Overview
Triangles are fundamental geometric shapes that form the building blocks of many complex geometric concepts. This chapter explores the properties, theorems, and relationships within triangles, including congruence, similarity, and special angle properties. Understanding these concepts is crucial for
Key Concepts
The measure of an exterior angle
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of its two remote interior angles. If ∠PRS is an exterior angle, then ∠PRS = ∠PQR + ∠QPR
Two triangles are congruent if they
Two triangles are congruent if they fit exactly when placed on top of each other. Four tests determine congruence: ASA (Angle-Side-Angle), SAS (Side-A
In an isosceles triangle
In an isosceles triangle, if two sides are equal, then the angles opposite to them are equal. Conversely, if two angles are equal, then the sides oppo
30°
30°-60°-90° triangle: The side opposite 30° is half the hypotenuse, and the side opposite 60° is (√3/2) times the hypotenuse. 45°-45°-90° triangle: Ea
A median connects a vertex
A median connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The three medians of a triangle meet at the centroid, which divides each median in a
