Question
Answer
Reflexive Property   A quantity is congruent (equal) to itself. a = a  
🗑
Symmetric Property   If a = b, then b = a.  
🗑
Transitive Property   If a = b and b = c, then a = c.  
🗑
Addition Postulate   If equal quantities are subtracted from equal quantities, the differences are equal.  
🗑
Subtraction Postulate   If equal quantities are subtracted from equal quantities, the differences are equal.  
🗑
Multiplication Postulate   If equal quantities are multiplied by equal quantities, the products are equal. (also Doubles of equal quantities are equal.)  
🗑
Division Postulate   If equal quantities are divided by equal nonzero quantities, the quotients are equal. (also Halves of equal quantities are equal.)  
🗑
Substitution Postulate   A quantity may be substituted for its equal in any expression.  
🗑
Partition Postulate   The whole is equal to the sum of its parts.  
🗑
Angle Addition Postulate   m  
🗑
Construction   Two points determine a straight line.  
🗑
Right Angles   All right angles are congruent.  
🗑
Straight Angles   All straight angles are congruent.  
🗑
Congruent Supplements   Supplements of the same angle, or congruent angles, are congruent.  
🗑
Congruent Complements   Complements of the same angle, or congruent angles, are congruent.  
🗑
Linear Pair   If two angles form a linear pair, they are supplementary.  
🗑
Vertical Angles   Vertical angles are congruent.  
🗑
Triangle Sum   The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180ยบ.  
🗑
Exterior Angle   The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles. The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than either non-adjacent interior angle.  
🗑
Base Angle Theorem (Isosceles Triangle)   If two sides of a triangle are congruent, the angles opposite these sides are congruent.  
🗑
Base Angle Converse (Isosceles Triangle)   If two angles of a triangle are congruent, the sides opposite these angles are congruent.  
🗑
Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence   If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.  
🗑
Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence   If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.  
🗑
Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence   If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.  
🗑
Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence   If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.  
🗑
Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence (right triangle)   If the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, the two right triangles are congruent.  
🗑
CPCTC   Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.  
🗑
Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity   If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar.  
🗑
SSS for Similarity   If the three sets of corresponding sides of two triangles are in proportion, the triangles are similar.  
🗑
SAS for Similarity   If an angle of one triangle is congruent to the corresponding angle of another triangle and the lengths of the sides including these angles are in proportion, the triangles are similar.  
🗑
Side Proportionality   If two triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are in proportion.  
🗑
Mid-segment Theorem (also called mid-line)   The segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half as long.  
🗑
Sum of Two Sides   The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side  
🗑
Longest Side   In a triangle, the longest side is across from the largest angle. In a triangle, the largest angle is across from the longest side.  
🗑
Altitude Rule   The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the mean proportional between the segments into which it divides the hypotenuse.  
🗑
Leg Rule   Each leg of a right triangle is the mean proportional between the hypotenuse and the projection of the leg on the hypotenuse.  
🗑
Corresponding Angles   If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.  
🗑
Corresponding Angles Converse   If two lines are cut by a transversal and the corresponding angles are congruent, the lines are parallel.  
🗑
Alternate Interior Angles   If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.  
🗑
Alternate Exterior Angles   If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the alternate exterior angles are congruent.  
🗑
Interiors on Same Side   If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary.  
🗑
Alternate Interior Angles Converse   If two lines are cut by a transversal and the alternate interior angles are congruent, the lines are parallel.  
🗑
Alternate Exterior AnglesConverse   If two lines are cut by a transversal and the alternate exterior angles are congruent, the lines are parallel.  
🗑
Interiors on Same Side Converse   If two lines are cut by a transversal and the interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary, the lines are parallel.  
🗑
geometric mean   x=square root(ab)
