Front Back
Ruler Postulate
Points on a line can be matched w/ real #, distance btween pts A & B is abs. value of diff btween coordinates of A & B
Segment Addition Postulate
Allows you to add two two smaller segements to get a bigger one
Angle Addition Postulate
Allows you to add to smaller angles 2 get a bigger one
LInear Pair Postulate
If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary
Parallel Postulate
If there's a line & a point no on the line, then there's exactly one line parallel toda given line through that point
Perpendicular Postulate
Its just like Parallel Postulate only thing is that all parallels change to perpendicular
Corresponding Angle Postulate
If 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent
Corresponding Angles Converse
If 2 lines are cut by a tranversal so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel
Right Angle Congruence Thrm
All right angles are congruent
Congruent Supplements Thrm
If 2 angles are supplementary to same angle (or to congruent angles) then the 2 angles are congruent
Congruent Complements Thrm
If 2 angles are complementary to the same angle (or to congruent angles) then the 2 angles are congruent
Vertical Angles Thrm
Vertical angles are congruent
Alternate Interior Angles Thrm
If 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent
Consecutive Interior Angles Thrm
If 2 parallel llines are cut by a transversal, then the paris of consecutive interior angles are supplementary
Alternate Exterior Angles Thrm
If 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate exterior angles are congruent
