which acronyms can be used to prove triangle congruence
sss, sas, hl, asa, aas
sss
three sides are congruent
sas
two sides and the included angle are congruent
asa
two angles and the included side and congruent
aas
two angles and a non included sides are congruent
hl
if the hypotenuse and a leg are congruent to the hypotenuse and the leg of another triangle
corresponding angles and sides on polygons
sides and angles that match up on congruent polygons
acute angles in a rights triangle are always
complementary
the measure of each angle sin an equiangular triangle is
60 degrees
triangle sum thm
the sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180 degrees
exterior angle thm
the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles
how many types of triangles are there
7
what are the angle measure triangles
4 of them: obtuse - one obtuse angle acute - all acute angles right - one right angle equiangular - all equal angles
what are the side length triangles
equilateral - three congruent sides
isosceles - two congruent sides
scalene - three different length sides
cpctc
congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent
isosceles vertex angle
angle formed by the legs of a triangle
isosceles base angles
two congruent angles adjacent to the base
isosceles base
side opposite to the vertex angle
isosceles legs
two congruent sides are always the legs on an isosceles triangle
