Geometric Ratios unit 5 Flashcards
what does a transveral mean
its a line that goes through the 2 parallel lines
when theres 2 parallel lines and a transversal how many different angles are there
theres 2 differnt angles out of the 8 total (4 of each same )
when theres 2 unparallel lines with a transversal how many different angles are there
4 differnt angles out of total 8 angles there
alternate interior angles meaning
located between the 2 paralell lines by transversal (both angles inside and diagonal from eachother)
alternate exterior angles meaning
located outside parallel lines by transversal (both angles on outiside and diagonal from eachother)
interior angle meaning
located on inside parallel lines by transversal and vertical from eachother (inside vertical)
exterior angle meaning
located on outside parallel lines by transversal and vertical(outside vertical)
corrosponding angles meaning
one interior and one exterior angle both on same side
(shape looks like F or F backwards )
co-interior angles meaning
interior angles on same side looks like two c on same side one up one down
also is supplementry when lines parallel (add up 180°)
vertically oppisite angles meaning
whenever 2 lines intersect theyre oppisite
suplementry angles meaning
2 angles add up to 180 degrees
complementry angles meaning
two angles add up to 90 degrees
how do you prove two angles equal with parallel lines
1- pick one angle and show another angle its equal to
2- then show how the new angle is equal to the other angle
3- since both angles are equal transitive property
determine angle measures on triangle
use the angle relationships to show how they are equal or is complementry 90 degrees and 180 if supplementry
how to prove two angles are equal in a triangle
1- write out 2 givens
2- then identify is sss, asa, sas and what you need to get one of those relationships
(if theres a shared side then side= side then thatll work ofr 3rd statment if cant find)
3- then both triangles are congruent bc asa sas sss
4- then final statment bc correspondoing angles/sides equal when triangle congruent
