Triangle Midsegment Thrm.
If a segment joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle, then the segment is parallel to the third side and is half as long
Perpendicular Bisector Thrm.
If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the end points of the segment
Converse of Perpendicular Bisector Thrm.
If a point is equidistant from the end points of a segment, then it is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment
Angle Bisector Thrm.
If a point is on the bisector of an angle, then the point is equidistant form the sides of the angle
Converse of Angle Bisector Thrm.
If a point in the interior of an angle is equidistant from the sides of the angle, then the point is on the angle bisector
Concurrency of Perpendicular Bisectors Thrm.
The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent at a point equidistant from the vertices
Concurrency of Angle Bisectors Thrm.
The bisectors of the angles of a triangle are concurrent at a point equidistant from the sides of the triangle
Concurrency of Medians Thrm.
The medians of a triangle are concurrent at a point that is two-thirds the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side
Corollary to the Triangle Exterior Angle Thrm.
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the measure of each of its remote interior angles
Concurrency of Altitudes Thrm.
The lines that contain the altitudes of a triangle are concurrent
Thrm. 5-10
If two sides of a triangle are not congruent, then the larger angle lies opposite the longer side
Thrm. 5-11
If two angles of a triangle are not congruent, then the longer side lies opposite the larger angle
Triangle Inequality Thrm.
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side
*sum of the smallest > than biggest
The Hinge Thrm. (SAS Inequality Thrm.)
If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angles are not congruent, then the longer third side is opposite the larger included angle
Converse of Hinge Thrm.
If two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the third sides are not congruent, then the larger included angle is opposite the longer third side
Comparison Property of Inequality
If a = b+c and c>0, then a>b
Midsegment of a Triangle
