Geometry Unit 1 Mid Review

Front

What is a regular polygon?

Back

A regular polygon is a polygon with all sides and all angles equal.

Front

Are all squares regular polygons?

Back

Yes, all squares are regular polygons because they have equal sides and angles.

Front

What is the definition of a perpendicular line?

Back

A perpendicular line is a line that intersects another line at a right angle (90 degrees).

Front

How do you construct a line perpendicular to another line through a given point?

Back

To construct a perpendicular line through a point, use a compass to create arcs from the point that intersect the original line, then connect the point to the intersection points.

Front

What is the relationship between parallel lines?

Back

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

Front

What is the first step to construct a line parallel to a given line through a point?

Back

The first step is to draw a line through the point that is perpendicular to the given line.

Front

What does it mean for two segments to be congruent?

Back

Two segments are congruent if they have the same length.

Front

What is the purpose of using a compass in geometric constructions?

Back

A compass is used to create arcs and circles, helping to measure distances and create precise angles.

Front

What is the definition of a segment in geometry?

Back

A segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints.

Front

What is the significance of the center in a circle?

Back

The center of a circle is the point that is equidistant from all points on the circle.
