Geometry Chapter 6 Review

Front

What is the smallest angle in a triangle?

Back

The smallest angle in a triangle is the angle opposite the shortest side.

Front

What is the length of segment DC if it measures 4 units?

Back

DC = 4 units.

Front

Which types of lines do NOT have to go through the vertex of a triangle?

Back

Perpendicular bisectors do not have to go through the vertex.

Front

If the missing length x is found to be 15, what does that represent?

Back

x = 15 represents the length of a side in a geometric figure.

Front

What is the measure of angle JKM if m< JKM = 38 degrees?

Back

m< JKM = 38 degrees.

Front

Define an altitude in a triangle.

Back

An altitude is a line segment from a vertex to the opposite side, forming a right angle.

Front

What is a median in a triangle?

Back

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

Front

What is an angle bisector?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between the sides and angles in a triangle?

Back

In a triangle, the larger the angle, the longer the opposite side.

Front

How do you find the length of a side in a right triangle?

Back

Use the Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c².
