About Geometry Worksheet Assignment 5.13:
Assignment 5.13 is an introduction to writing proofs for congruent triangles that include basic definitions and theorems using flow charts.
Prerequisite Skills: Complete and write flow chart proofs (Assignment 5.11). Identify conditions for triangle congruence (SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL) (Assignment 5.5).
Definitions: Definition of Isosceles Triangle: An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two congruent sides.
Definition of Midpoint: A midpoint of a line segment is a point that divides the line segment into two congruent line segments.
Definition of Angle Bisector: The bisector of an anglet divides the angle into two congruent angles.
Theorem: Perpendicular Lines Theorem: Perpendicular Lines are lines that intersect at right angles. Right angles are congruent.
