Geometry Benchmark Review 1st Qtr

Front

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, a criterion for triangle congruence where two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on different parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Front

What are Alternate Interior Angles?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate the area of a square?

Back

The area of a square is calculated by squaring the length of one of its sides (Area = side²).

Front

If the area of a square is 64 square inches, what is the length of one side?

Back

The length of one side is 8 inches, since 8² = 64.

Front

What is the formula for the perimeter of a square?

Back

The perimeter of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by 4 (Perimeter = 4 × side).

Front

What is the value of x in a rectangle if the opposite sides are equal?

Back

In a rectangle, opposite sides are equal, so if one side is known, the other will have the same length.

Front

What does HL stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

HL stands for Hypotenuse-Leg, a criterion for triangle congruence applicable to right triangles.

Front

What is the difference between SAS and AAS in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS (Side-Angle-Side) requires two sides and the included angle to be equal, while AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) requires two angles and a non-included side to be equal.

Front

What are Consecutive Interior Angles?

Back

Consecutive Interior Angles are pairs of angles that lie on the same side of the transversal and between the two parallel lines.
