Chapter 6 test triangle relationships

Front

What is a triangle?

Back

A triangle is a polygon with three edges and three vertices. It is one of the basic shapes in geometry.

Front

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

Back

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

Front

What is a right triangle?

Back

A right triangle is a triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees.

Front

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b): a² + b² = c².

Front

What is a perpendicular bisector?

Back

A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle.

Front

What is an altitude in a triangle?

Back

An altitude is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.

Front

What is a median in a triangle?

Back

A median is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

Front

What is a triangle's midsegment?

Back

A midsegment is a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.

Front

What is an angle bisector?

Back

An angle bisector is a line that divides an angle into two equal angles.

Front

What is the formula for finding the hypotenuse of a right triangle?

Back

The formula is a² + b² = c², where c is the length of the hypotenuse.
