Geometry Unit 3 Test

Front

What is the construction called when drawing a line parallel to a point not on the line?

Back

Parallel line to a point not on the line.

Front

What is the construction of a perpendicular bisector?

Back

A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a segment into two equal parts at a right angle.

Front

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, which means if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, which means if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, which means if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does AAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

AAS stands for Angle-Angle-Side, which means if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and a non-included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is a rigid motion in geometry?

Back

A rigid motion is a transformation that preserves distance and angle measures, such as translations, rotations, and reflections.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent using rigid motions?

Back

If you can map one triangle onto another using a sequence of rigid motions (translations, rotations, reflections), then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the relationship between congruence and rigid motions?

Back

Congruent figures can be transformed into one another through rigid motions without altering their shape or size.

Front

What is the definition of corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines cut by a transversal.
