Congruence of two Triangles
- Two sides and the included angle equal
- Three sides equal
- Two angles and the included side equal
- (Right triangle only!) Hypotenuse and one angle equal
- (Right triangle only!) Hypotenuse and one side equal
Isosceles Triangle
- Two sides are equal
- Two base angles are equal
- The bisector of the vertex angle also bisects the base perpendicularly
Equilateral Triangle
- All sides equal
- All angles are 60 degrees
- The bisector of the vertex angle also bisects the base perpendicularly
Right Triangle
- A circle whose diameter is the hypotenuse the vertex of the right angle is on the circumference
- The center of the circle is the midpoint of the hypotenuse
- When you connect the right angle to the midpoint of the hypotenuse it's lenth is 1/2 of the hypotenuse
Parallelogram
- Opposite sides are parallel and equal
- Angles across from each other are equal
- Angles on the same side add up to 180 degrees
- The diagonals intersect at the midpoint of each
Rectangle
- (All parallelogram properties also true)
- All four angles are equal
- The diagonals are equal in length
- All angles are right angles
Rhombus
- (All parallelogram properties also true)
- All sides are equal in length
- The diagonals intersect perpendicularly
Square
- (All parallelogram, rectangle, and rhombus properties also true)
- All sides equal
- All angles are equal
- All angles are right angles
- The diagonals are equal in length and intersect perpendicularly
Dilation
- A figure with all equal angles and has sides twice as long is called a twice enlarged figure
- A figure with all equal angles and has sides half as long is called a half reduced figure
- The two figure change size but not shape
Ratio
- To find the value of a ratio divde the first number by the last number
- The proportion of a to b is ratio a:b
- When both numbers in a ratio can be multiplied or divded by the same number they are equal
- If the value of a ratio is equal the ratios are equal
