question for geometry and algebra
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Inductive reasoning | a reasoning based on patterns you observe |
Conjecture | a conclusion you reach using inductive reasoning |
Counter example | proving that a conjecture is false by giving an example that is not correct |
Isometric Drawing | A drawing of an object from the corner |
Orthographic Drawing | A drawing of an object from the top, front, and right side view |
Foundation | A drawing of the base of a structure and the height of each part |
NET | A 2 dimensional pattern that when folded makes a 3 dimensional object. |
Collinear Points | Points that are located on the same line |
Space | The set of all points |
Plane | A flat surface with no thickness It contains many lines and points It can be named by one or two points on the line |
Coplanar | Points and lines in the same plane |
Line | A series of points that extend in two opposite directions and can be named by and two points on the line |
Postulate or Axion | An accepted statement of fact |
There is only one ________ passing through two points. | line |
The intersection of two lines is a ________ | point |
The intersection of two planes is a ________ | line |
through any three ________ points there is a plane | non-collinear |
Segment | A part of a line with two endpoints |
Ray | A part of a line with one endpoint |
Opposite Rays | Two rays with the same endpoint |
Parallel lines | Coplanar lines that do not intersect |
Skew lines | Non coplanar lines that are not parallel and do not intersect |
Parallel Planes | Planes that do not intersect |
Transversal | The line that passes through parallel lines |
Corresponding Angles | They are equal- same side of the transversal - same side of the lines |
Same Side Interior Angles | They are supplementary - on the same side of the transversal - between the lines |
Same Side Exterior Angles | They are supplementary - on the same side of the transversal - out of the lines |
Alternate Interior Angles | They are equal - different sides of the transversal - between the lines |
Alternate Exterior Angles | They are equal - different sides of the transversal - out of the lines |
Triangle Sum Theorem | In a triangle with the points A B C we draw a parallel line to BC and based on the parallel line properties A1 = C , A3 = B so A + B + C = 180 |
Midpoint Formula | ( [x1 + x2] ÷ 2) , ( [y1 + y2] ÷ 2) |
Endpoint Formula | for example: 4 = ([x1 + 4] ÷ 2) , 6 = ([y1 + 5] ÷ 2 ) |
Perimeter of a Square | 4 x side |
Area of a Square | side² |
Perimeter of a Rectangle | 2Length + 2Width |
Area of a Rectangle | Length x Width |
Circumference of a Circle | 2πr |
Area of a Circle | πr² |
If two figures are ________ , their areas are equal | Congruent |
The area of a region is the sum of the area of its ________ parts | Non - overlapping |
Perpendicular Lines | When two lines make a 90 degree angle |
Perpendicular Bisector | When two lines make a 90 degree angle and one of them divides the other in 2 equal segments |
The distance between any two points is the ________ of their ________ | Absolute Value - Difference |
Congruent Segments | Segments with the same length |
If three points are Collinear (ABC) and B between AC ________(Formula) | AB + BC = AC |
Midpoint | The point that divides the segment into two congruent segments |

Supplementary Angles | Their sum is 180° |
Adjacent Angles | They share the same vertex and side - the do not cover each other |
Distance Formula for points on a Coordinate Plane | √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)² |
