Geometry SOL Review Strand 1

Front

What is the Law of Syllogism?

Back

The Law of Syllogism states that if 'If p, then q' and 'If q, then r' are true statements, then 'If p, then r' is also true.

Front

What is the Law of Detachment?

Back

The Law of Detachment states that if 'If p, then q' is a true statement and p is true, then q must also be true.

Front

How do you find the midpoint between two points?

Back

To find the midpoint between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), use the formula: Midpoint = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

Front

What are supplementary angles?

Back

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is reflected across the x-axis?

Back

When a point (x, y) is reflected across the x-axis, its coordinates become (x, -y).

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is reflected across the y-axis?

Back

When a point (x, y) is reflected across the y-axis, its coordinates become (-x, y).

Front

What is the distance formula in geometry?

Back

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula: Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What is a transversal in geometry?

Back

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at different points.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on different parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Front

What is the definition of parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that never meet and are always the same distance apart.
