What is the altitude of a triangle?

A perpendicular segment that connects a vertex to the opposite side.
200

What two angles add up together to equal m<ACD?

m<A + m<B

200

What do you call the non-congruent angle in an isosceles triangle?

Vertex Angle

200

If we know that m<A=m<X and AB=XY, what information are we missing to prove that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle XYZ by SAS?

AC = XZ

200

What do we have to know before using CPCTC?

That two triangles are congruent

300

In triangle ABD, AC is a median. If BC=2x+4 and CD=3x-10, what is the value of BD? 

BD = 64

300

In triangle ABC, if m<A=85, and m<B=25, what is the m<C?

m<C=70

300

If an isosceles triangle's vertex has the measurement of 30 degrees, what is the measurement of one of the base angles?

75 degrees

300

If you know that m<D = m<C and AD=CE, how do you prove that triangle ADB is congruent to triangle ECB?

AAS

300

Write all of the congruence statements considering triangle ABC is congruent to triangle ADC.

AB=AD, AC=AC, BC=CD

<B=<D, <BAC=<DAC, <BCA=<DCA

400

If m<A=3x+33, m<B=2x+9, and m<ACD=7x+2. What is the value of <ACD?

m<ACD = 142

400

If m<A=72 and m<ACD=155, what is the m<B?

400

What do you call the congruent angles of an isosceles triangle?

Base angles

400

What does CPCTC stand for? 🍭

Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent

500

Can the median and the altitude be the same segment in a triangle? Explain why or why not, and give an example of why or why it can never work.

The median and altitude CAN be the same segment when the triangle is isosceles or equilateral. If it is isosceles, the segment has to be drawn from the vertex angle.

500

In triangle ABC, m<A=3x-1, m<B=10x, and m<C=7x+1. What is the value of x?

x = 9

500

Can an isosceles triangle have a base angle of 95? Explain why or why not.

No, since there are two congruent base angles in an isosceles triangle, if they are each 95 degrees, then they add up to 190 degrees, which is larger than 180 (the measure of the interior angles of an isosceles triangle)
