Definition
At least 2 congruent sides.
Term
Scalene Triangle
Definition
No congruent sides.
Term
Acute Triangle
Definition
3 acute angles.
Term
Equilangular Triangle
Definition
3 congruent angles
Term
Right Triangle
Definition
1 right angle.
Term
Obtuse Triangle
Definition
1 obtuse angle.
Term
Interior Angles
Definition
Angles located inside a figure
Term
Exterior Angles
Definition
An angle that forms a linear pair with an interior angle when the sides are extended.
Term
Theorem 4.1 Triangle sum theorem
Definition
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180.
Term
Theorem 4.2 Exterior angle theorem
Definition
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two nonadjacent interior angles.
Term
Corollary to the triangle sum theorem
Definition
The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
Term
Theorem 4.3 Third angles theorem
Definition
If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle then the third angles are also congruent.
Term
Theorem 4.4 Properties of congruent triangles
Definition
Reflexive, symmetric, and transitive properties, only for triangles. In other words, I'm too lazy to rewrite all of those definitions again.
Term
Side-side-side congruence postulate
Definition
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Term
Side-Angle-Side Congruence postulate
Definition
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, then tthe two triangles are congruent.
Term
Angle-Side-Angle Congruence Postulate
Definition
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Term
Angle-Angle-Side Congruence Theorem
Definition
If two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding nonincluded side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Term
Hypotenuse-Leg Congruence Theorem
Definition
If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of a second right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Term
CPCF Theorem
Definition
Corresponding parts of congruent figures are congruent.
Term
Isosceles Triangle Base Angles Theorem
Definition
If two sides of a triangle are congruent then the angles opposite of them are congruent.
Term
Isosceles Triangle Base Angles Converse Theorem
Definition
If two angles of a triangle are congruent ,then the sides opposite of them are congruent.
Term

Definition
Three positive whole numbers that can go into the pythagoream theorem
