Geometric Constructions Review 2

Front

What is the bisector of a given angle?

Back

A line that divides the angle into two equal parts.

Front

What does the symbol ≅ represent?

Back

It represents that two figures are congruent, meaning they have the same shape and size.

Front

What is the construction for creating a parallel line to a point not on the line?

Back

Using a compass and straightedge, you can create a line through the point that does not intersect the original line.

Front

What is an angle bisector?

Back

A ray that divides an angle into two equal angles.

Front

What is the perpendicular bisector of a line segment?

Back

A line that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint, dividing it into two equal parts.

Front

What is the definition of congruent angles?

Back

Angles that have the same measure.

Front

How do you construct a perpendicular line to a point not on a line?

Back

Draw a circle centered at the point, then draw two intersecting lines from the points where the circle intersects the original line.

Front

What is the purpose of geometric constructions?

Back

To create precise figures using only a compass and straightedge.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Angles that are in the same position on different parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Front

What is the difference between equal and congruent?

Back

Equal refers to the same value, while congruent refers to the same shape and size.
