Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines. They are equal when the lines are parallel.

How do you find the missing angle in a triangle if two angles are known?

Back

Subtract the sum of the known angles from 180 degrees to find the missing angle.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that 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 other two sides (a² + b² = c²).
