Geometry Test #6 Flashcards
Distance Formula
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Slope Formula
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Midpoint Formula
(x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2
Slope-Intercept Form
y = mx + b (m is the slope, b is the y-intercept)
Point-Slope Form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
(m is the slope, (x1, y1) is a point on the line)
Standard Form
Ax + By = C (A, B, C are constants)
Parallelogram
opposite sides are parallel and equal in length
Rectangle
four right angles and opposite sides are equal in length
Rhombus
all sides are equal in length and opposite angles are equal
Square
four right angles and all sides are equal in length
Trapezoid
exactly one pair of opposite sides are parallel
Ways of Proving Congruent Triangles:
SSS
SAS
ASA
AAS
HL (for right angles)
CPCTC
Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent
Isosceles Triangle Definition
A triangle that has at least 2 congruent sides
Isosceles Triangle Theorem
If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent.
Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem
If 2 angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite them are congruent.
Median
connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.
