Math Vocabulary Flashcards
2 lines are parallel if they lie on he same plane and don’t intersect.
Parallel lines
lines that do not lie in the same plane
Skew lines
planes that do not intersect
Parallel planes
a line that intersects 2 or more lines at distinct points
Transversal
angles are non-adjacent angles that lie on opposite sides of the traversal.
Alternate interior angles
lie on the same side of the traversal(t) and between(l) and (m)
same side interior angles
lie on the same side of the traversal(t) and in corresponding positions relative to (l) and (m)
corresponding angles
Nonadjacent interior angles that lie on the opposite side of the transversal
Alternate interior angles
arrows show the logical connections between the statements
flow proof
line that is added to a diagram to help explain relationships in proofs
auxiliary lines
an angle formed by a side and an extension of an adjacent side
exterior angle of a polygon
2 nonadjacent interior angles corresponding to each exterior angle of a triangle
remote interior angles
ratio of its vertical change in coordinate plane to corresponding horizontal change(rise/run)
slope
linear equation is (y=mx+b) Where (m) is the slope of the line and (b) is the y-intercept
slope intercept form
non vertical line with slope(m) and through point (xsub(1),ysub (1)) is y-ysub(1)=m(x-xsun(1))
point slope form
a polygon with or triangle whose sides are all congruent.
equilateral polygon
a polygon or triangle whose sides are all congruent
quadrangular polygon
polygon that is both equilateral and quadrangular. Its center is the point that is equidistant from its vertices
regular polygon
