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.
