Definitions
Congruent - also equal in measure
Angle Bisector - divides into two ≅ angle
Segment bisector - line, segment or ray that divides a segment at the midpoint
Midpoint – a point that divides a line segment into two ≅ segments
Supplementary angles - two angles that add up to 180˚
Complementary Angles - two angles that add up to 90˚
Linear Pair – pair of angles that are adjacent and supplementary
Right Angle – Angle measures exactly 90˚
Perpendicular - intersects at a right angle, creates a right angle
Vertical Angles - if vertical angles, then they are congruent
Postulates (assumed true without proof)
Segment Addition Postulate – If B is between AC on a line segment, then AB + BC = AC
Angle Addition Postulate – If T is in the interior of ∠ABC, then m∠ABT + m∠TBC = m∠ABC
Right Angle Congruence – all right angles are congruent
Theorems (statements that have been proven)
Congruent Complements Theorem - two angles complementary to the same angle or congruent angles are congruent
Congruent Supplements Theorem - two angles supplementary to the same angle or congruent angles are congruent
