Geometry Unit Two Flashcards
perpendicularity2
- lines/rays/segments that intersect at right angles
- don’t assume from diagram
oblique
when 2 lines intersect and are not perpendicular
complementary angles2
- 2 angles whose sum is 90
- each of the two angles is called the complement of the other
supplementary angles2
- 2 angles whose sum is 180
- each of the two angles is called the supplement of the other
congruent supps and comps theorems2
- if angles are supplementary/complementary to the same angle, then they are congruent
- if angles are supplementary/complementary to congruent angles, then they are congruent
addition property 2
- if an angle/segment is added to 2 congruent angles/segments, the sums are congruent
- if congruent angles/segments are added to 2 congruent angles/segments, the sums are congruent
subtraction property2
- if an angle/segment is subtracted from 2 congruent angles/segments, the differences are congruent
- if congruent angles/segments are subtracted from 2 congruent angles/segments, the differences are congruent
addition property is used
when the segments/angles in conclusion are greater than those in the given
subtraction property is used
when the segments/angles in conclusion are less than those in the given
multiplication property
if segments/angles are congruent, their like multiples are congruent
division property
if segments/angles are congruent, their like divisions are congruent
transitive property2
- if angles/segments are congruent to the same angle/segment, they are congruent to each other
- if angles/segments are congruent to congruent angles/segments, they are congruent to each other
substitution
to solve for a variable and then plug the answer into original equation
opposite rays
2 collinear rays that have a common endpoint and extend in different directions
vertical angles
when the rays forming the sides of one angle and the rays forming the sides of the other are opposite rays
