Geometry Mid-Term Exam Fall '24

Front

What is the formula to find the distance between two points \(X(x_1, y_1)\) and \(Y(x_2, y_2)\)?

Back

The distance \(\overline{XY}\) is given by the formula: \(d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\).

How do you classify triangles based on their angles?

Back

Triangles can be classified as acute (all angles < 90°), right (one angle = 90°), or obtuse (one angle > 90°).

Front

If \(m\angle1 = (6x + 11)\degree\) and \(m\angle2 = (10x - 9)\degree\), how do you find \(m\angle1\)?

Back

Set \(m\angle1 = m\angle2\) because they are vertical angles, then solve for \(x\) and substitute back to find \(m\angle1\).

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides: \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\).
