Study Notes

Triangle Properties

Triangle Sum Theorem: The measure of interior angles in a triangle always adds up to 180 degrees.
Triangle Inequality Theorem: The sum of any two side lengths must be greater than the third side (e.g., AB + BC > AC).
Isosceles Triangle Theorem: If two sides of a triangle are congruent, the angles opposite those sides are also congruent.
Third Angle Theorem: If two angles are congruent, the third angle must also be congruent.

Polygon Angle Measures

Quadrilateral: Total interior angle measure is 360 degrees.
Pentagon: Total interior angle measure is 540 degrees.
Hexagon: Total interior angle measure is 720 degrees.
Decagon: Total interior angle measure is 1440 degrees.
Polygon Angle Sum Theorem: The sum of interior angles equals (n-2) × 180, where n is the number of sides.

Angles and Relationships

Exterior Angle: Formed by one side of a polygon and the extension of an adjacent side, and it forms a linear pair with the interior angle.
Remote Interior Angle: An interior angle not adjacent to a given exterior angle.

Triangle Classification

Equilateral Triangle: All sides and angles are congruent.
Equiangular Triangle: All angles are congruent.
Equilateral Triangle Theorem: An equilateral triangle is also equiangular, and vice versa.

Ratios and Proportional Relationships

Ratios: A comparison of two quantities, usually expressed in simplest form (a:b or a/b).
Cross Product: Refers to the product of the extreme terms and the product of the means in a proportion.
Proportion: An equation stating that two ratios are equal.
Scale Factor: The ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides of two similar polygons.

Similar Triangles Criteria

Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity: If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, the triangles are similar.
Side-Side-Side (SSS) Similarity: If corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, the triangles are similar.
Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Similarity: If two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are congruent, the triangles are similar.

Special Segments in Triangles

Triangle Angle Bisector: An angle bisector divides the opposite side into segments proportional to the other two sides.
Triangle Proportionality Theorem: A line drawn parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionally.
Special Segmented Triangles: In similar triangles, the lengths of corresponding altitudes, medians, and angle bisectors are proportional to the lengths of their corresponding sides.
Parallel Lines: When three or more parallel lines cut through two transversals, they create proportional segments in the transversals.
