Semester Test-Fall

Front

What does it mean for a point to be 'on the angle'?

Back

A point is 'on the angle' if it lies exactly on the rays that form the angle.

Front

Can the numbers 8, 2, and 9 be the measures of the sides of a triangle?

Back

Yes, they can be the sides of a triangle because they satisfy the triangle inequality theorem.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be 'exterior' to an angle?

Back

A point is 'exterior' if it lies outside the rays that form the angle.

Front

What is a congruence statement in geometry?

Back

A congruence statement indicates that two geometric figures are congruent, meaning they have the same shape and size.

Front

What is the triangle inequality theorem?

Back

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Front

If two sides of a triangle measure 12 and 5, what is the range of possible measures for the third side?

Back

The range is 7 < s < 17.

Front

What is the definition of an interior point in relation to an angle?

Back

An interior point is a point that lies within the angle formed by the two rays.

Front

How do you determine if three lengths can form a triangle?

Back

Check if the sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than the length of the third side.

Front

What is the significance of naming angles in congruence statements?

Back

Naming angles helps to identify corresponding angles in congruent triangles, which is essential for proving congruence.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of a triangle and its angles?

Back

In a triangle, the larger the angle, the longer the opposite side; conversely, the shorter the angle, the shorter the opposite side.
