Theorems, Postulates, Definitions and Properties
5.1
Theorem - 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.
5.2
Theorem – If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is
equidistant from the endpoints of the segments.
Theorem – If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, then it is on
the perpendicular bisector of the segment.
Theorem – If a point is on the bisector of an angle, then the point is equidistant
from the sides of the angle.
Theorem – 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.
5.3
Theorem – The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent at a
point equidistant from the vertices.
Theorem – The bisectors of the angles of a triangle are concurrent at a point
equidistant from the sides of the triangle.
A point is the circumcenter of a triangle if and only if it is the point of
concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle.
A point is the incenter of a triangle if and only if it is the point of concurrency of
the angle bisectors of the triangle.
5.4
A segment is a median of a triangle if and only if it is drawn from the vertex of a
triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.
Theorem – 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.
A point is the centroid of a triangle if and only if it is the point of concurrency of
the medians of the triangle.
A segment is an altitude of a triangle if and only if it is the perpendicular segment
from the vertex of a triangle to the line containing the opposite side.
Theorem – The lines that contain the altitudes of a triangle are concurrent.
A point is the orthocenter of a triangle if and only if it is the point of concurrency
of the altitudes of the triangle.
5.6
Property – If a = b and c > 0, then a > b.
Theorem – The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the
measure of each of its remote interior angles.
Theorem – If two sides of a triangle are not congruent, then the larger angle lies
opposite the larger side.
Theorem – If two angles of triangle are not congruent, then the longer side lies
opposite the larger angle.
Theorem – The sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the
length of the third side.
5.7
Theorem – (SAS Inequality) - 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.
Theorem – (SSS Inequality) - 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.
