Drawing Conclusions from Given Info

Front

What does it mean for a point to be the midpoint of a line segment?

Back

A midpoint divides a line segment into two equal parts, meaning the lengths of the segments on either side of the midpoint are congruent.

Front

If C is the midpoint of BD, what can be concluded about segments BC and DC?

Back

BC is congruent to DC.

Front

What is the definition of congruence in geometry?

Back

Congruence means that two figures or segments have the same shape and size.

Front

What does it mean for a line segment to be bisected?

Back

A line segment is bisected when it is divided into two equal parts by a point or line.

Front

If TP is the bisector of MR, what can be concluded about segments ME and RE?

Back

ME is congruent to RE.

Front

What is the reflexive property of congruence?

Back

The reflexive property states that any geometric figure is congruent to itself.

Front

If two angles are congruent, what does that imply about their measures?

Back

If two angles are congruent, their measures are equal.

Front

What is the definition of an angle bisector?

Back

An angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles.

Front

How can you determine if two segments are congruent using a diagram?

Back

You can determine if two segments are congruent by measuring their lengths or by observing markings that indicate congruence in the diagram.

Front

What is the significance of congruent angles in geometric proofs?

Back

Congruent angles can be used to establish relationships and prove other geometric properties or theorems.
