obtuse   greater than 90  
🗑
congruent angles   angles that have the same measurement  
🗑
adjacent angles   two angle that lie on the same plane and have a common vertex and common sides but have no common interior points.  
🗑
vertical angles   two non adjacent angles made by an intersection and are always congruent  
🗑
linear pair   pair of adjacent angles with non common sides that are opposite rays.  
🗑
supplementary angles   two angles that equal 180 degrees  
🗑
perpendicular lines   line segments that make an intersection and all make 90 degree angles.  
🗑
conjecture   educated guess based on known knowledge.  
🗑
inductive reasoning   reasoning that uses a number of specific examples to arrive at a good prediction.  
🗑
counter example   makes the inductive reasoning false.  
🗑
statement   a sentence that is either true or false but not both.  
🗑
negate   opposite meaning - put a not in the sentence.~ means not

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.
