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*C=B*C |
Division Property of Equality | If A=B 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 | If A=B then B can replace A |
Distributive Property | A(B+C)=AB+AC |
Inductive Reasoning | Reasoning based on observed patterns |
Conjecture | A conclusion you reach from inductive reasoning |
Deductive Reasoning | Reasoning logically from given statements or facts to a conclusion |
Segment Addition Postulate | AB+BC=AC |
Angle Addition Postulate | M<AOB+M<BOC=M<AOC |
Vertical Angles Theorem | Vertical Angles are always congruent |
Midpoint Theorem | If M is the midpoint of line AB then line AM is congruent to line AB |
Congruent Complements Theorem | If <1 and <2 are complements and <2 and <3 are complements, then <1 is congruent to <3 |
Congruent Supplements Theorem | If <1 and <2 are supplements and <2 and <3 are supplements, then <1 is congruent to <3 |
Definition of Congruence | Line AM is congruent to line MB then AM is congruent to MB |
Definition of.... | Used to prove something. (Example: Definition of Linear Pair) |
