IAtionary: Common Sense Theorem

Com-mon Sense Theor-em [kah-mohn-sehns-theer-uhm] n.

1. The theorem used to justify a mathematical argument, saying that it is obvious to anyone looking at the situation and needs no further rationale; Can you explain why angle ABC is equal to angle CBA? Well, they're the same angle, so I just used the Common Sense Theorem.
2. A handy substitute for things such as CPCTC, Vertical Angles, Supplementary Angles, The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and Thinking.

Language of Origin: Math
