Question
Answer
midpoint   A point is the midpoint of a segment IF AND ONLY IF it cuts the segment into 2 congruent segments.  
🗑
perpendicular lines   Two lines are perpendicular IF AND ONLY IF they form a right angle.  
🗑
angle bisector   A ray is an angle bisector IF AND ONLY IF it cuts the angle into 2 congruent angles.  
🗑
congruent angles   Two angles are congruent IF AND ONLY IF they have equal measures.  
🗑
congruent segments   Two segments are congruent IF AND ONLY IF they have equal measures.  
🗑
segment bisector   A point, line or ray is a segment bisector IF AND ONLY IF it intersects the segment at its midpoint.  
🗑
acute angle   An angle is an acute angle IF AND ONLY IF its measure is between 0 and 90 (0<m<90).  
🗑
right angle   An angle is a right angle IF AND ONLY IF its measure is 90.  
🗑
obtuse angle   An angle is an obtuse angle IF AND ONLY IF its measure is between 90 and 180 (90<m<180).  
🗑
complementary angles   Two angles are complementary angles IF AND ONLY IF the sum of their measures is 90.  
🗑
supplementary angles   Two angles are supplementary angles IF AND ONLY IF the sum of their measures is 180.  
🗑
adjacent angles   Two angles are adjacent angles IF AND ONLY IF they share a common vertex and side, but have no common interior points.  
🗑
linear pair   Two angles are a linear pair IF AND ONLY IF their non-common sides are opposite rays.  
🗑
vertical angles   Two angles are vertical angles IF AND ONLY IF their sides form two pairs of opposite rays and they are not adjacent.  
🗑
hypothesis   The "if" part of an If...then... statement.  
🗑
conclusion   The "then" part of an If...then... statement.  
🗑
conditional statement   If p, then q.  
🗑
converse of If p, then q.   If q, then p.  
🗑
inverse of If p, then q.   If not p, then not q.  
🗑
contrapositive of If p, then q.   If not q, then not p.  
🗑
biconditional statement   A statement that contains IF AND ONLY IF and represents a conditional statement and its converse.  
🗑
postulate   A statement that is accepted without proof.  
🗑
theorem   A statement that can be proven.  
🗑
counterexample   A specific case for which the conjecture is false.  
🗑
conjecture   An unproven statement that is based on observations.  
🗑
inductive reasoning   Reasoning using observed patterns to form a conjecture.  
🗑
deductive reasoning   Reasoning using facts, definitions, and properties to form a logical argument.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
