Study Notes
Midpoints and Congruence
- If M is the midpoint of line segment AB, then segments AM and MB are equal (AM = MB).
- Congruence of segments is characterized by reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity.
Angle Relationships
- Angles that form a linear pair are supplementary, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees.
- If the noncommon sides of two adjacent angles create a right angle, those angles are complementary, summing to 90 degrees.
- Congruence of angles also follows reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity.
- Angles supplementing the same angle or two congruent angles are congruent to each other.
- Angles complementing the same angle or two congruent angles are congruent to each other.
Vertical and Perpendicular Angles
- Vertical angles, which are opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines, are congruent.
- Perpendicular lines intersect to form four right angles, each measuring 90 degrees.
- All right angles are congruent, emphasizing their equality.
- Perpendicular lines also create congruent adjacent angles.
Special Angle Relationships
- If two right angles are congruent and supplementary, each angle must be a right angle.
- If two congruent angles form a linear pair, they are both right angles.
Transversals and Parallel Lines
- When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, each pair of alternate interior angles is supplementary.
- Each pair of consecutive interior angles formed by the transversal and parallel lines is supplementary.
- Alternate exterior angles formed when a transversal cuts two parallel lines are congruent.
Perpendicularity and Parallelism
- In a plane, if a line is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, it is also parallel to the other.
- If two lines are equidistant from a third line, they are parallel.
Triangle Properties
- The sum of the angles internal to any triangle is always 180 degrees.
- If two angles in one triangle are congruent to two angles in another triangle, the third angles in both triangles are also congruent.
- The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equivalent to the sum of the two remote interior angles.
