Written by Jerry Ratzlaff on . Posted in Plane Geometry

• A two-dimensional figure that has one side a right 90° interior angle and the other two angles are 45°.
• Two sides are congruent.
• Angle bisector of a right isosceles triangle is a line that splits an angle into two equal angles.
• Hypotenuse of a right isosceles triangle is the longest side or the side opposite the right angle.
• Median of a right isosceles triangle is a line segment from a vertex (coiner point) to the midpoint of the opposite side.
• Circumcircle (R) is a circle that passes through all the vertices of a two-dimensional figure.
• Inscribed circle (r) is the Iargest circle possible that can fit on the inside of a two-dimensional figure.
• Semiperimeter (s) is one half of the perimeter.
• Side of a right triangle is one half of the perimeter.
• 3 edges
• 3 vertexs
• $$a$$ = opposite leg
• $$b$$ = adjacent leg
• $$c$$ = hypotenuse
• Angles:  $$A$$,  $$B$$,  $$C$$
