Geometry Quiz 1

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Acute Triangle   A triangle for which all interior angles are acute, or less than 90 degrees.  
🗑
Alternate exterior angles   Exterior angles on alternate sides of the transversal.  
🗑
Alternate interior angles   Interior angles on alternate sides of the transversal.  
🗑
Altitude of the polygon   A straight line through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the base of a triangle  
🗑
Angle bisector theorem   Concerned with the relative lengths of the two segments that a triangle's side is divided into by a line that bisects the opposite angle. It equates their relatives lengths to the relative lengths of the other two sides of the triangle.  
🗑
Angle bisector theorem, Converse   If a point is equidistant from the sides of an angle, then it is on the angle bisector.  
🗑
Angle   Formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle.  
🗑
Arc   A closed segment of a differentiable curve in the 2D plane.  
🗑
Area   Ant particular extent of space or surface.  
🗑
Bisector   A line that divides something into 2 equal parts.  
🗑
Center of a polygon   In a rotation, the point that does not move. The rest of the plane rotates around this one fixed point.  
🗑
Centroid of a triangle   The point where the three medians of the triangle intersect.  
🗑
Circumcenter of a triangle   The point where three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meet.  
🗑
Circumference   A complete circular arc; also the distance around the outside of a circle.  
🗑
Circumscribed   A geometric figure that is drawn around another geometric figure so as to touch all its vertices.  
🗑
Combination   A way of selecting several things out of a larger group, where order does not matter.  
🗑
Common parts   Informal language that describes similarities, difference, parts and other attributes of two and three dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations.  
🗑
Compass   An instrument for drawing circles and arcs and measuring distances between points, consisting of two arms linked by a movable joint.  
🗑
Complement probability   In probability theory, the complement of any event A is the event i.e. the event that A does nor occur.  
🗑
Complementary angle   Two angles that add up to 90 degrees  
🗑
Composition   The combining of distinct parts or elements to form a whole  
🗑
Compound event   An event whose probability of occurrence depends upon the probability of occurrence of 2 or more independent events.  
🗑
Compression   To reduce a shape in size while retaining proportions.  
🗑
Conditional probability   The probability that an event will occur, when another event is known to occur or to have occurred.  
🗑
Conditional probability formula   The conditional probability of A given B is denoted by P(A|B) and defined by the formula P(A|B)=P(AB) P(B), Provided P(B)>0  
🗑
Concurrency by AAS, ASA, SAS, SSS   Triangles are congruent if any pair of corresponding sides and their included angles are equal in both triangles.  
🗑
Congruent   Identical in form; coinciding exactly when superimposed.  
🗑
Construction   The drawing of various shapes using only a compass and straightedge or ruler. No measurement of lengths or angles is allowed.  
🗑
Coordinates   On the coordinate plane, the pair of numbers giving the location of a point. In three-dimensional coordinates, the triple of numbers giving the location of a point. In n-dimensional space, a sequence of n numbers written in parentheses.  
🗑


   

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.
