Postulates & Axious

- Are statements the validity or truth of which are assumed without proof.

Theorems

- A logical argument or proof is produced showing that a general statement is true.

Alternate Interior Angles

- A pair of non-adjustment interior angles that are on opposite sides of a transversal.

Diagonal

- A line segment joining two nonconsecutive vertices of polygon.

Leg

- In a right triangle, a side opposite acute angles is a leg.

Linear Pair

- Two adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays.

Midpoint

- The point that divides a segment into two congruent segments.

Parallel Lines

- Coplanar lines that do not intersect.

Perpendicular Lines

- Two lines that intersect to form a right angle.

Proof

- A method of constructing a valid argument.

Right Angle

- An angle whose measure is 90°.

Supplementary Angles

- Two angles whose measures have the sum 180°

Transversal
- A line that intersect two or more coplanar lines at two or more distinct points.

-Theorem -

- All right angles are congruent.

-Postulate-

ANGLE ADDITION POSTULATE

- If point B lines in the interior of <AOC, then m<AOB + m<BOC = m<AOC

-Postulate-

LINEAR PAIR POSTULATE

- If two angles from a linear pair, then they are supplementary.

-Theorem-

- if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the interior angles on the same side
of the transversal are supplementary.

-Theorem-

LL CONGRUENCE THEOREM

- If the legs of one right triangle are congruent to the legs of another right triangle,
then the triangles are congruent.

-Remember-

Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.(CPCTC)

-Postulate-

SAS CONGRUENCE POSTULATE

If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent respectively to two sides and
the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

-Postulate-

ASA CONGRUENCE POSTULATE

If three sides of a triangle are congruent respectively to three sides of another triangle, then the
two triangles are congruent.

-Theorem-
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.

-Theorem-

Two adjacent angles of a parallemlogram are supplementary.

-Theorem-

Each diagonal of a parallelogram divides the parallelogram into two congruent triangles.

-Theorem-

Each diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

-Theorem-

In a rectangle, the diagonals are congruent.

-Theorem-

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect the angles of a rhombus.

-Theorem-

In a rhombus, the diagonals are perpendicular to each other.

-Theorem-

A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if it’s opposite sides is congruent.
