Defenitions Chapter 3 Flashcards
Coordinate
Of a point on al line is the number that corresponds to the point.
Equivalence
A relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive
Ruler postulate
Every point of a line can be placed in correspondence with a real number.
Completeness postulate
Given a ray, AB, and any positive real number “r”, the rid exactly one point C on the Ray so that AC=r
Distance formula
d= /—————————
_/ (|x, - x.|)^2 + (|y, -y.|)^2 d^2 square root = d
,=1 .=2
Midpoint theorem
If “m” is the midpoint of AB line, the AM= 1/2 AB. Divides into two equal parts
Midpoint
A-M-B
^
The midpoint
Bisector of a segment
A curve that intersects only a midpoint
Congruent segments
Segments that have the same length. The symbol. ~ Is used
=
For congruent segments
Perimeter
The distance around a closed curve
Theorem 3.2
The perimeter of a regular n-gon with sides of length s in n x s
Circumference
The distance around a circle
Midpoint theorem
A+B/2
Tangent line
Is a line that intersects the circle in exactly one point
Inscribed
A polygon whose vertices are points of a circle
