Transitive Property of Equality

StarStarStarStar

If a = b and b = c, then a = c. This property is used in proofs to relate elements that are equal to a common element.

StarStarStarStar

Symmetric Property of Equality

StarStarStarStar

If a = b, then b = a. This property is used in proofs to reverse the order of equality between two elements.

StarStarStarStar

Segment Addition Postulate

StarStarStarStar

If B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC. Used to relate lengths of segments that are part of a larger segment.

StarStarStarStar

Angle Addition Postulate

StarStarStarStar

The angle addition postulate states that if point B lies in the interior of \( \angle AOC \), then \( \angle AOB + \angle BOC = \angle AOC \). It enables the calculation of the degree of a larger angle from its smaller parts.

StarStarStarStar

Parallel Postulate

StarStarStarStar

Given a line and a point not on the line, there is exactly one line through the point parallel to the given line. This is one of Euclid's original axioms for geometry.

StarStarStarStar

Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

StarStarStarStar

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of alternate interior angles are congruent. This theorem is used to analyze parallel lines and the angles within.

StarStarStarStar

Corresponding Angles Postulate

StarStarStarStar

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of corresponding angles are equal. This postulate is vital in establishing angle relationships in geometry.

StarStarStarStar

Vertical Angles Theorem

StarStarStarStar

The vertical angles theorem states that vertical angles, formed by two intersecting lines, are congruent.

StarStarStarStar

Reflexive Property of Equality

StarStarStarStar

For any quantity a, a = a. This is used in proofs to justify that any geometric figure is congruent to itself or any quantity is equal to itself.

StarStarStarStar

Pythagorean Theorem

StarStarStarStar

In a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b):

c2=a2+b2c^2 = a^2 + b^2
. This theorem is fundamental in relating side lengths of right-angled triangles.
