3rd Angles Theorem
If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are congruent.
SSS Postulate
If the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
SAS Postulate
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
ASA Postulate
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
AAS Theorem
If two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding nonincluded side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Isosceles Triangle Theorem
If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent
Converse of Isosceles Triangle Theorem
If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite the angles are congruent.
Vertex Angle Bisector Theorem
The bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is the perpendicular bisector of the base.
Corollary to The Isosceles Triangle Theorem
If a triangle is equilateral, then the triangle is equiangular
Corollary to the Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem
If a triangle is equiangular, then the triangle is equilateral.
Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Theorem
If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
