Q

Whenever you have different units for comparison in both the numerator and the denominator. You should ______ ______ _____ _____ in the numerator and denominator of both compared rates (fractions.)

Study These Flashcards
A

Write the units out

24
Q

The rates (fractions) with different units in the numerator and denominator DO NOT_____ _____

25
A rate with a denominator of 1.
Unit rate
26
In the context of unit rates the word\_\_\_\_\_ translates in to division
Per
27
To make a rate a unit rate...
1) Divide the numerator by the denominator 2) Make the quotient the Numerator 3) Make "1" the denominator. 3600 ft 12 ft - = - 300sec 1 sec
28
How to find unit prices...
1) Divide the numerator by the denominator 2) Make the quotient the Numerator 3) Make "1" the denominator. 4) Add the unit names (number) Unit name - (number) Unit name
29
In economics a unit rate is also known as
Unit price or Money per item or Price per unit
30
You can use unit prices to determine the ____ \_\_\_\_\_
Better Buy
31
A statement that two ratios or rates are equal
Proportion
32
The rule of proportion
IF A C - & - B D are two ratios then A C - = - B D is a proportion.
33
To emphasize a proportion we say...
A is to B as is C is to D
34
In two separate proportions the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_of one numerator must be the same as the other numerator. this also goes for the Denominator.
Unit.
35
The first way to compare to ratios to see if they are proportionate...
1) Write both in simplest form 2) Compare 3) If both are the same they are proportionate. Ratio 1 (75/100) = 3/4 Ratio 2 (15/20) Both ratios reduce to 3/4 thus they are proportionate.
36
The second way compare to ratios to see if they are proportionate...
1) Cross multiply the two ratios diagonally 2) If they both result in the same cross product they are proportionate.
37
The result of diagonally multiplying two ratios
Cross Product
38
To solve for x in two proportions...
1) Cross multiply 2) Place each cross product on separate sides of an equation 3) Solve for x 2/3 = x/30----\> 2\*30=3\*x
39
When two triangles have the same shape and the same size.
Congruence (Congruent)
40
If two angles have the same measure
Corresponding
41
Corresponding angles are marked the same way with a ____ \_\_\_\_.
Tic Mark
42
A straight line mark that intersects an arc used to denote the correspondence of angles in different/separate triangles. or that intersects a side to denote the correspondence of side lengths in different/separate triangles.
Tic mark
43
The tic mark can also be used as a _____ tic, or \_\_\_\_tic as or none for the third side, as long as each corresponds to the side of both triangles.
Single/ Double
44
The rounded line that the tic intersects
An arc
45
In congruent triangles the measures of corresponding angles are ______ and the length of corresponding sides are also \_\_\_\_\_\_
Equal
46
How to indicate angles with equal measure
∠ABC and ∠DEF
47
How to indicate sides with equal length
\_\_ \_\_ AB and CD
48
How to determine whether two triangles are congruent. A,S,A
1) If both triangles have two equal angles and 2) The length between both pairs of equal angles is also equal.
49
How to determine whether two triangles are congruent. S,A,S
1) If both triangles have two equal sides and 2) The angle between both pairs of equal sides is also equal.
50
How to determine whether two triangles are congruent. S,S,S
If both triangles have 3 equal lengths that correspond to each other.
51
When two triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size they are...
similar
52
In similar triangles the angles are \_\_\_\_
equal
53
In similar triangles the sides are\_\_\_\_\_
In proportion
54
What are the three ways to to prove congruencet???
Angle,Side,Angle Side,Side,Side Side, Side Angle
55
What is the one way not to determine congrunce?
Angle,Angle, Angle
56
