Question | Answer |
---|---|
Acute Triangle | A triangle for which all interior angles measure less than 90 degrees |
Alternate Exterior Angles | Exterior angles on alternate sides of the transversal |
Alternate Interior Angles | Interior angles on alternate sides of the transversal |
Altitude of Triangle | Straight line through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the base of a triangle |
Angle Bisector Theorem (ABT) | Concerning the lengths of the two segments that a triangle's side is divided into by a line that bisects the opposite angle & equates their lengths to the lengths of the other sides of the triangle |
ABT Converse | If a point is equidistant from the sides of an angle, then it is on the angle bisector |
Angle | Formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle |
Arc | A closed segment of a differential curve in the two-dimensional plane |
Area | Any particular extent of space or surface |
Bisector | A line that divides something into two equal parts |
Center of a Polygon | In a rotation, the point that does not move. The rest of the plane rotates around this fixed point |
Centroid of a Triangle | The point where the three medians of the triangle intersect |
Circumcenter of a triangle | The point where the three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meet |
Circumference | A complete circular arc; also the distance around the outside of a circle |
Circumscribed | A geometric figure that is drawn around another geometric figure as to touch all its vertices |
Combination | A way of selecting several things out of a larger group, where order does not matter |
Common Parts | Informational language that describes similarities, differences, parts, and other attributes of two and three dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orentation |
Compass | An instrument for drawing circles and arcs and measuring distances between points, consisting of two arms linked by a moving joint |
Compliment Probability | In the probability theory, the compliment of any event A is the event [not A], i.e. the event that A does not occur |
Complementary Angles | Two angles that add up to 90 degrees |
Composition | The combining of distinct parts or elements to create a whole |
Compound Event | An event whose probability of occurrence depends upon the probability of occurrence of two or more independent events |
Compression | To reduce a shape in size while retaining proportions |
Conditional Probability | The probability that an event will occur, when another event is known to occur or to have occured |
Conditional Probability Formula | The conditional probability of A given B is denoted by P(AIB) and defined by the formula P(AIB)=P(AB) P(B), provided P(B)>o |
Congruence by AAS, ASA, SAS, SSS | Triangles are congruent if any pair of corresponding sides and their included angles are equal in both triangles |
Congruent | Identical in form |
Construction | The drawing of various shapes using only a straight edge and compass (no measurement of lengths or angles is allowed) |
Coordinates | On the coordinate plane, the pair of numbers giving the location of a point (ordered pair) |
Corresponding Angles | The angles in matching corners of a transversal |
