Geometry Midterm Review - Mr. Lennox

Front

What are two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point?

Back

Parallel lines

Front

How can you determine the distance between two points?

Back

Use the midpoint formula or graph the points and use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Front

What is the contrapositive of the statement: If p, then q?

Back

If ~ (not) q, then ~ (not) p.

Front

What is the reflection of the point (6, -3) over the y-axis?

Back

(-6, -3)

Front

What is the midpoint between the points (3, -1) and (7, -5)?

Back

(5, -3)

Front

Define perpendicular lines.

Back

Lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees).

Front

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

Back

In a right triangle, a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.

Front

What is the formula for the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)

Front

What does it mean for lines to be skew?

Back

Lines that do not intersect and are not parallel, existing in different planes.

Front

What is the definition of a transversal?

Back

A line that intersects two or more lines at different points.
