22
Q

Level 1 - Always

What is an equilateral triangle?

A

All 3 sides are equal and all angles equal 60

23
Q

Level 1 - Always

What is an isosceles triangle?

A

2 sides are equal and 2 angles are equal

24
Q

Level 1 - Always

What is a scalene triangle?

A

3 sides and 3 angles are all different

25
# **Level 3 - Sometimes** What is the Third Side of a Triangle rule?
The sum of the 2 shorter sides of a triangle, a and b, must be greater than the longest side of a triangle, c. a + b > c
26
# **Level 3 - Sometimes** Side Lengths and Angles in a Triangle
The smallest side in a triangle is opposite the smallest angle. The largest side in a triangle is opposite the largest angle.
27
# **Level 3 - Sometimes** Acute triangle - Obtuse triangle - Right triangle -
Acute - all angles are less than 90 Obtuse - 1 angle greater than 90 Right - 1 angle equal to 90
28
# **Level 3 - Sometimes** Area of an Equilateral Triangle
29
# **Level 3 - Sometimes** Half of an Equilateral Triangle is?
Cutting an equilateral triangle in half creates two 30-60-90 right triangles
30
# **Level 3 - Sometimes** Tangent Lines and Circles
A tangent line to a circle is a straight line that just touches the circle at one point. The angle between the radius of the circle and the tangent line is always 90. Two tangent lines to a circle from a single point are congruent.
31
# **Level 3 - Sometimes** Perimeters and Maximizing the Enclosed Area
Given a certain perimeter, a circle always maximizes the enclosed area. If you must make a rectangular shape (more common on ACT), a square maximizes the enclosed area. E.g. if you have 40 feet of fence to close a yard and are not given an answer choice that is a circle, a square with side lengths of 10 feet gives you the largest possible enclosed area (100 square feet).
32
# **Level 3 - Sometimes** Pythagorean Theorem and Types of Triangles
33
Formula for Slope
34
Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Parallel lines = same slop Perpendicular lines = negative reciprocals
35
Slope-Intercept Form
*y = mx + b* where *m* is slope and *b* is y-intercept
36
Point-Slope Form
## Footnote First calculate the slope, then isolate the y variable to find the intercept. Or you can plug coordinates of a point into the Slope-Intercept Form to solve for b.
37
Standard Form of a Line
## Footnote Convert to slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept

Midpoint Formula of a Line

How to Solve for Intercepts
To solve for the x-intercept, set y = 0 To solve for the y-intercept, set x = 0
