Term
If B is between A and C, then AB+BC=AC.
Definition
Segment Addition Postulate
Term
If two segments are congruent, then their lengths are equal.
Definition
Congruent segments -> equal lengths
Term
If a point is the midpoint of a segment, then it divides the segment into two congruent segments.
Definition
Midpoint -> 2 congruent segments
Term
If a line, segment, ray, or plane is a segment bisector, then it intersects the segment at its midpoint.
Definition
Segment bisector -> intersect at midpoint
Term

If B lies in the interior of angle AOC, then the measure of angle AOB+measure of angle BOC=the measure of angle AOC

If angle AOC is a straight angle and B is any point not on line AC, then the measure of angle AOB+the measure of angle BOC=180. 

Definition
Term
If two angles are congruent, then their measures are equal.
Definition
equal measures -> congruent angles
Term
Definition of Adjacent Angles
Definition
DO NOT WRITE IN PROOF
Term
If an angle is a right angle, then its measure is 90.
Definition
Right angle -> 90
Term
If a ray is an angle bisector, then it divides the angle into two congruent adjacent angles.
Definition
angle bisector -> 2 congruent adjacent angles
Term
if M is the midpoint of segment AB, then AM=0.5AB and MB=0.5AB
Definition
Midpoint Theorem
Term
If ray BX is the bisector of angle ABC, then the measure of angle ABX=1/2 the measure of angle ABC and the measure of angle XBC= 1/2 the measure of angle ABC
Definition
Angle Bisector Theorem
Term
if two angles are complementary, then the sum of their measures is 90.
Definition
complimentary angles -> sum of 90
Term
If two angles are supplementary, then the sum of their measures is 180.
Definition
supplementary angles -> sum of 180
Term
Definition of Vertical Angles
Definition
DO NOT WRITE IN PROOF
Term
Vertical angles are congruent.
Definition
Vertical angles are congruent.
Term
If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect to form right angles
Definition
Perpendicular lines -> right angles
Term
All right angles are congruent.
Definition
All right angles are congruent.
Term
If two lines are perpendicular, then they form congruent adjacent angles.
Definition
Perpendicular lines -> congruent adjacent angles
Term
If the exterior sides of two adjacent acute angles are perpendicular, then the angles are complementary.
Definition
exterior sides of adjacent angles are perpendicular -> complementary angles
Term
if two angles are supplements of the same angle or congruent angles, then the two angles are congruent.
Definition

2 angles supplement same angle -> congruent angle

2 angles supplement congruent angles -> congruent angle

 

 

Term
If two angles are complements of the same angle or congruent angles, then the two angles are congruent.
Definition

2 angles complement same angle -> congruent angles

2 angles complement congruent angles -> congruent angles
