Geometry Quiz #1 Flashcards
Circle Equation
r^2=(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2
(h,k) = center points
X-Value
x1+(r1/(r1+r2))(Δx)
Y-Value
y1+(r1/(r1+r2))(Δy)
Distance
d=√(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2
d=√(Δx)^2 + (Δy)^2
Slope
y=mx+b
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
Ax+By=C
Midpoint
(((x1+x2)/2) , ((y1+y2)/2))
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram
Use the slope formula four times - since the slopes of both pairs of opposite sides are equal…
A quadrilateral is a trapezoid
Use the slope formula four times - one pair of opposite sides has to be parallel, and the other pair isn’t
A quadrilateral is an isosceles trapezoid
After proving the quadrilateral is a trapezoid, use the distance formula to show that the trapezoid’s nonparallel sides are equal.
A quadrilateral is a rectangle
Use the slope formula four times - since the slopes of each pair of adjacent sides are perpendicular…
A quadrilateral is a rhombus
Distance formula four times - it is equilateral
A quadrilateral is a square
Prove it is a rectangle, and then find the slopes of the two diagonals - proving they’re perpendicular
