Semester 1 Exam Review

Front

Solve for x: 2x - 3 = 0

Back

x = 3/2

Front

What is a perpendicular bisector?

Back

A line that divides a segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle.

Front

What is the first step in constructing a perpendicular bisector?

Back

Place the compass point at one endpoint of the segment and draw an arc above and below the segment.

Front

What is a transversal?

Back

A line that intersects two or more lines at different points.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding angles when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal?

Back

Corresponding angles are equal.

Front

What is the definition of parallel lines?

Back

Lines in a plane that never meet and are always the same distance apart.

Front

What is the angle bisector?

Back

A line that divides an angle into two equal angles.

Front

What is the formula for finding the midpoint of a segment?

Back

Midpoint M = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2) where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the endpoints.

Front

What is the construction for drawing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line?

Back

Use a compass to create equal arcs from the point and the line, then connect the intersection points.

Front

What is the definition of a line segment?

Back

A part of a line that has two endpoints.
