Vocab Flashcards
Addition Property
If a=b, then a+c=b+c.
Add same thing to both sides of an equation.
Angle Addition Postulate
If B is in the interior of <APC, then m<APB + m<BPC = m<APC. Sum of parts equal a whole.
Angle Bisector (def.)
`A ray is an angle bisector if and only if it divides an angle into 2 congruent(equal) angles.
Complementary Angles (def)
2 angles are complementary if and only if their sum is 90 degrees.
Congruent Complements Theorem
If two angles are complements of the same angle (or congruent angles), then the two angles are congruent.
Congruent Supplements Theorem
If two angles are supplements of the same angle(or congruent angles), then the two angles are congruent.
Def. of congruent angles or segments
If two angles are congruent, then they have a equal measure
Division Property
If a=b and c=0, then a/c =b/c.
(divide both sides by the same thing).
Linear Pair of Angles(def.)
2 angles are a linear pair if and only if they are adjacent angles whose noncommon sides are opposite rays.
Linear Pair Theorem
If 2 angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary.
Multiplication Property
If a=b, then ac=bc.
(multiply both sides by the same thing)
Reflexive Property
For and real number a, a=a.
Right angle (def)
An angle is right if it has a measure of 90 degrees.
Subtraction Property
If a=b, then a-c = b-c.
(subtract same thing from both sides of an equation)
Substitution Property
If a=b, then A may be substituted for B in an equation or expression.
Supplementary Angles (def.)
2 angles are supplementary if and only if their sum is 180 degrees.
Transitive Property
If a=b and b=c, then a=c.
Vertical Angles (def.)
2 angles are vertical if and only if they are nonadjacent angles formed by intersecting lines.
Vertical Angles Theorem
If 2 angle’s are vertical then they are congruent.
Corresponding angles Postulate
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.
Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the two pairs of alternative interior angles are congruent.
Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the two pairs of alternate exterior angles are congruent.
Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem
If two parallel lines are but by a transversal, then the two pairs of same-side interior angles are supplementary.
Converse of Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
If two lines are cut by a transversal so that the alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
