Triangles
Triangles Theorem:
The measured angles of a triangle sum up to 180°.
Corollary 1
If two angles of a triangle are congruent to two other angles
from another triangle then, the third angles are congruent.
Corollary 2
The individual measured angles of an equiangular triangle is
60°.
Corollary 3
In a triangle, at most, there can only be one right angle or
obtuse angle.
Corollary 4
In a triangle, the acute angles are complementary.
Theorem:
The measure of any exterior angle in a triangle is equal to the
sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles.
Postulate: The SSS Postulate:
If three sides of a triangle is congruent with three sides of
another triangle then, the triangles are congruent.
Postulate: The SAS Postulate:
If two sides and the included angle of a triangle are congruent
with two sides and the included angle of another triangle then,
the triangles are congruent.
Postulate: The ASA Postulate:
If two angles and the included side of a triangle are congruent
with two angles and the included side of another triangle then,
the triangles are congruent.
Theorem: The Isosceles Triangle Theorem:
If two sides of a triangle are congruent then the angles opposite
those sides are congruent.
Corollary 1:
An equilateral triangle is also an equiangular triangle.
Corollary 2:
An equilateral triangle has three 60° angles.
Corollary 3:
The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is
perpendicular to the base at its midpoint.
Theorem: The AAS Theorem:
If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides
opposite the angles are congruent.
Theorem:
If two angles and the non-included side of a triangle are
congruent to two angles and the non-included side of another
triangle then , the triangles are congruent.
A median of a triangle is a segment from a vertex to the midpoint
of the opposite side of the vertex.
An altitude of a triangle is a segment from a vertex and it is
perpendicular to the opposite side of the vertex.
Theorem:
The segment whose endpoints are the midpoints of two sides of a
triangle:
a) is parallel to the third side.
b) its length is half the length of the third side.
