Geometry Flashcards
Consecutive interior angles
Are supplementary, I.e sum to 180 if they are parallel
What is the area of a triangle?
1/2 (b)(h)
The height is always perpendicular to the base.
What is the measurement of the short leg, long leg, and hypotenuse with respect to x of a 30-60-90 triangle?
Short leg is x, long leg is x sq root of 3, and hypotenuse is 2x.
If a 90 degree triangle has the ratio of the hypotenuse to short leg as 2:1, you know it’s a 30-60-90 triangle.
What is the length of the 2 legs and hypotenuse as it relates to x?
Legs are x and hypotenuse is x sqroot of 2
Why is the 45-45-90 triangle (isosceles) special?
It is half of a square, so if you know the diagonal or side of a square, you can find the length of the square
What is the diameter of a circle?
2 * r
What is the circumference of a circle?
Pi * d
