Geometry Notes ? Chapter 4: Congruent Triangles
4.1 ? Triangle Angle Sums
Classifying Triangles by Sides
Scalene ? No congruent sides Isosceles ? At least 2 congruent sides Equilateral ? 3 congruent sides
Classifying Triangles by Angles
Acute ? 3 acute angles Right ? 1 right angle Obtuse ? 1 obtuse angle Equiangular ? 3 congruent angles
Theorem 4.1 ? Triangle Sum Theorem The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180?.
Theorem 4.2 ? Exterior Angle Theorem The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two nonadjacent angles.
4.2 ? Congruence and Triangles
Congruent Triangles If two triangles are congruent, then all of the parts of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of the other triangle. This means that the corresponding sides and the corresponding angles are congruent.
For example, if +ABC +DEF , then
AB DE BC EF AC DF
A D B E C F
Theorem 4.3 ? Third Angles Theorem If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are also congruent.
Triangle Sum Corollary The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary.
4.3 ? Triangle Congruency by SSS
Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

4.4 ? Triangle Congruency by SAS & HL
Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and a non-included side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of a second right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
4.5 ? Triangle Congruency - ASA & AAS Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
4.6 ? Congruent Triangles and CPCTC
CPCTC Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent. If two triangles are congruent, any pair of corresponding sides or angles must be congruent.
4.7 ? Isosceles & Equilateral Triangles
Theorem 4.7 ? Base Angles Theorem If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent.
Theorem 4.8 ? Base Angles Converse If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are congruent.
Chapter 4 Notes: Congruent Triangles
Corollary to the Base Angles Theorem If a triangle is equilateral, then it is also equiangular.
Corollary to the Base Angles Converse If a triangle is equiangular, then it is also equilateral.
