24
the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side
triangle inequality theorem
25
if two sides of a triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second triangle, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of he second triangle
hinge theorem
26
if two sides of a triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the third side in the first is longer than the second triangle, then the included angle measure of the first triangle is greater than the included angle measure in the second triangle
converse of the hinge theorem
27
a segment tht connects any two nonconsecutive vertices
diagonal
28
the sum of the interior angle measures of an n-sided convex polygon is (n-2)*180
polygon interior angles sum
29
the sum of the exterior angle measures of a convex polygon, one angle at each vertex, is 360
polygon exterior angles sum
30
a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel
parallelogram
31
- if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its diagonals bisect each other - if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then each diagonal separates the parallelogram into two congruent triangles
diagonals of parallelograms
32
a parallelogram with four right angles
rectangle
33
if a parallelogram is a rectangle, then its diagonals are congruent if diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, then the parallelogram is a rectangle
diagonals of a rectangle
34
a parallelogram with all four sides congruent
rhombus
35
if a parallelogram is a rhombus, then its diagonals are perpendicular if a parallelogram is a rhombus, then each diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles

legs
40
angles formed by the base and one of the legs
base angles
41
if the legs of a trapezoid are congruent, then it is this
isosceles trapezoid
42
- if a trapezoid is isosceles, then each pair of base angles is congruent - if a trapezoid has one pair of congruent base angles then it is an isosceles trapezoid - a trapezoid is isosceles if and only if its diagonals are congruent
isosceles trapezoid
43
