Theorems

Theorems are statements that can be deduced and proved from definitions, postulates, and previously proved theorems.

Note: these are only a few of the MANY theorems there are out there...

Assorted Theorems

Line Intersection Theorem: Two different lines intersect in at most one point.
Betweenness Theorem: If C is between A and B and on line segment AB, then AC + CB = AB.

Related Theorems

Theorem: If A, B, and C are distinct points and AC + CB = AB, then C lies on line segment AB.
Theorem: For any points A, B, and C, AC + CB is greater than or equal to line segment AB .
Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2, if c is the hypotenuse.
