What is the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism?

Back

Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh), where l = length, w = width, h = height.

Front

How do you reflect a point over the line y = -x?

Back

To reflect a point (x, y) over the line y = -x, swap the coordinates and change their signs: (x, y) becomes (-y, -x).

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a point when it is rotated 90° counterclockwise about the origin?

Back

The coordinates (x, y) become (-y, x) after a 90° counterclockwise rotation.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, which states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the inverse of a conditional statement?

Back

The inverse of 'If P, then Q' is 'If not P, then not Q'.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

In a right triangle, a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.

Front

What is the difference between congruent and similar figures?

Back

Congruent figures have the same shape and size, while similar figures have the same shape but may differ in size.

Front

What is the formula for the circumference of a circle?

Back

Circumference = 2πr, where r is the radius.

Front

What is the definition of a polygon?

Back

A polygon is a closed figure formed by a finite number of straight line segments.
