
|
||||
| Pythagorean Triple | Is a set of three positive integers a, b, and c that satisfy the equation C²=a²+b²
🗑
|
||||
| Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem | If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then the triangle is a RIGHT triangle
if C^2=a^2+b^2 then (triangle)ABC is a right triangle
🗑
|
||||
| Acute Triangles Theorem | If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is less than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then the triangle is acute. C^2<a^2+b^2
🗑
|
||||
| Obtuse Triangle Theorem | If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is greater than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then the triangle is obtuse C²>a²+b²
🗑

| 45⁰- 45⁰ - 90⁰ | In a 45 45 90 triangle, the hypotenuse is root 2 times as long as each leg
🗑
|
||||
| 60⁰-90⁰ | the hypotenuse is 2 times as long as the shorter leg and the longer leg is root 3 times as long as shorter leg
🗑
|
||||
| Trigonometric Ratios | sin= side opposite <A / hypotenuse = a/c
cos= side adjacent <A / hypotenuse = b/c
tan= side opposite <A / side adjacent <A = a/b
🗑

🗑
|
||||
| Triangle Sum Theorem | the sum of the measure of the interior angles of a triangle is 180⁰
🗑
|
||||
| Exterior Angles Theorem | The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of two non-adjacent interior angels
🗑
|
||||
| Third Angles Theorem | If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are also congruent
🗑
|
||||
| Side Side Side Congruence Postulate (SSS) | If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent
🗑
|
||||
| Side Angle Side (SAS) Congruence Postulate | If two dies 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
🗑
|
||||
| Angle Side Angle (ASA) Congruence Postulate | If two angles and he included side of one triangle is congruent to two angles and the included side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent
🗑
|
||||
| Angle Angle Side (AAS) Congruence Theorem | If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent
🗑
|
||||
| Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent (CPCTC) | If two triangles are congruent, then all corresponding parts f those triangles are also congruent
🗑
|
||||
| Base Angle | two angles that are adjacent to the base of the triangle
🗑
|
||||
| Base Angles Theorem | If two sides of a triangles are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent
🗑
|
||||
| Corollary to the Base Angles Theorem | If a triangle is equilateral, then it is equiangular
🗑
|
||||
| Corollary to Theorem | If a triangle is equiangular, then it is equilateral
🗑
