Study Notes
Triangle Similarity Theorems
- Angle-Angle Similarity Postulate (AA): Two triangles are similar if two corresponding angles are congruent.
- Side-Side-Side Similarity Theorem (SSS): Triangles are similar if the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional.
Triangle Congruence Theorems
- Side-Angle-Side Congruence Postulate (SAS): If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to those of another triangle, they are congruent.
- Side-Side-Side Congruence Postulate (SSS): Triangles are congruent if all three sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides of another triangle.
- Angle-Side-Angle Congruence Postulate (ASA): If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, they are congruent.
- Angle-Angle-Side Congruence Postulate (AAS): If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are congruent to those of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
Proportional Relationships in Triangles
- Triangle Proportionality Theorem: A line parallel to one side of a triangle that intersects the other two sides divides those sides proportionally.
- Converse of the Triangle Proportionality Theorem: A line that divides two sides of a triangle proportionally is parallel to the third side.
Special Theorems Related to Angles
- Triangle Angle Bisector Theorem: The lengths of the segments created by an angle bisector on the opposite side are proportional to the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle.
- Hypotenuse-Leg Congruence Theorem (HL): In right triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg are congruent to those of another right triangle, the triangles are congruent.
Additional Theories
- No Name Similarity Theorem: When an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the two triangles formed are similar to the original triangle and to each other.
