Review: Geometry

Front

What is the result of reflecting a point across the x-axis?

Back

The y-coordinate of the point changes sign, while the x-coordinate remains the same.

Front

What does the acronym SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

Side-Side-Side: If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does the acronym SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

Side-Angle-Side: If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is a plane in geometry?

Back

A flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions.

Front

What is the coordinate of the point located 5 units right and 3 units up from the origin?

Back

(5, 3)

Front

What is a line segment?

Back

A part of a line that has two endpoints.

Front

What is a ray in geometry?

Back

A part of a line that has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction.

Front

What is the difference between a line and a line segment?

Back

A line extends infinitely in both directions, while a line segment has two endpoints.
