Definitions and Suggestions
| Geometric Shape | Theorem |
|---|---|
| Equiangular Hexagon | The sum of the interior angles of an equiangular hexagon is 720 degrees. Each interior angle of an equiangular hexagon measures 120 degrees. |
| Equilateral Triangle | An equilateral triangle is also equiangular, and each of its interior angles measures 60 degrees. All three sides of an equilateral triangle are equal. |
| Parallel Lines | The corresponding angles formed by a transversal intersecting two parallel lines are congruent. The alternate interior angles are congruent. |
