CPCTC: Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
Introduction to circles:
Point P is the center of the circle shown. By definition, every point of a
circle is the same distance from the center. The center, however, is not an
element of the circle; the circle consists only of the "rim". A circle is named
by its center: this circle is called circle P. Points A, B, and C lie on circle P.

Theorem 20: If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the
angles opposite the sides are congruent.
Theorem 21: If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the
sides opposite the angles are congruent.
Theorem: If two sides of a triangle are not congruent, then the
angles opposite them are not congruent, and the larger angle is
opposite the longer side.
Theorem: If two angles of a triangle are not congruent, then
the sides opposite them are not congruent, and the longer side
is opposite the larger angle.
Ways to prove that a triangle is isosceles.
1. If at least two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the
triangle is isosceles. (by definition of isosceles triangle)
2. If at least two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the
triangle is isosceles. (base angles are congruent)
