Geometry Fall Semester Exam

Front

What is the distance formula used to find the length of a line segment between two points L(x1, y1) and M(x2, y2)?

Back

Front

Define skew lines in geometry.

Back

Skew lines are lines that do not intersect and are not parallel. They exist in different planes.

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 corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in similar positions at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others.

Front

How do you find the measure of an angle when given the measures of the other angles in a triangle?

Back

Subtract the sum of the known angles from 180 degrees.

Front

What is the definition of alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between two lines and on opposite sides of a transversal.

Front

What is the formula to solve for x in a linear equation?

Back

To solve for x, isolate x on one side of the equation using inverse operations.

Front

What is the relationship between parallel lines and corresponding angles?

Back

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are equal.

Front

What is the definition of a transversal in geometry?

Back

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

Front

How do you classify angles formed by two intersecting lines?

Back

Angles formed by two intersecting lines can be classified as vertical angles, adjacent angles, or linear pairs.
