triangle sum theorem

the triangle sum theorem states that the sum of the measures of the intirior angles of a triangle is 180^o

exterior angle of a polygon

an exterior angle of a polygon is a polygon is a angle between a side of a polygon and the extension of its adjacent side

remote interior angles of a triangle

the remote interior angles of a triangle are the two angles that are non-adjacent to the specified exterior angle

exterior angle theorem

the exterior angle theorem states that the measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles of the triangle

transversal

a transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at distinct points

alternate interior angles

alternate interior angles are angles formed when a transversal intersects two other lines. these angle pairs are on opposite sides of the transversal and are between the other two lines

alternate exterior angles

alternate exterior angles are angles formed when a transversal intersects two

same-side interior angles

same side interior angles are formed when a transversal intersects two other lines. these angle pairs are on the same side of the transversal and are between the other two lines

same-side exterior angles

same side interior angles are formed when a transversal intersects two other lines. these angle pairs are on the same side of the transversal and are outside the other two lines

angle-angle similarity theorem

the angle-angle similarity theorem states that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles of another triangle, then the triangle are similar

parallel lines

Two lines that are always the same distance apart and never touch

vertical angles

Angles that are opposite of each other and are made by two intersecting lines.

supplementary angles

Two angles that have a sum of 180 degrees

corresponding angles

corresponding angles are angles that have the same relative positions in geometric figures

complementary angles

Two angles that have a sum of 90 degrees

adjacent angle

Two angles that have a common side and vertex, they are next two each other.
