THEOREM 1

Theorem 1 proves that

"Verticially Opposite Angles Are Equal In Measure".


About Theorem 1
Theorem 1 is the shortest and most basic on the Junior Cert Higher Level Course. Although it has never actually been directly asked in the Junior Certificate, it certainly could be so please don't ignore it. It is relatively easy so do revise it properly.

THEOREM 2

Theorem 2 states that

"The measure of the three angles in a triangle add up to 180"


About Theorem 2

Theorem 2 is relatively straightforward but is not as easy as first glance might indicate. Please view the resources available here and play particular attention to the section explaining 'Alternate Angles'. An understanding of these is necessary within this theorem.

Background information relevant to Theorem 2

Please click HERE to see background information relating to Alternate angles and Corresponding angles. This is important to understand Theorem 2

Revision Presentation of Theorem 2

THEOREM 3

Theorem 3 states that

"The Exterior Angle of a Triangle is Equal in Measure to the Sum of the Measures of Two Interior Opposite Angles"

About Theorem 3

Theorem 3 is very basic indeed. Very little background knowledge is required but still, it must not be overlooked when studying the Theorems section of the course.
