1st Semester Exam Review Honors

Front

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a shape in some way to produce a new shape. Common transformations include translation, rotation, reflection, and dilation.

Front

What is the definition of a linear pair of angles?

Back

A linear pair of angles is a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect. The angles are supplementary, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What does the ASA Congruence Theorem state?

Back

The ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence Theorem states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

How do you solve for x in a segment addition problem?

Back

To solve for x in a segment addition problem, set up an equation based on the lengths of the segments and solve for x.

Front

What is point-slope form of a linear equation?

Back

The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

Front

What is the difference between reflection and rotation?

Back

Reflection flips a shape over a line (the line of reflection), while rotation turns a shape around a fixed point (the center of rotation) by a certain angle.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What does the SSS Congruence Theorem state?

Back

The SSS (Side-Side-Side) Congruence Theorem states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the formula for finding the measure of an angle in a linear pair?

Back

If ∠1 and ∠2 form a linear pair, then m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°.

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that moves every point of a shape the same distance in the same direction.
