Chaper 6 Geometry
8th Grade - 1/27/11
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Cross Products Property | Multiplying the means, then the extremes, and setting them equal to solve for a variable. |
Ratio | a comparison of 2 numbers by division Represented by- a:b , a/b , or a to b |
Proportion | 2 ratios set equal |
Geometric Mean | A/X = X/B |
Reciprocal Property | If A/B = C/D , then B/A = D/C |
Interchanging Means Property | If A/B = C/D , then A/C = B/D |
Scale | Ratio that describes how the dimensions of a model are related to the actual object |
Similar Polygons | Same shape, congruent angles, proportional sides. |
Scale Factor | The ratio of 2 corresponding sides in similar figures. |
Theorem 6.1: Perimeters of Similar Polygons | If 2 polygons are similar, then the ratio of the perimeter = the ratio of the sides. |
Corresponding Lengths in Similar Polygons | If 2 polygons are similar, then the ratio of the 2 corresponding lengths = the scale factor. |
Postulate 22: AA Similarity Postulate | If 2 angles of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. |
