AA postulate AA postulate In Euclidean geometry, the AA postulate states that two triangles are similar if they have two corresponding angles congruent. The AA postulate follows from the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°. By knowing two angles, such as 32° and 64° degrees, we know that the next angle is 84°, because 180-(32+64)=84. (This is sometimes referred to as the AAA Postulate—which is true in all respects, but two angles are entirely sufficient.) The postulate can be better understood by working in reverse order. The two triangles on grids A
Magic triangle (mathematics) Magic triangle (mathematics) A magic triangle (also called a perimeter magic triangle) is an arrangement of the integers from 1 to on the sides of a triangle with the same number of integers on each side, called the "order" of the triangle, so that the sum of integers on each side is a constant, the magic sum of the triangle. Unlike magic squares, there are different magic sums for magic triangles of the same order. Any magic triangle has a complementary triangle obtained by replacing each integer in the triangle with . This means that only half of the triangles
