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 |

| 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 |
| Angle | We show it with the symbol (∠) and is formed by two rays with the same endpoint |

| Vertically Opposite Angles | They are equal |
| Complementary Angles | Their sum is 90° |
| 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 |
