Vertical Angles

Vertical Angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross.

This picture represent vertical angles because two angles are congruent, so the other two
are also congruent. They also add up to 360 degrees.

Theorems, Postulates, and Conjectures

2-7-2 Vertical Angles Theorem

Vertical angles are congruent

2-7-3 If two congruent angles are supplementary, then each angle is a right angle.

1-1-1 Through any two points there is exactly one line.

1-1-2 Through any three noncolinear points there is exactly one plane containing them.

1-1-4 If two lines intersect, then they intersect at exactly one point.

1-1-5 If two planes intersect, then they intersect at exactly one point.

1-2-2 Segment addition postulate If B is between A &C, then AB+BC=AC

1-3-2 Angle Addition Postulate If S is in the interior of <PQR, then m<PQS+ m<SQR= m<
PQR.

Acute Triangle

A triangle that has all angles less than 90 (90 is a Right Angle)

This slice of pizza has at least one acute angle.

4-3-2 The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary

3-2-2 Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

3-2-3 Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate exterior
angles are congruent

3-2-4 Same Side Interior Angles Theorem

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior
angles are congruent

If two parallel line are cut by a transversal, then the two pairs of alternate exterior
angles are congruent.

3-4-3 If two intersecting lines form a linear pair of congruent angles, then the
lines are perpendicular.

Obtuse Triangle

A triangle that has an angle greater than 90

This picture represents an obtuse triangle because it has an

obtuse angle.

3-2-1 Corresponding Angles Postulate

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of

corresponding angles are congruent.

Right Triangle

A right triangle (American English) or rightangled triangle (British English) is a triangle in which
one angle is a right angle (that is, a 90-degree angle).
The relation between the sides and angles of a right
triangle is the basis for trigonometry.

This picture represents a Right Triangle because it has

one right angle (90 degrees.

1-6-1 Pythagorean Theorem in a right angle, the sum of the

squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the
length of the hypotenuse.

2-6-1 Linear Pair Theorem

If two angles form a linear pair, then they are
supplementary.
2-6-2 Congruent Supplements Theorem
If two angles are supplementary to the same angle (or to
two congruent angles), then the two angles are congruent.
2-6-3 Right Angle Congruence Theorem
All right angles are congruent
2-6-4 Congruent Complements Theorem
If two angles are complementary to the same angle or to
two congruent angles), then the two angles are congruent.

Pythagorean Theorem

Equilateral Triangle

In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are

equal. In traditional or Euclidean geometry, equilateral triangles are also
equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each other
and are each 90

This picture represent Equilateral Triangles because all the sides and angles
are the same (congruent).

Angles Bisector Theorem

If a point is on the bisector of an angle, then it is equidistant from the sides of the
angle.

8-1-1 The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle forms two triangles
that are similar to each other and to the original triangle.

Isosceles Triangle

A triangle with two equal sides; the angles opposite the equal
sides are also equal

rce=univ&sa=X&ei=622sVImgIIHcggSS_YPgCg&ved=0CCcQsAQ

This picture represents Isosceles Triangles because at least 2

sides have the same length (congruent).

4-9-1 Isosceles Triangle Theorem

If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite

the sides are congruent.

4-9-3 If a triangle is equilateral, then it is equiangular.

4-9-4 If a triangle is equiangular, then it is equilateral.

Scalene Triangle

A triangle with all sides of different lengths.

No sides are equal and no angles are equal.

&sa=X&ei=IW6sVKGhF4KrgwSO5IKwDg&ved=0CB0QsAQ

This picture represent Scalene Triangle because none of the sides

or angles are congruent.

3-5-1 Parallel Lines Theorem

In a coordinate plane, two nonvertical lines are parallel if and only if

they have the same slope. Any two vertical lines are parallel.

3-5-2 Perpendicular Lines Theorem

In a coordinate plane, two nonvertical lines are perpendicular if and

only if the product of their slopes is -1. Vertical and horizontal lines
are perpendicular

Circle with a Tangent

This picture has Skittles and there's a tangent when you line them up like
this.

A tangent on a circle is a straight line on the edge of the circle.
