Geometry ACP Review Semester 1

Front

What does SSS stand for in geometry?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle.

Front

What does SAS stand for in geometry?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle.

Front

What does ASA stand for in geometry?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle.

Front

What is the measure of an angle that is complementary to a 45-degree angle?

Back

The measure of the angle is 45 degrees, since complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.

Front

What is a counterexample?

Back

A counterexample is an example that disproves a statement or proposition.

Front

If an animal is furry, then it is a hamster. What is a counterexample?

Back

A cat is a counterexample because it is furry but not a hamster.

Front

How do you find the equation of a line parallel to a given line?

Back

To find the equation of a line parallel to a given line, use the same slope as the given line and the point through which the new line passes.

Front

What is the slope of the line y = 4x + 3?

Back

The slope of the line is 4.

Front

What is the equation of a line parallel to y = 4x + 3 that passes through the point (-4, -5)?

Back

The equation is y = 4x + 11.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.
