Looking for some terminology used with right triangles? Then this tutorial was made for you! In this tutorial, you'll be introduced to the names for the different parts of a right triangle. Check it out!
The distributive property is a very deep math principle that helps make math work. It's the rule that lets you expand parentheses, and so it's really critical to understand if you want to get good at simplifying expressions. So check out the tutorial and let us know what you think!
See the Law of Detachment in action! This tutorial shows you an example that uses the Law of Detachment to make a conclusion.
If you have related conditional statements, the Law of Syllogism can help you link those conditional statements into one conditional statement. In this tutorial, you'll see how to combine related conditional statements using the Law of Syllogism.
When proving two triangles are congruent, you use information and postulates you already know to create a logical trail from what you know to what you want to show. This tutorial shows an example of using a congruence postulate to show two triangles are congruent!
If you're given information about two triangles and asked to prove parts of the triangles are congruent, see if you can show the two triangles are congruent. If they are, then you know that the corresponding parts are congruent! Follow along with this tutorial to see an example.
Proofs are an important part of geometry. This tutorial shows you how to use given information to prove that two overlapping triangles are congruent!
It might seem like a challenge to make sense of figures with overlapping triangles, but it's not so difficult! This video gives some commonsense advice for identifying common angles and common sides in these figures.
What is the Angle-Side-Angle postulate? This postulate is just one of many postulates you can use to prove two triangles are congruent! This tutorial explains the ASA postulate.
The term CPCTC can come up a lot when you're dealing with congruent triangles, but what does it mean? This tutorial gives a great explanation and shows you how to use it in an example!
There's a special theorem that helps you quickly figure out if two right triangles are congruent. This tutorial introduces you to that theorem and shows you how to use it!
If you ever plug a value in for a variable into an expression or equation, you're using the Substitution Property of Equality. This property allows you to substitute quantities for each other into an expression as long as those quantities are equal. Watch this tutorial to learn about this useful property!
Trying to find a missing interior angle measurement in a triangle? See if you're working with a special type of triangle such as an equilateral or isosceles triangle. If you are, that knowledge can help you. In this tutorial, see how identifying your triangle first can be very helpful in solving for that missing measurement. Take a look!
