Back

A postulate is a statement that is accepted as true without proof.

Front

What does the Symmetric Property of Equality state?

Back

If g = h, then h = g.

Front

What can be concluded from the Vertical Angles Theorem if ∠1 and ∠3 are vertical angles?

Back

∠1 ≅ ∠3.

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Front

What does 'Given' refer to in geometric proofs?

Back

'Given' refers to the information that is provided in the problem.

Front

What is a theorem?

Back

A theorem is a statement that has been proven based on previously established statements.

Front

What is the Transitive Property of Equality?

Back

If a = b and b = c, then a = c.

Front

What is the Subtraction Property of Equality?

Back

If a = b, then a - c = b - c.

Front

What is the Multiplication Property of Equality?

Back

If a = b, then ac = bc.

Front

What is a linear pair of angles?

Back

A linear pair of angles are two adjacent angles that form a straight line.
