Pythagorean Theorem

StarStarStarStar

In a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. The theorem is written as c2=a2+b2c^2 = a^2 + b^2 where cc is the hypotenuse.

Similarity Theorems

StarStarStarStar

Two triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional. This can be identified through Angle-Angle (AA), Side-Side-Side (SSS), or Side-Angle-Side (SAS) criteria.

Law of Sines

StarStarStarStar

The Law of Sines states that in any triangle, the ratios of the length of a side to the sine of its opposite angle are equal. This can be written as asinA=bsinB=csinC\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}, where aa, bb, and cc are sides of the triangle and AA, BB, and CC are the opposite angles.

Triangle Inequality Theorem

StarStarStarStar

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. This can be written as a+b>ca + b > c, a+c>ba + c > b, and b+c>ab + c > a for a triangle with sides aa, bb, and cc.

Congruence Theorems

StarStarStarStar

Two triangles are congruent if they satisfy any one of the following conditions: Side-Side-Side (SSS), Side-Angle-Side (SAS), Angle-Side-Angle (ASA), or Angle-Angle-Side (AAS).

Exterior Angle Theorem

StarStarStarStar

For any triangle, the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles. This can be written as ext=A+B\text{ext} \angle = \angle A + \angle B for an exterior angle at vertex C with interior angles AA and BB.

Base Angles Theorem

StarStarStarStar

In an isosceles triangle, the base angles—that is, the angles opposite the two equal sides—are equal to each other.

Isosceles Triangle Theorem

StarStarStarStar

In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are themselves equal. Conversely, if two angles of a triangle are equal, then the sides opposite those angles are equal.
