2. 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°.

3. Transversal (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   If the two angles of one pair are congruent (equal in measure), then the angles of each of the other pairs are also congruent. Proposition 1.27 of Euclid's Elements , a theorem of absolute geometry (hence valid in both hyperbolic and Euclidean Geometry ), proves that if the angles of a pair of alternate angles of a transversal are congruent ...

4. Triangle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle

   All pairs of congruent triangles are also similar, but not all pairs of similar triangles are congruent. Given two congruent triangles, all pairs of corresponding interior angles are equal in measure, and all pairs of corresponding sides have the same length. This is a total of six equalities, but three are often sufficient to prove congruence ...

5. Rhombus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombus

   Every rhombus has two diagonals connecting pairs of opposite vertices, and two pairs of parallel sides. Using congruent triangles, one can prove that the rhombus is symmetric across each of these diagonals. It follows that any rhombus has the following properties: Opposite angles of a rhombus have equal measure.

6. Corresponding sides and corresponding angles - Wikipedia

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

   In geometry, the tests for congruence and similarity involve comparing corresponding sides and corresponding angles of polygons. In these tests, each side and each angle in one polygon is paired with a side or angle in the second polygon, taking care to preserve the order of adjacency. [1] For example, if one polygon has sequential sides a, b ...

7. Parallelogram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram

   In Euclidean geometry, a parallelogram is a simple (non- self-intersecting) quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite or facing sides of a parallelogram are of equal length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure. The congruence of opposite sides and opposite angles is a direct consequence of the ...

8. Kite (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   A kite, showing its pairs of equal-length sides and its inscribed circle. In Euclidean geometry, a kite is a quadrilateral with reflection symmetry across a diagonal. Because of this symmetry, a kite has two equal angles and two pairs of adjacent equal-length sides. Kites are also known as deltoids, [1] but the word deltoid may also refer to a ...

9. AA postulate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AA_postulate

   AA postulate. In Euclidean geometry, the AA postulate states that two triangles are similar if they have two corresponding angles congruent. The AA postulate follows from the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°. By knowing two angles, such as 32° and 64° degrees, we know that the next angle is 84 ...
