Unit 2 Geometry Properties

Front

What is the Symmetric Property?

Back

If a = b, then b = a. This property states that if one quantity equals another, then the second quantity equals the first.

Front

What is the Definition of Complementary Angles?

Back

Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees.

Front

What is the Subtraction Property?

Back

If a = b, then a - c = b - c. This property allows you to subtract the same value from both sides of an equation.

Front

What is the Segment Addition Postulate?

Back

If point B is between points A and C, then AB + BC = AC.

Front

What is the Addition Property?

Back

If a = b, then a + c = b + c. This property allows you to add the same value to both sides of an equation.

Front

What is the Reflexive Property?

Back

For any number a, a = a. This property states that any quantity is equal to itself.

Front

What is the Transitive Property?

Back

If a = b and b = c, then a = c. This property allows you to link equalities.

Front

What is the Definition of a Midpoint?

Back

A point that divides a segment into two equal parts.

Front

What is the Complements Theorem?

Back

If two angles are complementary to the same angle (or to congruent angles), then they are congruent.

Front

What is the Congruent Complements Theorem?

Back

If two angles are complementary to the same angle, then they are congruent.
