CONGRUENT

-in agreement or harmony.

VERTICAL
-at right angles to a horizontal plane; in a direction, or having an alignment,
such that the top is directly above the bottom.
COMPLEMENTART ANGLE
-either of two angles whose sum is 90.
SUPPLIMENTARY ANGLE
-either of two angles whose sum is 180.
POSTULATES
-suggest or assume the existence, fact, or truth of (something) as a basis for
reasoning, discussion, or belief.
THEOREMS
-a general proposition not self-evident but proved by a chain of reasoning; a
truth established by means of accepted truths.
-a rule in algebra or other branches of mathematics expressed by symbols or
formulae.
HYPOTENUSE
-the longest side of a right triangle, opposite the right angle.
ANGLE BISECTOR
-is a line or ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles. The two
types of angle bisectors are interior and exterior. Some important points to
remember about angle bisectors: The bisector of an angle consists of all points that
are equidistant from the sides of the angle.
WHEN 2 TRIANGLES ARE CONGRUENT
-ASA stands for "angle, side, angle" and means that we have two triangles
where we know two angles and the included side are equal. If two angles and the
included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side of
another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
