| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Triangle Sum Theorem | The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. |
| 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 angle |
| Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem | The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary. |
| Reflexive Property of Triangle Congruence | For any triangle △ABC, △ABC ≅ △ABC. |
| Symmetric Property of Triangle Congruence | If △ABC ≅ △DEF, then △DEF ≅ △ABC. |
| Transitive Property of Triangle Congruence | If △ABC ≅ △DEF and △DEF ≅ △JKL, then △ABC ≅ △JKL. |
| 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-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Theorem | If 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. |
| Base Angles Theorem | If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent. |
| Converse of the Base Angles Theorem | If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are congruent. |
| Corollary to the Base Angles Theorem | If a triangle is equilateral, then it is equiangular. |
| Corollary to the Converse of the Base Angles Theorem | If a triangle is equiangular, then it is equilateral. |
| Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Theorem | If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. |
| Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence Theorem | If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of a second right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. |
| Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence Theorem | If 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 |
| 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. |
