Geometry Unit 3 Review

Front

What is the definition of parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that never meet; they are always the same distance apart.

Front

What is the definition of transversal?

Back

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

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position at each intersection where a transversal crosses two lines.

Front

What are alternate interior angles?

Back

Alternate interior angles are pairs of angles that lie between two lines and on opposite sides of a transversal.

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal.

Front

What is the sum of supplementary angles?

Back

The sum of supplementary angles is 180 degrees.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm' in the equation of a line (y = mx + b).

Front

What is the relationship between the slopes of parallel lines?

Back

The slopes of parallel lines are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines?

Back

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Front

If two angles are complementary, what is their sum?

Back

The sum of complementary angles is 90 degrees.
