Study Notes

Congruence, Proof, and Constructions

  • Congruent shapes can be visually identified; the one that looks similar is the likely congruent shape.
  • Triangles ABC and XYZ are congruent by the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) criterion.
  • Triangles BAC and RQP are congruent by the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) criterion.
  • If triangles ABC and DEC are congruent, then x equals 1.
  • Given mF = 40°, mA = 80°, and mG = 60°, angle mB is determined to be 40°.
  • Triangles ABC, FGE, and PQR are confirmed congruent under the SAS criterion.
  • In a proof, stating CE = DF is justified by the Transitive Property of Equality.
  • For proving ∠PCQ complementary to ∠ABC, the missing step involves asserting that corresponding angles are congruent due to parallel lines cut by a transversal.
  • If transversal t intersects parallel lines a and b, then the sum of angles m∠3 and m∠5 equals 180°.
  • From a given diagram, it can be proven that ∠DGB is supplementary to ∠CGB.
  • When CD bisects AB at point G and AE equals BE, then AG must equal BG.
  • The congruence of angles ∠2 and ∠7 afirms the use of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem.
  • Several angles are noted to be congruent to specific angles (e.g., angles congruent to ∠2, ∠6, ∠1, and ∠7).
  • Medians PS, QT, and RU of triangle PQR meet at point (4, 5).
  • In triangle ABC, a midsegment parallel to a side is justified by the definition of a midpoint.
  • In an isosceles triangle where AB equals AC, angle m∠ABC can be calculated based on given conditions.
  • The Vertical Angles Theorem supports the reasoning in a proof involving intersecting bisectors AC and BD.
  • In parallelogram LMNO, the dimensions given provide a means to find specific lengths, like assessing that the length of certain segments equals 3.2.
  • The coordinates of point D can be determined from points A, B, and C, resulting in D being located at (1, 0).
  • If lengths are given as 12 cm and 11 cm, segments AD equals 11 cm, while segment DC measures 12 cm.
