  • SSS postulate 

    Side-side-side
  • SAS postulate 

    Angle between 2 sides
  • ASA postulate 

    Side in between 2 angles
  • AAS postulate 

    Angle-angle-side
  • Triangle inequality theorem

    The sum of lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the remaining side.
  • Transversal
    A line that crosses parallel lines to create pairs of congruent and supplementary angles
  • Congruent
    Having the same measurement
  • Supplementary
    Angles that add up to 180°
  • Corresponding
    Angles that lie on the same side of the transversal and on the same side of the parallel lines. These angles are in the same "corner" and are congruent
  • Alternate interior 

    Angles on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two parallel lines. These angles are congruent.
  • Alternate exterior
    Angles on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines. These angles are congruent
  • Same-side interior
    Angles on the same side of the transversal and inside the parallel lines. These angles are supplementary.
  • Same-side exterior 

    Angles on the same side of the transversal and outside the parallel lines. These angles are supplementary
  • Vertical
    Angles that are across from each other and are formed by any intersecting lines (not just parallel lines and transversals) these angles are congruent
  • Hinge theorem
    if two sides of two triangles are congruent and the included angle is different, then the angle that is larger is opposite the longer side.
