polygon angle formulas

sum of the interior angles: 180(n-2)

measure of an interior angle: [180(n-2)]÷n

measure of an exterior angle: 360/n

2

axiom (points on a ray)

on a ray, there is exactly one point at a given distance from the endpoint of the ray

New cards
3

median

a segment in a triangle from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side

New cards
4

altitude

the perpendicular segment in a triangle from a vertex to tje line that contains the opposite side

New cards
5

perpendicular bisector

a line or ray or segment that is perpendicular to the segment at its midpoint

New cards
6

theorems about perpendicular bisectors/angle bisectors

if a point lies on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, than the point is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment

if a point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment, then the point lies on the perpendicular bisector of the segment

if a point lies on the bisector of an angle, then the point is equidistant from the sides of the angle

if a point is equidistant from the sides of the angle, then it lies on the bisector of the angle

theorems about triangle inequalities

if two sides in a triangle are unequal, then the angle opposite the larger side is greater than the angle opposite the smaller side

if two angles in a triangle are unequal, then the side opposite the larger angle is greater than the side opposite the smaller angle

the sum of the lengths of any 2 sides of a triangle has to be greater than the length of the third side

New cards
9

corollaries about triangle inequalities

the perpendicular segment from a point to a line is the shortest segment from the point to the line

the perpendicular segment from a point to a plane is the shortest segment from the point to the plane

theorems about parallelograms

a diagonal of a parallelogram separates the parallelogram into two congruent triangles

opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent

opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent

the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other

consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary

New cards
11

ways to prove a quadrilateral is a parallelogram

if both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram

if one pair of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are both congruent and parallel, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram

if the diagonals bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram

if both pairs of opposite angles in a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram

New cards
12

theorems about parallel lines

if 2 lines are parallel, then all the points on one line are equidistant from the other line

if 3 parallel lines cut off congruent segments on one transversal, they cut off congruent segments on every transversal

a line that contains the midpoint of one side of a triangle and is parallel to another side passes through the midpoint of the third side

the segment that joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to and half the measure of the third side

13

rectangle definitions

a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles

a rectangle is a parallelogram with a right angle

New cards
14

rhombus definitions

a rhombus is a quadrilateral with four congruent sides

a rhombus is a parallelogram with a pair of consecutive sides congruent

New cards
15

square definitions

a square is a quadrilateral with four right angles and four congruent sides

a square is a rectangle with congruent adjacent sides

a square is a rhombus with four right angles

a square is a parallelogram with four congruent sides and four right angles

New cards
16

rectangle theorem

the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent

New cards
17

right triangle theorem

the midpoint of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equidistant from the three vertices

New cards
18

rhombus theorems

the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular

each diagonal of a rhombus bisects two angles of the rhombus

the area of a rhombus = 1/2 • (m. 1st diagonal) • (m. 2nd diagonal)

New cards
19

trapezoid definitons

trapezoid - a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides

isosceles trapezoid - a trapezoid with congruent legs

median of a trapezoid - the segment that joins the midpoint of the legs

New cards
20

trapezoid theorems

base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent

the diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent

the median of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases and has a length equal to the average of the base lengths
