Geometry Semester 1 Review - Benson

Front

What is the definition of congruent angles?

Back

Congruent angles are angles that have the same measure.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, a criterion for triangle congruence where all three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of another triangle.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

If two angles are complementary, what is the sum of their measures?

Back

The sum of the measures of complementary angles is 90 degrees.

Front

What is the definition of a transversal in geometry?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Alternate interior angles are congruent when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

Front

What is the definition of a polygon?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is (n-2) * 180 degrees.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle.

Front

What is the definition of supplementary angles?

Back

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