Interior Angle
an angle at the vertex of a triangle
SSS
side-side-side if 3 sides of 1 triangle are congruent to 3 sides of a 2nd triangle, then the triangle is congruent
LL
leg -leg
if the legs of one right triangle are congruent to the legs off another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent
How do you know where the hypotenuse is? Where is it in this triangle?
A
CB
1-The side across from the right angle
2- LINE AB
What part is this?
LEG
auxiliary line
an extra line or segment drawn in a figure to help analyze geometric relationships
SAS
side-angle-side
if 2 sides and the included angles of 1 triangle are congruent to the 2 sides and the included angle of a 2nd triangle then the triangles are congruent
HA
if the hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and corresponding acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Draw an example of an included angle
What part is this?
BASE
Exterior angle of a Triangle
ASA
angle-side-angle
if 2 angles and the included side of 1 triangle are congruent to 2 angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent
Which shortcut could you use?
HA
How do you do a coordinate proof?
Hint- list the steps
1- graph and label
2- show the math
3- so...
What part is this?
BASE ANGLE
Remote interior angle
interior angles of a triangle that are not adjacent to an exterior angle
AAS
angle-angle-side
if 2 angles and the nonincluded side of 1 triangle are congruent to the corresponding 2 angles and the side of a 2nd triangle, then the 2 triangles are congruent
LA
if one leg and an acute angle of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding leg and acute angle of another triangles then the triangles are congruent
What can you use to find the third side of this triangle? What is the answer? Show all work.
LINE AB=5
LINE CB= 10
LINE AC=?
A
CB
1-Pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2)
2- 5^2+10^2=c^2
25+100=c^2
√125=c
c=√125 or 11.2
What part is this?
Hint- the tip of the triangle
Corollary
a theorem with a proof that follows as 2 direct result of another theorem
Which shortcut could you use for this?
HL
hypotenuse-leg
if the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding leg and acute if another triangle, then the triangles are congruent
What does the Principal of Superposition say?
Is it Isosceles? Why?
HINT- m<A=70 degrees
LINE CB= 8
LINE AB= 6.4
HINT 2- use thms
A
CB
YES it is Isosceles because there is two congruent angles as well as sides.
step 1- 180-70=110 degrees
step 2- 110/2=55 degrees
step 3- m<C= 55 and m<B= 55
