Geometry: Chapter 3 Flashcards
(38 cards)
alternate interior angles (AIA)
- opposite sides of t
- between L1 and L2
- non-adjacent
transversal
A line that intersects two coplanar lines at two distinct points.
same-side interior angles
- same side as t
* between L1 and L2
corresponding angles
- same side of t
* both above or both below L1 and L2
alternate exterior angles
- opposite sides of t
- outside L1 and L2
- non-adjacent
Corresponding Angles Postulate
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are congruent.
Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
If a transverse intersects two parallel lines, then alternate interior angles are congruent.
Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem
If a transverse intersects two parallel lines, then same-side interior angles are supplementary.
Two-column proof
A proof where statements and reasons are aligned in columns.
Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate
If two lines and a transversal form corresponding angles that are congruent, the the two lines are parallel.
Converse of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
If toe lines and a transversal form alternate interior angles that are congruent, then the two lines are parallel.
Converse of the Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem
If two lines and a transversal form same-side interior angles that are supplementary, the the two lines are parallel.
Flow proof
A proof where arrows show the logical connections between the statements.
Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem
The sum of the measure of a triangle is 180.
Equiangular triangle
All angles are congruent
Acute triangle
All angles are acute
Right triangle
Triangle with one right angle.
Obtuse triangle
Triangle with one obtuse angle
Equilateral triangle
Triangle where all sides are congruent.
Isosceles
Triangle with at least two congruent sides.
Scalene
Triangle with no congruent sides.
Exterior angle of a polygon
An angle formed by a side and an extension of an adjacent side of a polygon.
Remote interior angles
The two nonadjacent interior angles corresponding to each exterior angle of a triangle.
Triangle Exterior Angle Theorem
The measure of each exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the measures of its two remote interior angles.
