Angle Addition Postulate (∠Add Post)If S is in the interior of ∠PQR, then m∠PQS + m∠SQR = m∠PQR.
Pythagorean TheoremIn a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.
Linear Pair Theorem (Lin. Pair Thm)If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary.
Congruent Supplements Theorem (≅ Supp. Thm)It two angles are supplementary to the same angle (or to two congruent angles), then the two angles are congruent.

Congruent Complements theorem (≅Comps. Thm)If two angles are complementary to the same angle (or two congruent angles), then the two angles are congruent.

Converse of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem (Conv of Alt. Ext ∡ Thm)If two coplanar lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the two lines are parallel.
Converse of the Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem. (Conv. Of Same-Side Int. ∡ Thm)If two coplanar lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of same-side interior angles are supplementary, then the two lines parallel. If two intersecting lines form a linear pair of congruent angles, then the lines are perpendicular
Perpendicular Transversal Theorem (⊥ Transv. Thm)In a plane, if a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other line.
Parallel Lines Theorem (ll lines thm)In a coordinate plane, two nonvertical lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope. Any two vertical lines are parallel.
Perpendicular Lines Theorem (⊥ Lines Thm)In a coordinate plane, two nonvertical lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is -1. Vertical and horizontal lines are perpendicular.
Triangle Sum Theorem (△ sum thm)The sum of the angle measures of a triangle is 180 degrees.The acute angles of a right triangle are complementaryThe measure of each angle of an equiangular triangle is 60 degrees..
Exterior Angle Theorem. (Ext. ∠ Thm)The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles.
Third Angles theorem (Third ∡ Thm)If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third pair of angles are congruent.
Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence PostulateIf three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent (SSS)
Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence PostulateIf two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence PostulateIf two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence TheoremIf two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles and nonincluded side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence TheoremIf the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Isosceles Triangle Theorem (Isosc. △ Thm)If two side of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite the sides are congruent.
Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem (Conv. Of Isosc. △ thm)If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruentIf a triangle is equilateral, then it is equiangular..
