Card 1Exterior Angle Theorem

What is the theorem of remote interior angles of a triangle?

Answer

The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its remote interior angles. If ∠PRS is an exterior angle of triangle PQR, then ∠PRS = ∠PQR + ∠QPR.

Card 2Exterior Angle Property

How is an exterior angle related to its remote interior angles in terms of comparison?

Answer

An exterior angle of a triangle is greater than each of its remote interior angles. If ∠PRS is an exterior angle, then ∠PRS > ∠P and ∠PRS > ∠Q.

Card 3Congruence of Triangles

What are congruent triangles?

Answer

Two triangles are congruent if they have the same shape and size. When one triangle is placed on another, they fit exactly. Written as △ABC ≅ △PQR. All corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Card 4Congruence Tests

State the ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) test for congruence.

Answer

If two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, and the sides included by the respective pairs of angles are also equal, then the two triangles are congruent.

Card 5Congruence Tests

State the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) test for congruence.

Answer

If two sides of one triangle are equal to two sides of another triangle, and the angles included by the respective pairs of sides are also equal, then the two triangles are congruent.

Card 6Congruence Tests

State the SSS (Side-Side-Side) test for congruence.

Answer

If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Card 7Congruence Tests

What is the Hypotenuse-Side test for congruence?

Answer

In two right triangles, if the hypotenuses are equal and one pair of corresponding sides are equal, then the two triangles are congruent. This applies specifically to right triangles.

Card 8Isosceles Triangle

State the Isosceles Triangle Theorem.

Answer

If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite to them are congruent. In triangle ABC, if AB = AC, then ∠ABC = ∠ACB.
