alternate exterior angles | the outside angles on opposite diagonal sides of a transversal crossing two parallel lines |
Parallel lines | any coplanar lines that are always the same distance apart. |
transversal | a line that intersects two or more lines in a plane |
alternate interior angles | the inside angles on opposite diagonal sides of a transversal crossing two parallel lines |
corresponding angles | the angles that lie in the same position or "match up" when a transversal crosses two parallel lines |
same-side interior angles | in angles created by a transversal crossing two lines, the angles that are on the same side of the transversal and in-between the two lines that are not the transversal |
How are same-side angles found? | When two lines are intersected by a transversal, pairs of corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, and same-side interior angles are formed. |
What happens when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal? | When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, corresponding angles are congruent. |
Corresponding Angles Postulate | when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the resulting corresponding angles are congruent. |
True Or false: Lines that are intersected by transversals will always be parallel. | False. The two lines that are intersected by a transversal can be either parallel or not. |
What angles are created by transversal lines? | When two lines are intersected by a transversal, pairs of corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, and same-side interior angles are formed. |
converse | a conditional statement that switches the hypothesis and the conclusion of the original conditional statement |
How is a conditional statement written and how is the converse? | conditional statement written as "If p, then q," the converse is "If q, then p." |
True or false: If a conditional statement is true, its converse is true. | False. If a conditional statement is true, its converse might or might not be true. |
Write the corresponding angles postulate's converse. | The converse is the following: If two lines are intersected by a transversal and the corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. |
How can you prove that two lines are parallel? | To prove that two lines are parallel, you only have to prove that two corresponding angles are congruent. |
How can you prove that all lines are congruent in the parallel lines. | You can prove that all of the other pairs are congruent by using the Linear Pair Postulate and the Vertical Angles Theorem. |
The converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate, the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem, and the Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem are all true. | True |
Why is it important that these converses are true? | Because these converses are true, you can use them to prove that two lines are parallel. |
Interior Angles | any of the angles inside a polygon; an interior angle forms a linear pair with an exterior angle |
Parallel Postulate | Given a line and a point not on that line, there is one and only one line that contains the given point and is parallel to the given line. |
Triangle Sum Theorum | the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. |
In what ways can the measure of an angle be manipulated. | The measure of an angle is a number and therefore can be added, subtracted, or otherwise manipulated under properties of real numbers you learned in algebra. |
Through any two___, a ___ ___ can be drawn. | Through any two points, a single line can be drawn. |
Any___can be extended____to construct a line. | Any segment can be extended indefinitely to construct a line. |
Given any ____, a circle can be drawn with the _____ as the ____ and one of the segment's endpoints as the _____. | Given any segment, a circle can be drawn with the segment as the radius and one of the segment's endpoints as the center. |
If you know the measures of two angles in a triangle, what can you do with TST? | If you know the measures of two angles in a triangle, then you can use TST to determine the measure of the third angle. |
exterior angles | an angle formed by two sides of a polygon, one of which extends outside the polygon; each interior angle of a polygon forms a linear pair with an exterior angle |
remote interior angle | an angle inside a triangle that is not adjacent to a given exterior angle |
What are 2 uses for the Exterior Angle Theorem? | 1.in proofs, to establish other theorems 2.to solve problems |
What is the Exterior Angle Theorem? | The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles. |
What does the Exterior Angle Theorem make it possible to do? | The Exterior Angle Theorem makes it possible to determine the value of an exterior angle quickly when you know the values of its remote interior angles. |
What is an exterior angle? | An exterior angle of a triangle is the angle formed by one side of a triangle and by extending the line containing an adjacent side. |
concave polygon | a polygon in which at least one line segment that connects any two points inside the polygon does not lie completely inside the polygon |
convex polygon | a polygon in which every line segment connecting any two points inside the polygon lies completely inside the polygon |
interior angle of a polygon | any of the angles inside a polygon; an interior angle forms a linear pair with an exterior angle |
polygon | a closed figure formed by three or more line segments in a plane, such that each line segment intersects exactly two other line segments at their endpoints only |
All polygons look the same and have only an interior angle | false, Not all polygons look the same, but they all have interior and exterior angles. |
What is the formula of the measures of the Interior angles of a polygon? | The formula for the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon is S = 180(nv 2) where n is the number of sides of the polygon. |

What is the difference between congruent segments and congruent angles? | Congruent segments are the same size, and congruent angles have the same measure. |
Remember | Congruent Polygons have the same size and shape. |

What are two aspects that you can measure when it comes to regions | the boundary of the region and its interior. |
perimeter | The distance around a plane figure. |
base | the bottom side or face of a geometric figure |
height | in a geometric figure, an altitude that is perpendicular to a base |
The base is often the side that is on the "bottom" but it doesn't have to be. If you rotate a figure, the base might be on the side. On a rectangle, wherever a base is, the height is the measure of the side that is perpendicular to it. | The base is often the side that is on the "bottom" but it doesn't have to be.
