Term | Definition |

Conditional Statement | A statement written in if-then form (p=hypothesis, q=conclusion) |
Bi-Conditional Statement | The conjunction of the conditional and it's converse (p if and only if q) |
Law of Detachment | Given a conditional statement, if the hypothesis is true, then the conclusion is true |
Law of Syllogism | Allows you to draw a conclusion from 2 conditional statements in which the conclusion of the first statement is the hypothesis of the second statement |
Addition Property | If a=b, then a+c=b+c |
Subtraction Property | If a=b, then a-c=b-c |
Multiplication property | If a=b, then a(c)=b(c) |
Division Property | If a=b, then a/c=b/c |
Substitution Proterty | IF a=b then a may be replaced by b in an expression or equation |
Reflexive Property | For any real number a, a=a (A value will always equal itself) |
Symmetric Property | If a=b, then b=a |
Transitive Property | If a=b, and b=c, then a=c |
Reflexive Property of Congruence | For any segment AB, AB≃AB |
Symmetric Property of congruence | If AB≃CD, then CD≃AB |
Transitive Property of Congruence | If AB≃CD and CD≃EF, then AB≃EF |
Definition of Congruence | SEgments are congruent if and only if they have the same measure (AB≃CD, then AB=CD) |
Definition of Midpoint | If M is the midpoint of AB, then AM=MB |
Segment Addition Postulate | If A, B, and C are collinear points and B is between A and C, then AB+BC=AC |
Definition of Congruence | The measures of two angles are equal if and only if the angles are congruent |
Definition of a Right Angle | And angle measures 90 degrees if and only if it is a right angle |
Definition of Complementary Angles | Two angles are complementary if and only if the sum or their measures is 90 degrees |
Definition of Supplementary Angles | Two angles are supplementary if and only if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees |
Definition of an Angle Bisector | An angle bisector divides and angle into two equal parts |
Definition of Perpendicular | Perpendicular lines form right angles |
Angle Addition Postulate | The measures of two adjacent angles add up to the measure of the entire angle |
Vertical Angles Theorem | If two angles are vertical, then they are congruent |
Complement Theorem | If two angles form a right angle, then they are complementary |
Linear Pair Theorem (Supplement Theorem) | If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary |
Congruent Complements Theorem | If two angles complementary to the same and, then they are congruent (If angle A is complementary to angle B, and angle C is complementary to angle B, then angle A≃angle C) |
Congruent Supplements Theorem | If two angles supplementary to the same angle, then they are congruent (if angle A is supplementary to angle B, and angle C is supplementary to angle B, then angle A≃angle C |
