What is the definition of a parallel line?

Back

A line that runs alongside another line at the same distance apart and never intersects.

Front

What does it mean for two triangles to be congruent?

Back

Two triangles are congruent if they have the same size and shape, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the Angle Bisector Theorem?

Back

The angle bisector of an angle divides it into two equal angles.

Front

What does the term 'bisect' mean in geometry?

Back

To cut something into two congruent pieces or in half.

Front

What is the definition of corresponding angles?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of a perpendicular line?

Back

A line that intersects another line at a right angle (90 degrees).

Front

What is the purpose of constructing a perpendicular line to a point not on the line?

Back

To create a line that meets the original line at a right angle from a specified point.

Front

What is the definition of a proof in geometry?

Back

A logical argument that uses definitions, properties, and previously proven statements to show that a conclusion is true.

Front

What is the significance of the reflexive property in geometry?

Back

It states that any geometric figure is congruent to itself (e.g., AD=AD).

Front

What are the properties of congruence?

Back
