Each int. angle (regular) =
n
Sum of ext. angles = 360

Each ext. angle (regular) =

Related Conditionals:
Converse: switch if and then
Inverse: negate if and then
Contrapositive: inverse of the converse
(contrapositive has the same truth value
as the original statement)
Pythagorean Theorem:
c2 = a 2 + b2
Converse: If the sides of a triangle
satisfy c 2 = a 2 + b 2 then the triangle is a
right triangle.

Exterior angle of a triangle equals the


sum of the 2 non-adjacent interior
angles.
Mid-segment of a triangle is parallel
to the third side and half the length of
the third side.
Similar Triangles:
AA
SSS for similarity
SAS for similarity
Corresponding sides of similar
triangles are in proportion.

CPCTC (use after the triangles are congruent)


Inequalities:
--Sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater
than the length of the third side.
--Longest side of a triangle is opposite the largest angle.
--Exterior angle of a triangle is greater than either of the
two non-adjacent interior angles.

Circles:
Equation of circle center at origin:
x 2 + y 2 = r 2 where r is the radius.
Equation of circle not at origin:
( x h) 2 + ( y k ) 2 = r 2 where (h,k) is the
center and r is the radius.
