  2. Corresponding sides and corresponding angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corresponding_sides_and...

    The orange and green quadrilaterals are congruent; the blue one is not congruent to them. Congruence between the orange and green ones is established in that side BC corresponds to (in this case of congruence, equals in length) JK, CD corresponds to KL, DA corresponds to LI, and AB corresponds to IJ, while angle ∠C corresponds to (equals) angle ∠K, ∠D corresponds to ∠L, ∠A ...

  3. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_(geometry)

    Any two pairs of angles are congruent, [4] which in Euclidean geometry implies that all three angles are congruent: [a] If ∠BAC is equal in measure to ∠B'A'C', and ∠ABC is equal in measure to ∠A'B'C', then this implies that ∠ACB is equal in measure to ∠A'C'B' and the triangles are similar. All the corresponding sides are ...

  4. Congruence (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruence_(geometry)

    AAS (angle-angle-side): If two pairs of angles of two triangles are equal in measurement, and a pair of corresponding non-included sides are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent. AAS is equivalent to an ASA condition, by the fact that if any two angles are given, so is the third angle, since their sum should be 180°.

  5. Mollweide's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mollweide's_formula

    In trigonometry, Mollweide's formula is a pair of relationships between sides and angles in a triangle. [1] [2]A variant in more geometrical style was first published by Isaac Newton in 1707 and then by Friedrich Wilhelm von Oppel [] in 1746.

  6. Transversal (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversal_(geometry)

    With parallel lines, they are congruent. Alternate angles are the four pairs of angles that: have distinct vertex points, lie on opposite sides of the transversal and; both angles are interior or both angles are exterior. If the two angles of one pair are congruent (equal in measure), then the angles of each of the other pairs are also congruent.

  7. Hinge theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinge_theorem

    In geometry, the hinge theorem (sometimes called the open mouth theorem) states that if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle. [1]

  8. Hilbert's axioms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_axioms

    Let an angle ∠ (h,k) be given in the plane α and let a line a′ be given in a plane α′. Suppose also that, in the plane α ′, a definite side of the straight line a ′ be assigned. Denote by h ′ a ray of the straight line a ′ emanating from a point O ′ of this line.

  9. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    Angle trisection is the construction, using only a straightedge and a compass, of an angle that is one-third of a given arbitrary angle. This is impossible in the general case. For example, the angle 2 π /5 radians (72° = 360°/5) can be trisected, but the angle of π /3 radians (60°) cannot be trisected. [8]
