| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Triangle Sum Theorem | The sum of the angle measures of a triangle is 180 degrees |
| Polygon Angle Sum Theorem | The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon with n sides is (n-2)180 degrees |
| Exterior Angle Theorem | The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles |
| Isosceles triangle | triangle with at least 2 congruent sides |
| Congruent sides of a triangle are called | legs |
| Angle formed by legs of triangle are | vertex angles |
| Side opposite of vertex angle is | base |
| Angles that have a base as a side are | base angles |
| Isosceles Triangle Theorem | If 2 sides of a triangle are congruent, then the 2 angles opposite the sides are congruent |
| Equilateral Triangle Theorem | If a triangle is equilateral, then it is equiangular |
| Converse of the Equilateral Triangle Theorem | If a triangle is equiangular, then it is equilateral |
| Triangle Inequality Theorem | The sum of any 2 side lengths of a triangle is greater than the 3rd side length |
| Side-Angle Relationships in Triangles | If 2 sides of a triangle are not congruent, then the larger angle is opposite the longer side |
| Angle-Side Relationships in Triangles | If 2 angles of a triangle are not congruent, then the longer side is opposite the larger angle |
| Circumcenter Theorem | The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle intersect at a point that is equidistant from the vertices of the triangle |
| Angle Bisector Theorem | If a point is on the bisector an of angle, then it is equidistant from the sides of the angle |
| Converse of the Angle Bisector Theorem | If a point in the interior of an angle is equidistant from the sides of the angle, then it is on the bisector of the angle. |
| Incenter Theorem | The angle bisectors of a triangle intersect at a point that is equidistant from the sides of the triangle |
