Geometry Midterm Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

VOCAB

Segment
Part of a line consisting of two end points and the points between them
Ray
Part of a line consisting of an end point and all the points to one side
Parallel Lines
Coplaner lines that do not intersect
Skew Lines
Non-co­­planer lines that do not intersect
Parallel Planes
Planes that do not intersect
Midpoint
Point on a segment that divides a segment into 2 congruent segments
Acute Angle
Greater than 0 and less than 90
Right angle
90 degree angle
Obtuse angle
Angle greater than 90 but less than 180
Congruent angles
Angles with the same measure
Vertical angles
Opposite angles formed by inters­­ecting lines
Comple­­me­ntary angles
2 angles that add up to 90 degrees
Supple­­mentry angles
2 angles that add up to 180 degrees
Transv­­ersal
A line that intersects 2 or more coplaner lines at distinct points
Acute Triangle
All angles are acute
Right Triangle
One right angle
Obtuse Triangle
One obtuse angle
Equala­­teral Triangle
All sides are congruent
Isosceles Triangle
2 congruent sides
Scalene Triangle
No congruent sides
Circum­­center
The point of concur­­rency of the perpen­­di­cular bisectors of a triangle
Altitude
Height of a triangle
Centroid
Point of concur­­rency of the medians; always lies within the triangle
Quadri­­la­teral
Polygon with 4 sides
Equidi­stant
Exact same distance
Don't kill me if one of these are wrong, I just have what Mrs. Craig taught us.
 

Other things you "­nee­d" to know

Congruence Statements
ASA, SAS, SSS, AAS, HL
Pythag­orean Theorem
FOR RIGHT TRIANGLES ONLY
Theorem 1
Parallel lines are always the same distance apart
Theorem 2
If parallel lines cut one transv­ersal into equal parts, it cuts any transv­ersal into equal parts
