Parallel Lines and
Transversals:

300-600-900

The interior angles of a triangle add up to 1800.

The length of one side of a triangle has to be less than the
sum and more than the difference of the lengths of the
other two sides.

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the
two remote interior angles.

Equilateral All three sides are congruent, and each angle
measures 600.

Isosceles Two sides are equal, and the two base angles
are congruent.

Scalene All three sides are different lengths, and all three
angles are non-congruent.

Two or more triangles are similar if their corresponding
side lengths are proportional and their angle measures are
congruent.

When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, special angle
pairs are formed.

Corresponding Angles are congruent: !1 " !5 , !2 " !6 ,
!3 " !7 and !4 " !8

Consecutive-Interior Angles are supplementary:
m!4 + m!5 = 180 0 and m!3+ m!6 = 180 0

Consecutive-Exterior Angles are supplementary:
m!2 + m!7 = 180 0 and m!1+ m!8 = 180 0
