If two lines are parallel and they are intersected by a transversal, then the corresponding (or alt. interior or alt. exterior) angles are congruent... Then... We can also say that if the corresponding (or alt. interior or alt. exterior) angles created by a transversal intersecting two lines are congruent, then the lines must be parallel.

Proofs Axiom: A statement that is not proven but is considered to be obvious, so it is accepted as true. Conjecture: A statement that has yet to be proven. Theorem: A statement that has been proven. A proof involves taking given information that is accepted to be true (called a hypothesis) and, using knowledge and previously proved theorems, working logically to a conclusion. This process is known as deductive reasoning. All it takes to disprove a conjecture is one counter-example. 11
Example: Given triangle ABC,where. Prove that. 4 Hypothesis 1 A Conclusion 3 C 2 B Statement Justification 12
Congruent Triangles Two triangles are congruent when all three corresponding sides and all three corresponding angles have the same measurements. A D E B C F To prove that two triangles are congruent, it is not necessary to show all six conditions. (Note: Isometric and congruent mean the same thing.) 13
There are minimum conditions for showing that triangles are congruent. These are known as Theorems of Congruence. Q R T V P U 1) If the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three corresponding sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Similar Triangles Two figures are similar when... All corresponding angles are congruent. All corresponding sides are proportional. Therefore, similar figures have the same shape, but are not necessarily the same size. 22
There are also minimum conditions to prove that two triangles are similar. 1) Side Side Side (SSS) If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional in length, then the triangles are similar. 2) Angle Angle (AA) If two corresponding angles of two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. 3) Side Angle Side (SAS) If two triangles have one congruent angle contained between corresponding sides of proportional length, then the triangles are similar. 23

Proportions means extremes When we refer to a "proportional mean", the means in the proportion are equal. 35
Altitude to the Hypotenuse Theorem The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the proportional mean between the segments into which it divides the hypotenuse. The altitude ( h )divides the hypotenuse into 2 parts: m and n. So... part 1 of hypotenuse altitude = altitude part 2 of hypotenuse or (part 1 of hypotenuse) (part 2 of hypotenuse) in symbols: or 36
