Chapter 5

Question 1

Perpendicular bisector theorem (must be word for word)

Answer 1

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

Question 2

example if the point is not

Answer 2

No- if a point (point [whatever point it is]) is not equidistant from the endpoints of a segment ([whatever segment it is]), then it does not lie on the perpendicular bisector

Question 3

example of the point is

Answer 3

Yes- if a point (point) is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment (segment), then it lies on the perpendicular bisector

Question 4

converse of the perpendicular bisector theorem

Answer 4

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

Question 5

triangle check!

Answer 5

if the 2 smallest sides added together are greater than the 3rd side it is a triangle
ex 4,5,20
4+5 = 9
9<20
Not a triangle

Question 6

what is the 2 lengths added together are equal to the third length

Answer 6

not a triangle

Question 7

in a triangle… what is across from what

Answer 7

big side across from the big angle, middle side across from the middle angle, small side across from the small angle

Question 8

def of altitude

Answer 8

height (thing must be very high)

Question 9

an altitude in geometry

Answer 9

a segment which starts at a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side

Question 10

in a right triangle the top altitude is

Answer 10

the side segment

Question 11

in a obtuse triangle the top altitude is

Answer 11

drawn outside of the triangle with a line and then a dotted line connects it the the triangle

Question 12

every triangle has how many altitudes

Answer 12
