Midterm Flashcards
Vertical Angels Congruence Theorem
All vertical angles are congruent
Right angle congruence theorem
All right angles are congruent
Linear Pair postulate
Angles In a linear pair are supplements
Parallel lines
Lines that don’t intersect and slopes are equal
Skew Lines
Do not intersect and aren’t on the same plane
Parallel Postulate
Given a line and a point not on the line, you can draw only one line that is parallel to the original line and goes through the point
Perpendicular postulate
Given a line and a point not on the line, you can only draw one line that is perpendicular to the original line and goes through the point
Transversal
A line that intersects 2 or more other lines at different points
Interior angles
Inside the lines
Exterior angles
Outside the lines
Consecutive interior angles
Inside the lines and on the same side of the transversal
Alternate interior angels
Inside the lines and Opposite sides of the transversal
Alternate exterior angles
Outside the lines, opposite sides of the transversal
Corresponding angles
One inside one outside the lines, not adjacent (different intersections) same Sid of the transversal
Consecutive interior angles postulate
For parallel lines crossed by a transversal, consecutive interior angles are supplementary
Alternate interior angles postulate
For parallel lines crossed by a transversal, alternate interior angles are congruent.
Corresponding angles postulate
Corresponding angles are congruent
Converse
Reversing (switching) the two parts of an if-then statements
Consecutive interior angles converse theorem
For lines cut by the transversal, if their consecutive interior angles are supplements, then the lines are parallel
Alternate interior angles converse theorem
For lines cut by the transversal, if their alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel
Alternate exterior angles converse theorem
For lines cut by the transversal, if their alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel
Corresponding angles converse theorem
For lines cut by the transversal, if their corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel
Transitive property of parallel lines
If a is parallel to b, and b is parallel to c, then a is parallel to c
Slope intercept of a line
Y=mx+b
Y intercept
B (as in y=mx+b)
Slope
Rise over run, change in y over change in x
H0Y VUX
Horizontal line, 0 slope, Y=#
Vertical line, undefined slope, x=#
Steepness
How fast the incline is rising(slope)
Slopes of parallel lines
Identical
Slopes of perpendicular lines
Opposite and reciprocal
Opposite reciprocals
Ex) 3/4 would be -4/3
Perpendicular transversal theorem
If a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other
Scalene
No sides are congruent
Isosceles
2 sides are congruent
Equilateral
All three sides are congruent
Vertex
The angle created by two legs
Legs on an isosceles triangle
The two congruent sides
Isosceles base
The non-congruent side
Isosceles base angles
The 2 angles adjacent to the base
Acute triangle
All angles less than 90 degrees
Equiangular
All angles are congruent
