Inductive reasoningbased on a pattern
Conjectureeducated guess coming from inductive reasoning
Counter exampleDisproving conjecture
Deductive ReasoningUsing logic to draw conclusions from given facts
TheoremAny statement you can prove
Alternate exterior anglesAngles that lie on the opposite side of the transversal outside the parallel lines
Alternate interior anglesNon-adjacent angles that lie on opposite sides of the transveral between the lines
Same-side interior anglesAngles that lie on the same side of the transversal between the parallel lines
Corresponding AnglesAngles that lie on opposite sides of the transveral (aaah idk!)
TransversalA line that intersects two parallel coplanar lines
Parallel linesCoplanar lines that never intersect
Parallel planesplanes that never interect
Perpendicular bisectora line perpendicular to a segment at the it's midpoint
Point slope formy-y=m(x-x)
Risethe difference in the y values on 2 points on the line
Runthe difference in the x values on 2points on the line
Skew lineslines that are not parallel but never intersect
Slopethe ratio of rise to run (y-y) over (x-x) equation: y1 - y2 ove x1 - x2
Slope intercept formy=mx+b
Triangle Sum theoremThe sum of all the angle measures of a triangle is 180 degrees
Acute angles of a right triangleThe acute angles of a right triangle that are complimentary
Equilateral TriangleWhen all the angle measures in an equalateral triangle are 60 degrees
Exterior anglesthe measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its remote intirior angles
Interiorthe set of all inside points
Acute TrianglesAll angles are less than 60 degrees
CPCTCCorresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent
Isosceles Triangletwo sides and two angles of a triangle are congruent
Auxiliary linesa line that is added in aid of a proof
Equiangular TriangleAll the angles are congruent
Legs of an isoscelescongruent sides in a isosceles triangle
Basebottom of a triangle
Obtuse triangleOne of the angles in a triangle is larger than 90 degrees
Right TriangleOne of the angles on a triangle is equal to 90
Right angleAn angle that is exactly 90 degrees
Coordinate ProofA style of proof that uses geometry and algebra
Included AngleAn angle created by two adjacent sides
Scalene TriangleAll the measures of the sides are different
CorollaryThe theorem that follows right after another theorem
Included sideA common side of two executive angles
Triangle RigidityIf the side lengths are given there is only one specific shape
Corresponding anglesAngles that are congruent
VertexThe angle formed by two legs
Corresponding sidessides that are congruent
Interior angleAn inside angle
Exterior angleAn outside angle
Remote intirior angleAn interior angle that is not adjacent to the extirior angle
two anglesIf two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle then the 3rd angles is congruent
Parallel sides TheoremIf 2 lines have the same slope than there parallel.
Perpendicular Lines Theoremin a coordinate plane, two nonvertical lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is -1. Verical and horisantal lines are perpendicular
Corresponding angles PostulateIf two parallel lines are cut by a transversal then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.
Alternate Extirior angles theoremif two parallel lines are but by a transversal then the alternate interior lines angles are congruent.
Same side intirior anglesif two parallel lines are but by a transversal then the same side interior angles are supplementary.
