ratio of volumes is a :b
3 3
Area Addition Postulate- area of a region is the sum of the areas of its non-
overlapping parts
Area Congruence Postulate- if 2 figures are ≅, then they have the same area
If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the two triangles
formed are similar to the original triangle and to each other. (Chp. 8, similar
triangles)
When the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the length of the
altitude is the geometric mean between the segments of the hypotenuse. (Chp. 8,
similar triangles)
When the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, each leg is the
geometric mean between the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse that is
adjacent to the leg (chp. 8, similar triangles)
If a line is tangent to a circle, then the line is perpendicular to the radius drawn the
point of tangency
If a line in the plane of a circle is ⊥ to a radius at its outer endpoint, then the line is
tangent to the circle
In the same circle or in congruent circles, 2 minor arcs are congruent if their central
angles are congruent
Arc Addition Postulate- the measure of the arc formed by 2 adjacent arcs is the sum
of the measures of these 2 arcs
In congruent or same circles, congruent arcs have congruent chords, and congruent
chords have congruent arcs
A diameter that is perpendicular to a chord bisects the chord and its arcs
In the same or congruent circles, chords equally distant from the center are
congruent, and congruent chords are equally distant from the center
The measure of an inscribed angle is equal to half the measure of its intercepted arc
The measure of an angle formed by a chord and a tangent is equal to half the
measure of the intercepted arc

If the scale factor of 2 similar triangle is a:b, then the ratio of the perimeters is a:b,
and the ratio of the areas is a2:b2
If 2 triangles have = heights, then the ratio of their areas equals the ratio of their
bases
If 2 triangles have = bases, then the ratio of their areas equals the ratio of their
heights
If 2 triangles are similar, then the ratio of their areas equals the square of their scale
factor
