Straight Angle
Two rays extend in exactly two opposite directions and share a common endpoint (the center)
Linear Pair
The two angles created if two angles share a vertex and together make a straight angle
Supplementary angles
The sum of two angles that equal 180 degrees
Complementary angles
Add up to 90 degrees
Altitude
is a line segment drawn from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side (or an extension of the opposite side).
Median
is a line segment drawn from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
Angle bisector
is a line segment or ray drawn from vertex that cuts the angle in half.
Perpendicular bisector of a side
is a line drawn perpendicular to a side of the triangle through its midpoint.
