About Geometry Worksheet Assignment 5.20:
Assignment 5.20 is an introduction to using CPCTC to prove geometric relationships using two column format.
Prerequisite Skill: Use two-column form to prove congruent triangles and use CPCTC to prove pairs of sides and angles of triangles congruent (Assignment 5.17).
Definitions: Definition of Isosceles Triangle: A triangle that has two congruent sides is isosceles.
Definition of Midpoint: A point that divides a line segment into two congruent line segments is a midpoint..
Theorems: Alternate Interior Angle Theorem: Lines intersected by a transveral so that the alternate interior angles are congruent are parallel.
Perpendicular Lines Theorem: Two lines that intersect to make congruent adjacent angles are perpendicular.
