Equations in Geometry

Front

What is an equation in geometry?

Back

An equation in geometry is a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions, often involving geometric figures and their properties.

Front

What are complementary angles?

Back

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.

Front

What are supplementary angles?

Back

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.

How do you find the value of x in an equation?

Back

To find the value of x, isolate x on one side of the equation using algebraic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Front

What is the sum of the angles in a triangle?

Back

The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

If two angles are complementary and one angle measures 25 degrees, what is the measure of the other angle?

Back

The other angle measures 65 degrees (90 - 25 = 65).

Front

If two angles are supplementary and one angle measures 110 degrees, what is the measure of the other angle?

Back

The other angle measures 70 degrees (180 - 110 = 70).

Front

What is the equation to find the missing angle in a triangle if two angles are known?

Back

The equation is x = 180 - (angle1 + angle2).

Front

What does it mean to solve for x in an equation?

Back

To solve for x means to determine the value of x that makes the equation true.

Front

What is the relationship between the angles in a right triangle?

Back

In a right triangle, one angle is 90 degrees, and the sum of the other two angles is 90 degrees.
