3.1-3.3

Question 1

synthetic proof

Answer 1

proof built using a system of postulates & theorems in which the prop’s of figures, but not their actual measurements, r studied

Question 2

justiifications of synthetic proof

Answer 2

given statements

definitions

postulates

previously proved theorems

Question 3

Bisecting Diagonals Th

Answer 3

If the 2 diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the quadirlateral is a parallelogram.

Question 4

implications

Answer 4

if-then statements that can be represented by symbols

Ex: p→q reads If p, then q

Question 5

logically equivalent

Answer 5

either both truth or both false

original & contrapositive

Question 6

not logically equivalent

Answer 6

just cuz the original = true, doesn’t mean converse & inverse r

Question 7

contrapositive

Answer 7

~q → ~p

If not q, then not p

Question 8

converse

Answer 8

q → p

If q, then p

Question 9

inverse

Answer 9

~p → ~q

If not p, then not q

Question 10

median (of triangle)

Answer 10

a segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opp. side

Question 11

coordinate proof

Answer 11

a proof based on a coord. system in which all points r represented by ordered pairs of #’s

Question 12

justificiations for coordinate proof

Answer 12

distance & midpoint formulas

parallel lines have the same slope

perp. lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other

a geometric figure may be placed anywhere in the coordinate plane

Question 13

distance formula

Answer 13

Question 14

midpoint formula

Answer 14

Question 15

Isosceles Median Theorem

Answer 15

In an isosceles triangle, the medians drawn to the legs are equal in measure.

Question 16

isosceles trapezoid

Answer 16

a trapezoid w/ a line of symmetry that passes through the midpoints of the bases

Question 17

Isosceles Trapezoid Theorem

Answer 17

In an isosceles trapezoid:

1. the legs r equal in measure
2. the diagonals r equal in measure
3. the 2 angles @ each base r equal in measure

Question 18

inclusive definition

Answer 18

a definition that includes all possibilities

Question 19

If 2 angles r supplements of the same angle, then they r equal in measure.

If 2 angles r complements of the same angle, then they r equal in measure

Straight Angle Post - If the sides of an angle form a straight line, then the angle is a straight angle with measure 180^o

Angle/Segment Addition Post - For any segment or angle, the measure of the whole is equal to the sum of the measures of its non-overlapping parts.

Vertical angles are equal in measure

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180^o

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal in measure to the sum of the measures of its two remote interior angles

If 2 sides of a triangle r equal in measure, then the angles opp those sides r equal in measure

If 2 angles of a triangle r equal in measure, then the sides opp those angles r equal in measure

If a triangle is equilateral, then it is also equiangular, with three 60^o angles.

If a triangle is equiangular, then it’s also equilateral

The sum of the angle measures of an n-gon is given by the formula S(n) = (n -2)180^o

If 2 parallel lines r intersected by a transversal, then corresponding angles r equal in measure

If 2 parallel lines r intersected by a transversal, then alternate int angles r = in measure

If 2 parallel lines r intersceted by a trnsvrsl, then co-interior angles r supp

If 2 lines r intersected by a transversal & corresponding angles r = in measure, then the lines r parallel

If 2 lines r intersected by a transversal & alt int angles r = in measure, then the lines r parallel

If 2 liens r intersected by a transversal & co-interior angles r supp, then the lines r parallel

If 2 lines r perp to the same transversal, then they r parallel

If a transversal = perp to one of 2 parallel lines , then its is perp to the other one also

Thru a pt not on a given line, there is 1 and only 1 line parallel to the given line

If a pt is the same distance from both endpts of a segment, then it lies on the perp bisector of the segment

A segment can be drawn perp to a given line from a pt not on the line. The length of this segment is the shortest distance from the pt to the line.

AA Similarity - If 2 angles of 1 tirangle r equal in measure to 2 angles of another triangle, then the 2 triangles r similar

If a line is drawn from a pt on one side of a tirangle parallel to another side, then it forms a tirangle similar to the original triangle

In a tirangle, a segment that connects the midpts of 2 sides is parallel to the third side & half as long

If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the 2 triangles formed r similar to the original triangle & to each other

Pythagorean Th

If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the measure of the altitude is the geometric mean b/w the measures of the parts of the hypotenuse

The sum of the lengths of any 2 sides of a tirangle is greater than the length of the 3rd side

In an isosceles triangle, the medians drawn to the legs r equal in measure

In a parallelogram, the diagonals have the same midpt

In a rectangle, the diagonals r equal in measure

In a kit, the diagonals r perp to each other

In a parallelogram, opp sides r equal in measure

If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then consecutive angles r supp

If a quad is a parallelogram, then opp angles r equal in measrue

The sum of the measures of the angles of a quad is 360^o

If both pairs of opp angles of a quad r equal in measreu, then the quad = a parallelogram
