Geometry: Chapter 2 Flashcards
(27 cards)
Hypothesis
The part of a conditional following “if”
Conditional
An if-then statement
Conclusion
The part of a conditional following “then”
Truth value
A conditional can be true or false
Converse
Switches the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional
Biconditional
The combination of a conditional statement and its converse. Contains the words “if and only if”
Deductive reasoning
The process of reasoning logically from given statements to a conclusion.
Law do Detachment
If a conditional is true and its hypothesis is true, then it’s conclusion is true.
Vertical angles
Two angles whose sides form two pairs of opposite rays.
Adjacent angles
To coplanar angles with a common side, a common vertex, and no common interior points.
Complementary angles
Two angles whose measures have the sum of 90
Supplementary angles
Two angles whose measures have the sum of 180
Theorem
The statement you prove true using deductive reasoning.
Paragraph proof
A proof written as sentences in a paragraph
Law of Syllogism
If p –> q and q –> r are true statements, then p –> r is a true statement
Addition Property of Equality
If a=b, then a+c = b+c
Subtraction Property of Equality
If a=b, then a - c = b - c
Multiplication Property of Equality
If a = b! then a x c = b x c
Division Property of Equality
If a = b and c does not = 0, then a/c = b/c
Reflexive Property of Equality
a = a
Symmetric Property of Equality
If a = b, then b = a
Transitive Property of Equality
If a = b and b = c, then a = c
Substitution Property of Equality
If a = b! then b can replace a in any expression.
The Distributive Property
a(b + c) = ab + ac
