Front

What is a counterexample?

Back

A counterexample is an example that disproves a statement or proposition.

Front

What is the definition of a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.

Front

What is the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) theorem?

Back

The HL theorem states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the Law of Syllogism?

Back

The Law of Syllogism states that if 'If p, then q' and 'If q, then r' are both true, then 'If p, then r' is also true.

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal.

Front

What does it mean for angles to be complementary?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean for angles to be supplementary?

Back

Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

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.

Front

What is the definition of alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines.
