Geometry EOC Review

Front

What is the AA similarity theorem?

Back

The AA similarity theorem states that if two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What does SAS stand for in geometry?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, a postulate that states if two sides of a triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are equal, then the triangles are similar.

Front

What is the definition of a midpoint?

Back

A midpoint is a point that divides a line segment into two equal parts.

Front

How do you find the coordinates of a midpoint?

Back

To find the midpoint of a segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), use the formula: ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

Front

What is the definition of complementary angles?

Back

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.

Front

What is the definition of supplementary angles?

Back

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What does the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) congruence postulate state?

Back

The SAS congruence postulate states that if two sides of a triangle are equal to two sides of another triangle and the included angle is equal, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) congruence postulate?

Back

The ASA congruence postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence postulate?

Back

The SSS congruence postulate states that if all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) theorem?

Back

The HL theorem states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
