educated guess based on observations
|
|
inductive reasoning
|
looking at patterns and making conjectures
|
|
counterexample
|
proves a conjecture false
|
|
ray
|
part of a line with an initial point
|
|
opposite rays
|
two rays with the same initial point that go in oppoisite directions
|
|
postulate
|
an unproven, accepted rule
|
|
conditional statement
p -> q |
a statement that includes a hypothesis and conclusion
"if", ... "then"... |
|
converse statement
q -> p |
reverses conditional statement
|
|
inverse statement
~p -> ~q |
negates the conditional statement's hypothesis and conclusion
|
|
contrapositive statement
~q -> ~p |
negates converse statement
|
|
biconditional statement
|
"if and only if"
|
|
reflexive property
|
a=a
|
|
symmetric property
|
if a=b, b=a
|
|
transitive property
|
if a=b and b=c, then a=c
|
|
addition/subtraction property
|
if a=b, then a+c = a+b
if a=b, then a-c = a-b |
|
multiplication property
|
if a=b, a x b=a x c, and if c doesnt = 0, a/c = b/c
|
|
substitution property
|
if a=b, a can be replaced by b in any equation or expression
|
|
distributive property
|
a(b+c)=ab+ac
|
|

|
all congruent sides
|
|
isosceles
|
two or more congruent sides
|
|
scalene
|
no congruent sides
|
|
adjacent sides
|
two sides of a polygon with a common vertex
|
|
hypotenuse
|
side of the right triangle opposite the right angle
|
|
HL of RT TRIANGLES
[hypotenuse-leg] |
If the hypotenuse and leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then triangles are congruent
|
|
median
|
segment in a triange that goes from a vertex to the midpoint of the side opposite
|
|
centroid
|
point of concurrency for medians
[always inside the triangle |
|
altitude

|
orthocenter
|
point of concurrency for altitudes of a triangle
|
|
perpendicular bisector
|
intersects a segment at its midpoint and is perpendicular to the segment
|
|
Angle Bisector Theorem
|
If a point is on the bisector of an angle, then it is equidistant from the sides of the angle
|
|

|
three or more lines interseting at only one point
|
|
incenter
|
point of concurrency for angle bisectors
