    Study Notes

    Solving for Angles and Sides in Triangles

    • If a right-angled triangle has angles measuring 30° and 60°, the side opposite the 30° angle is half the length of the hypotenuse.
    • The angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
    • Interior angles are angles formed inside the triangle by its sides
    • Exterior angles are angles formed outside the triangle by extending one of its sides.
    • The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles.

    Properties of Parallel Lines

    • When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the alternate interior angles are equal.
    • A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at distinct points.
    • Alternate interior angles are a pair of angles formed on opposite sides of the transversal and between the two parallel lines.
    • The measure of one alternate interior angle is equal to the measure of the other.

    Properties of Triangles and Lines

    • A line segment has only one midpoint.
    • Three non-collinear points form a triangle.
    • Parallel lines are two lines that never intersect (they are always the same distance apart).

    Triangle Congruence

    • SSS (Side-Side-Side): Two triangles are congruent if all three sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding three sides of the other triangle.
    • SAS (Side-Angle-Side): Two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two sides and the included angle of the other triangle.
    • ASA (Angle-Side-Angle): Two triangles are congruent if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and the included side of the other triangle.
