    Study Notes

    Properties of Equality

    • Addition Property of Equality: If A=B, then A+C=B+C, allowing addition to both sides of an equation.
    • Subtraction Property of Equality: If A=B, then A-C=B-C, permitting subtraction on both sides of an equation.
    • Multiplication Property of Equality: If A=B, then AC=BC, enabling multiplication of both sides by the same factor.
    • Division Property of Equality: If A=B and C≠0, then A/C = B/C, allowing division of both sides by a non-zero value.

    Properties of Equality Continued

    • Reflexive Property of Equality: For any real number A, A=A demonstrates a number is equal to itself.
    • Symmetric Property of Equality: If A=B, then B=A shows the relationship is reversible.
    • Transitive Property of Equality: If A=B and B=C, then A=C allows for the transitive relationship of equality.
    • Substitution Property of Equality: If A=B, then A can be substituted for B in expressions.

    Fundamental Properties

    • Distributive Property of Equality: A(B+C)=AB+AC illustrates distributing multiplication over addition.

    Angle Definitions and Theorems

    • Definition of Congruent Angles: Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure.
    • Right Angle Congruence Theorem: All right angles are congruent, establishing equality among all right angles.

    Supplementary and Complementary Angles

    • Congruent Supplements Theorem: Angles supplementary to the same angle or to congruent angles are congruent.
    • Congruent Complements Theorem: Angles complementary to the same angle are congruent.
    • Linear Pair Postulate: A linear pair of angles are supplementary, leading to a total of 180 degrees.

    Vertical Angles

    • Vertical Angles Theorem: Vertical angles are always congruent, forming equal angles when two lines intersect.

    Postulates about Lines

    • Parallel Postulate: Through a point not on a given line, exactly one parallel line can be drawn.
    • Perpendicular Postulate: Through a point not on a given line, exactly one perpendicular line can be drawn.

    Theorems about Perpendicular Lines

    • Perpendicular Line Theorem #1: If two lines intersect to form congruent angles, the lines are perpendicular.
    • Perpendicular Line Theorem #2: If angles are adjacent and their sides are perpendicular, the angles are complementary.
    • Perpendicular Line Theorem #3: Perpendicular lines intersect to form right angles.

    Angle Relationships with Transversals

    • Corresponding Angles Postulate: If parallel lines are cut by a transversal, corresponding angles are congruent.
    • Alternate Interior Angles Theorem: Alternate interior angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal are congruent.
    • Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem: Consecutive interior angles are supplementary when parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
    • Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem: Alternate exterior angles are congruent when parallel lines are intersected by a transversal.

    Converse Properties

    • Perpendicular Transversal Theorem: A transversal perpendicular to one parallel line is also perpendicular to the other.
    • Corresponding Angles Converse: If corresponding angles are congruent when two lines are intersected by a transversal, the lines are parallel.
    • Alternate Interior Angles Converse: Congruent alternate interior angles imply the lines are parallel.
    • Consecutive Interior Angles Converse: Supplementary consecutive interior angles indicate the lines are parallel.
    • Alternate Exterior Angles Converse: Congruent alternate exterior angles suggest that the lines are parallel.
