Congruence of Segments is . . .
Reflexive
 segments
Symmetric
 segments
Transitive
 segments
A segment is congruent to itself.
AB  AB
You can switch the left and right sides
If AB  CD then CD  AB.
If AB  CD and CD  EF, then
AB  EF.
Congruence of Angles is . . .
Reflexive
 angles
An angle is congruent to itself.
A  A
You can switch the left and right sides
Symmetric
 angles
If A  B then B  A.
Transitive
 angles
If A  B and B  C, then
A  C.
Supplement Theorem
 If


two angles form a linear pair,

then they are supplementary
supplementary.
What are we given?
 Look in the hypothesis of the conditional
statement and draw it.
Now what can we conclude?
 Look in the conclusion of the conditional
statement
 1 and 2 are supplementary.
How does this work in problems?
If 1 and 2 form a linear
pair and m2 = 67, find
m1.

Vertical Angles

We’ve done this before.
 Draw two vertical angles

If two angles are vertical angles then they
are congruent.

Complement theorem
If the noncommon sides of two adjacent angles
form a right angle, then the angles are
complementary angles.

Angles complementary to the same angle
or to two congruent angles are congruent.

Perpendicular lines intersect to form four
right angles.
 All right angles are congruent.
 Perpendicular lines form congruent
adjacent angles.
 If two angles are congruent and
supplementary, then each angle is a right
angle.
 If two congruent angles form a linear pair,
then they are right angles.
