Year 9 - Term 4 - Axioms/Properties Euclidean Geometry Flashcards
What is an axiom
A true statement
A property of Angles is that angles in a right angle add to x
90
A property of angles is that angles in a straight line add to x
180
A property of angles is that angles in a vertex add to x
360
What are the conditions for vertically opposite angles to be equal
The lines must be straight
Define all the things that are happening on parallel lines
Co interior angles add to 180, Alternate angles are equal, Corresponding angles are equal
How to prove lines are parallel
If the transverse that cuts and the angle properties stay up
Name 2 Triangle properties related to angles
2 Interior angles add to the exterior of the other, all 3 angle always add to 180
Kite Properties, define diagonals
- 2 Pair of adjacent sides are equal
- Diagonals intersect each other perpendicularly
- Kite Is symmetric along the longer diagonal only
- Opposite angles are equal
- Diagonals bisect
Diagonals are the segments that connect opposite vertices
Trapezium Properties
- 1 pair of sides are parallel
- Diagonals bisect
- Bisect means to divide evenly in this case meaning 90 degree angles
Parallelogram Properties
- 2 pairs of sides are parallel
- Opposite angles are equal
- Diagonals bisect
- Co interior angles add to 180
Rhombus Properties
- 2 adjacent angles add to 180
- Opposite sides are parallel
- All sides are equal
- Diagonals bisect each other
- Opposite angles are equal
Rectangle properties
- Opposite sides are parallel
- Diagonals bisect each other and are all equal
- All angles ae 90
- Pairs of sides are equal
Square properties
- All sides are equal
- Pairs of sides are parallel
- Angels in the diagonal are all 90
- All angles are 90
- Diagonals bisect
