Geometry Fall Semester Exam Review 2024

Front

What is a median in a triangle?

Back

A median is a line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

Front

What is an altitude in a triangle?

Back

An altitude is a perpendicular line segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.

Front

What is a midsegment in a triangle?

Back

A midsegment is a line segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.

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 are alternate exterior angles?

Back

Alternate exterior angles are pairs of angles that lie outside the two lines and on opposite sides of the transversal.

Front

What are same side interior angles?

Back

Same side interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between the two lines and on the same side of the transversal.

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect; they are always equal.

Front

How do you find the median of a triangle?

Back

To find the median, identify the vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side, then draw a line segment connecting them.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

Corresponding angles are equal when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

Front

What is the relationship between alternate exterior angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

Alternate exterior angles are equal when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
