Front

What is the ORTHOCENTER of a triangle?

Back

The ORTHOCENTER is the point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect.

Front

What segments intersect at the ORTHOCENTER?

Back

The ORTHOCENTER is the intersection of the altitudes of a triangle.

Front

What is a MEDIAN in a triangle?

Back

A MEDIAN is a line segment that connects a vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

Front

What segments intersect at the CENTROID?

Back

The CENTROID is the intersection of the medians of a triangle.

Front

What is the definition of an ALTITUDE in a triangle?

Back

An ALTITUDE is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.

Front

What is the ASA congruence criterion?

Back

ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) states that 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 is the Reflexive Property?

Back

The Reflexive Property states that any quantity is equal to itself (e.g., a = a).

Front

What is the AAS congruence criterion?

Back

AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) states that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the SAS congruence criterion?

Back

SAS (Side-Angle-Side) states that 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 is the Transitive Property?

Back

The Transitive Property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.
