Geometry Fall Final Review

Front

What is the distance formula in geometry?

Back

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

What is the definition of a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a geometric figure in some way to produce a new figure.

Front

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

What is a rotation in geometry?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, called the center of rotation.

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that slides a figure from one position to another without turning it.

Front

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

What are complementary angles?

Back

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.

Front

What are supplementary angles?

Back

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

Front

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b): a² + b² = c².

Front

What is the definition of a polygon?

Back

A polygon is a closed figure formed by a finite number of straight line segments that do not cross each other.
