Theorems, Conjectures, & Postulates Triangle Theorems Triangle Sum Theorem- The sum of the measures of the angles in every 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 angles. Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem- In a right triangle, the acute angles are complementary. Base Angles Theorem ? If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent. Converse of Base Angles Theorem ? If two angles of a triangle are congruent, the sides opposite them are congruent. Corollary to the Base Angle Theorem ? If a triangle is equilateral, then it?s equiangular.

For use with triangles, the theorem is that A Squared + B squared = C squared. C represents the Hypotenuse and A/B represent the other two legs.

In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions) are functions of an angle. They are used to relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of the sides of a triangle. Trigonometric functions are important in the study of triangles and modeling periodic phenomena, among many other applications.

Definition The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse", so the formal definition is: In a right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. So, the square of a (a²) plus the square of b (b²) is equal to the square of c (c²): a2 + b2 = c2 Sure ... ? Let's see if it really works using an example. A "3,4,5" triangle has a right angle in it, so the formula should work. Let's check if the areas are the same: 32 + 42 = 52 Calculating this becomes: 9 + 16 = 25 Yes, it works ! Why Is This Useful?
