Theorems,Postulates,and Other Things Involved In Proofs
(WARNING,THIS PAGE MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS)This page includes all the different postulates,theorems,and other things involved in proofs that I have learned in my honors math class at high school.Just so you know all you math nerds out there,I will update this page according to the new stuff that I have learned in school so new stuff will be add every week hopefully until school ends. NOTE:By the way,some of the stuff have no name and some of them,you may have not learned yet or understand.Here they are:

-Complementary Angles Theorem-If two angles are complement to the same angle,then the angles are equal in measure.

-Supplementary Angles Theorem-If two angles are supplement to the same angle,then the angles are equal in measure.

-Definition Of Vertical Angles-Angles sharing a common vertex that faces away from each other.

-Straight Angles Postulate-If the sides of an angle form a straight line,then the angle is a straight angle with a measure of 180°

-Whole And Parts Postulate-For any segment or angle,the measure of the whole is equal to the sum of the measures of its non-overlapping parts.

-Vertical Angles Theorem-Vertical angles are equal in measure.

-Parallel Lines Postulate-If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,then corresponding angles are equal in measure.

-Alternate Interior Angles' Theorem-If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,then alternate interior angles are equal in measure.

-Co-Interior Angles' Theorem-If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,then co-interior angles are supplementary.

-Definition Of Converse-The opposite of a theorem,postulate,etc.

-Converse Of Parallel Lines Postulate-If two lines are cut by a transversal and if corresponding angles are equal in measure,then the lines are parallel.

-Converse Of Alternate Interior Angles' Theorem-If two lines are cut by a transversal and if alternate interior angles are equal in measure,then the lines are parallel.

-Converse Of Co-Interior Angles' Theorem-If two lines are cut by a transversal and if co-interior angles are supplementary,then the lines are parallel.

-Parallelogram Consecutive Angles' Theorem-If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram,then consecutive angles' are supplementary

-Parallelogram Opposite Angles' Theorem-If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram,then the opposite angles' are equal in measure.

-NO NAME-If two lines are perpendicular to the same transversal,then the lines are parallel.

-NO NAME-If a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines,then it is also perpendicular to the other.

-Unique Parallel Lines Postulate-Through a point not on a given line,there exists one and only one line parallel to the given line.

-Triangle Sum Theorem-The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°

-Quadrilateral Sum Theorem-The sum of the measures of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°

-Definition Of Parallelogram-A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.

-Similar Polygons-Polygons whose corresponding angles are equal in measure and corresponding sides are in proportion.

-Triangle Similarity Postulate-If two angles of one triangle are equal in measure to two angles of another triangle,then the triangles are similar by angle angle similarity.(AA Similarity)

-Overlapping Similar Triangles Theorem-If a line is drawn from a point on one side of a triangle parallel to another side,then it forms a triangle similar to the original.

-Congruent Polygons-Similar polygons whose corresponding sides are in ratio 1:1.

-CPCTC-Corresponding Parts Of Congruent Triangles Are Congruent.

-NO NAME-If two sides and an included angle of one triangle are equal in measure to the corresponding sides and an angle of another triangle,then the triangles are congruent by side,angle,side.(SAS)

-NO NAME-If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal in measure to the corresponding angles of another triangle,then the triangles are congruent by angle,side,angle(ASA).

-NO NAME-If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal in measure to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle,then the triangles are congruent by angle,angle,side(AAS).

-NO NAME-If three sides of one triangle are equal in measure to the corresponding sides and angle of another triangle,then the triangles are congruent by side,side,side(SSS).

-Definition Of An Segment Bisector-A ray,line,or segment that divides a segment into two parts of equal measure.

-Definition Of An Isosceles Triangle-A triangle with two congruent sides.

-NO NAME-If two sides of a triangle are equal in measure,then the angles opposite those sides are equal in measure.

-NO NAME-If two angles of a triangle are equal in measure,then the sides opposite those angles are equal in measure.

-Definition Of An Equilateral Triangle-A triangle with three congruent sides.

-NO NAME-If a triangle is an equilateral,then it is also equiangular with 3 60° angles.

-NO NAME-If a triangle is equiangular,theen it is also equilateral.

-Definition Of Perpendicular Bisector-A line,ray, or segment that is perpendicular to the segment it bisects.

-NO NAME-If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment,then it lies on the perpendicular bisector of the segment.

-Definition Of Altitude In A Triangle-A segment drawn from the vertex,perpendicular to the opposite side;length of the altitude is considered the height of a triangle when the length of the oppisite side is considered the base.

-NO NAME-If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle,then the two triangles formed are similar to each other and the original.

-Definition Of Hypotenuse-Longest side of a right triangle;the side opposite the right angle.

-Defintion Of Geometric Mean-The square root of the product of two numbers.

-NO NAME-If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle,then the measure of the altitude is the geometric mean between the lengths of the parts of the hypotenuse.

-Pythagorean Theorem-In a right triangle,the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs.

-Height Of An Altitude-In an altitude,the height is equal to the geometric mean of the parts of the hypotenuse.

-Definition Of Trigonometry-The measurement of triangles.

The following is a small group of stuff used in trigonometry so I'll put the together.Here they are:

-Basic Trigonemetric Functions 1(SINE) (SIN)-SINE=SIN of Theta=The opposite angle of the triangle ove the hypotenuse of a triangle.
