Triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem STUDENT GLOSSARY

QuestionAnswer
alternate exterior angles exterior angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal, their measures are equal
alternate interior angles interior angles that lie on opposite sides of transversal,their measures are equal
converse reversed parts of the pythagorean theorm
corresponding angles angles that are in the same position on the two lines in relation to the transversal when the lines are parallel their measures are equal
deductive reasoning uses facts rules definitions or laws to make conjectures from given situations
Distance Formula to find the distance between two points on the coordinate plane
equiangular a polygon that is equalateral
exterior angles lie outside the lines
formal proof a two column proof containing statements and reasons
hypotenuse the side opposite side of the right angle
inductive reasoning`` the process of making a conjecture from given situations
informal proof a paragraph proof
interior angles lie inside the lines
legs are the sides that form the right angle
paragraph proof a paragraph that explains why a statement or conjecture is true

perpendicular lines two lines that intersect in a plane and form right angles
polygon a simple closed figure formed by three or more line segments
proof a logical argument in which each statement that is supported by a statement that is accepted ture
Pythagorean Theorem in a right angle the square of lengths of the hypotenuse c is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs a and b
regular polygon a polygon that is equilateral and equiangular

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
