Chapter 5 Geometry Vocabulary

QuestionAnswer
Hypotenuse The side opposite the right angle in a right triangle
Legs of Right Triangle The two sides of a right triangle that make up the right angle
Equidistant When a point is the same distance from one line as it is from another line
Midpoint The point on a segment that divides the segment into two equal segments
Proof A convincing argument that shows why a statement is true
Perpendicular Bisector A segment, ray, or line that is forms 90 degree angles to a segment at its midpoint
Angle Bisector The line, ray, or segment that cuts an angle into two equal halves.
Vertex A point that joins two sides of a triangle
Parallel When these lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate interior angles are congruent.
Congruent Figures Figures where all pairs of corresponding angles and corresponding sides are congruent.
Perpendicular Two lines that intersect to form a right angle.
Distance from a Point to a Line Measured by the length of the perpendicular segment from the point to the line.
Corresponding Parts The "matching" sides or angles
Reflexive Property BA = BA
Symmetric Property BA = AB
Segment Bisector A segment, ray, line, or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint.
Vertical Angles Two non-adjacent angles created by intersecting lines that share the same vertex; these angles are congruent.
Postulate 12 SSS When 3 sides of a triangle are congruent to 3 sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
Postulate 13 SAS When 2 sides and an included angle of one triangle are congruent to the same on another, then the triangles are congruent.
Postulate 14 ASA When 2 angles and an included side of one triangle are congruent to the same on another, then the triangles are congruent.
Theorem 5.1 AAS When 2 angles and an a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the same on another, then the triangles are congruent.
Theorem 5.2 HL When the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the same on another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Theorem 5.3 Angle Bisector Theorem If a point is on the bisector of an angle, then it is equidistant from the two sides of the angle.
Theorem 5.4 Perpendicular Bisector Theorem If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
