Geometry Chapter 5

        Help!  

Term
Definition
triangle   polygon with 3 sides and 3 angles  
🗑
scalene triangle   no congruent sides  
🗑
isosceles triangle   at least 2 congruent sides  
🗑
equilateral triangle   3 congruent sides and angles (60 degrees)  
🗑
acute   3 angles less than 90 degrees  
🗑
right   one angle is 90 degrees, the other two are acute  
🗑
obtuse   one angle is more than 90 degrees, the other two are acute  
🗑
equiangular   3 congruent angles  
🗑
congruent triangles...   fit on top of each other  
🗑
CPCTC   corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent  
🗑
SSS   side, side, side  
🗑
SAS   side, angle, side (angle in between congruent sides)  
🗑
ASA   angle, side, angle (side in between congruent angles)  
🗑
AAS   angle, angle, side (side is not between congruent angles)  
🗑
hypotenuse   opposite right angle, longest side of triangle  
🗑
legs   2 congruent sides of isosceles triangle  
🗑
SAS -->   LL  
🗑
ASA -->   LA  
🗑
ASS -->   HL  
🗑
AAS -->   LA or HA  
🗑
the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle =   180 degrees  
🗑
if 2 angles of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles of another triangle, then   the third angles are congruent  
🗑
remote interior angles   farthest away from exterior angle, sum equals the exterior angle  
🗑
exterior angles   angle formed from a line extended out from the base of a triangle (makes linear pair with non-remote interior angle)  
🗑
corollary   a statement that can easily be proven using a theorem (in between a postulate and a theorem)  
🗑
proof with angles or segments in the prove   last step is CPCTC  
🗑
proof with triangles in the prove   last step is a reason like SAS or AAS, etc.  
🗑
2 steps needed in every right triangle proof   def of perpendicular, and def of right triangle  
🗑
base   noncongruent side of isosceles triangle  
🗑
vertex   where the legs intersect  
🗑
base angles   formed where legs intersect base, congruent  
🗑
steps in coordinate geometry proof   1. draw an accurate figure on graph 2. use tools to make necessary calculations 3. write a conclusion based on your results  
🗑
tips for drawing a good diagram for a coordinate geometry proof   use as many zeroes as possible, use as few variables as possible  
🗑
distance formula   length, equal, congruent in prove  
🗑
slope formula   parallel, perpendicular, right angle in prove  
🗑
midpoint formula   half, bisect in prove  
🗑
overlapping triangle proof tips   use more than 1 pair of congruent triangles, first pair uses given symbols/information, redraw triangles you are using separated, use CPCTC sometimes more than once, look for common sides or angles  
🗑


   

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.
