Theorem 3-5
|
If two sides of a triangle are not congruent, then the larger angle lies opposite the longer side.
|
|
Theorem 3-6
|
If two angles of a triangle are not congruent, then the longer side lies opposite the larger angle.
|
|
Theorem 3-6 cont.
|
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
|
|
Can a triangle have sides with 2, 3, and 4?
|
yes, it can be a triangle
2+3 >4 2+4>3 3+4>2 |
|
Can a triangle have sides with 3, 5, and 9?
|
No, this cannot be a triangle
3+5>9 not true 3+9.5 true 5+9>3 true |

PROOFs
Definition of a Linear Pair |
m<A + m<B = 180
|
|
Substitution Property of equality
|
m<A + 34 = 180
|
|
Subtraction property of equality
|
m<A = 146
|
|
Angle Addition Postulate
|
2 angles on one triangle = 2 angles on another triangle
|
|
Congruent Polygons
|
when all their corresponding parts (sides and angles) are congruent
|
|
Congruent Triangles
|
If two triangles are congruent then the corresponding sides and angles must be congruent. (biconditional statement)
|
|
CONVERSE of congruent triangles
|
If all the corresponding parts of two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.
|
|
Triangle Congruency Postulates.
|
three postulates and one theorem that prove that two triangles are congruent.
SSS SAS ASA |
|
3-1 Side Side Side
|
If 3 sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
|
|
3-2 Side Angle Side
|
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides and angle of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
|
|
Triangle Congruency Theorem
|
If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are also congruent.
|
|
Triangle Sum Theorem
|
sum of the measures of the angle in a triangle =180
|
|
Angle Angle Side
|
If two angles and a non common side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and side of a second triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
|
|
Segment AC = Segment AC
|
Reflective (mirrors) Property of Equality
|
|
CPCTC Theorem
|
If two triangles are congruent, then all corresponding parts (SIDES and ANGLES) are congruent.
|
|
Pythagorean Theorem
|
In a right triangle, the sum of the square of each leg of the triangle is equal to the square of te hypotenuse. c^2= a^2 + b^2
|
|
LL Theorem (Leg-Leg)
|
If the legs of one right triangle are congruent tothe corresponding legs of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
|
|
HL Theorem (Hypotenuse -Leg)
|
If the hypotenuse and a leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypothenuse and leg of another right triangle, the triangles are congruent.
