Triangle Congruency
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Polygons with congruent corresponding parts (angles and sides) | Congruent Polygons |
If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are congruent. | Third Angle Theorem |
If the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. | SSS triangle congruence theorem |
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. | SAS triangle congruence theorem |
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. | ASA triangle congruence theorem |
If two angles and the nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding nonincluded side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. | AAS triangle congruence theorem |
corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent | CPCTC |
the congruent sides of an isosceles triangle | legs of an isosceles triangle |
The non-congruent side of an isosceles triangle | base of an isosceles triangle |
the angle formed by the two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle | Vertex Angle of an isoscels triangle |
The congruent angles adjacent to the base of an isosceles triangle. | Base Angles of an isosceles triangle |
If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent. | Isosceles Triangle Theorem |
If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite the angles are congruent. | Converse of Isosceles Triangle Theorem |
The bisector of the vertex angles of an isosceles triangle is the perpendicular bisector of the base. | Theorem: bisector of a vertex angle |
is a statement that follows immediately from a theorem. | Corollary |
The angles of an equilateral triangle are all 60 degrees. | Theorem: Equilateral triangles |
