Chapter 4!!! 4-1 Classify Triangles: First there is classifying triangles by angles There is the acute triangle Where all of the angles are acute (M<90)
There is the obtuse triangle where one angle is obtuse(M>90)
There is the right triangle where one angle is right(M=90)
* An acute triangle with all angles congruent is an Equiangular Triangle
Classifying Triangles: Then theres classifying triangles by sides.
There is a scalene triangle where no two sides are congruent.
There is a isosceles triangle where at least two sides are congruent.
There is a equilateral triangle where all of the sides of the triangle are equal.

Congruent Triangles: These are triangles that are the same size and shape
Definition of Congruent Triangles (CPCTC): Two triangles are congruent if and only if their corresponding parts are congruent. Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent
Properties of Triangle Congruence: Congruence of triangles is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive .
JKL =

JKL
Symmetric
Transitive
If tri. JKL= Tri. PQR,
If tri. JKL = tri. PQR, And tri PQR
then tri. PQR = tri. JKL
= tri. XYZ, then tri. JKL= tri XYZ

ABD with right BAD Q is the midpt. Of BD
Prove: AP = 1/2BD Proof: By the midpt. Formula, the coordinates of Q are (0+2d/2, 2b+0/2) or (D, B). Use the distance formula to find AP and BD. AP=
(d-0)^2 + (b-0)^2 = d^2+b^2
Therefore, AP = 1/2BC
BC= (2d-0)^2 + (0-2b)^2 BC= 4d^2 + 4b^2 or 2 1/2 BC= c^2 + b^2
