Vocabulary

• Adjacent angles – angles that share a common vertex and side

• Vertical angles – a pair of non-overlapping angles that are opposite and congruent to each other when two lines intersect

• Complementary angles – two angles whose sum of angle measures equals 90 degrees

• Supplementary angles – two angles whose sum of angle measures equals 180 degrees

• Congruent angles – angles whose angle measurements are equal

continued . . .• Axes – the vertical and horizontal lines that act as a

reference when plotting points on a coordinate plane• Exterior angles of a triangle – angles that are outside

of a triangle between one side of a triangle and the extension of the adjacent side

• Interior angles of a triangle – angles that are inside of a triangle, formed by two sides of the triangle

• Transversal – a line that intersects two or more lines• Angle-angle criterion for triangles – if two angles in

one triangle are congruent to two angles in another triangle, then the measure of the third angle in both triangles are congruent

1 + 2 + 3 = 180°

Isosceles Triangles

2 congruent sides 2 congruent base angles

Isosceles Triangles & Angle Sum Theorem

E + W + H = 180o

W H

E + 2(W) = 180o

Base Angles are congruent.
