Golden Sheet For Proofs With Triangle Theorems

The document lists properties, postulates, theorems, parallel line theorems, definitions, triangle postulates, and triangle theorems that are important foundations for proofs in geometry. It includes properties like the addition and multiplication properties of equality. Postulates include the angle addition and segment addition postulates. Theorems include that vertical angles and angles in a linear pair are congruent. Triangle postulates for congruence include SAS, AAS, SSS, and ASA. Key triangle theorems are the triangle sum theorem, exterior angle theorem, and third angle theorem.

Golden Sheet of “Reasons” for Proofs

Properties: Postulates:
- Addition Property of Equality Angle addition postulate
- Subtraction Property of Equality Segment addition postulate
- Multiplication Property of Equality
- Division Property of Equality
- Distributive Property
- Substitution
- Transitive Property
- Reflexive Property

Theorems:
- Vertical angles are congruent
- Linear Pair are supplementary
- Perpendicular lines form congruent right angles
- All right angles are congruent
- Angles with the same supplement are congruent
- Angles with the same complement are congruent

- Two lines perpendicular to the same line are parallel


- Two lines parallel to a third line are parallel to each other

Parallel Line Theorems: Converse:

- If // → Alternate Interior Angles congruent If Alt. Interior <’s congruent → //

- If // → Corresponding Angles congruent If Corr. <’s congruent → //

- If // → Alternate Exterior Angles congruent If Alt. Exterior <’s congruent → //

- If // → Consec-Interior Angles supplementary If Co-Int. <’s supplementary → //

- If // → Consec-Exterior Angles supplementary If Co-Ext. <’s supplementary → //

Definitions:
- Definition of bisect
- Definition of midpoint
- Definition of perpendicular
- Definition of right angles
- Definition of supplementary
- Definition of linear pair
Triangle Postulates:
-SAS Congruence Postulate
-AAS Congruence Postulate
-SSS Congruence Postulate
-ASA Congruence Postulate
- HL Congruence Postulate

*Be sure to add “Congruence Postulate” after the acronym, since later we’ll be applying some
of these to prove similarity instead of congruence!

Triangle Theorems:
- Third Angle Theorem
- Triangle Sum Theorem
- Exterior Angle Theorem
- Acute angles of a right triangle are complementary (Corollary to triangle sum theorem)
- Triangle Sum Theorem (the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees)
- Exterior Angle Theorem- (the measure of any exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the
sum of the two remote interior angles.
- -Third Angle Theorem (if 2 angles of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles of another
- triangle, the third angle must be congruent
