Geometry Midterm Vocabulary review - with clues

AB
AdjacentAngle description that gives no information about measure
Complementary2 or more angles whose measures sum to 90 degrees
Linear PairAdjacent, supplementary angles
Supplementary2 or more angles whose measures sum to 180 degrees
BisectAnything that produces two figures of equal measure does this to the original figure
VerticalAngles whose measures are always congruent but who only share 1 common point
Alternate InteriorInside the intersected lines, opposite sides of the transversal
Alternate ExteriorOutside the intersected lines, opposite sides of the transversal
CorrespondingBoth on top or both below the intersected lines, same side of the transversal
Consecutive InteriorInside the intersected lines, same side of the transversal
Segment AdditionPostulate about finding part or whole of the distance between two given points
Angle AdditionPostulate to find part or all of two adjacent shapes formed by rays
MidpointEquidistant from the endpoints
ConditionalAny statement in "if, then" form
CongruentSame size and shape
SimilarSame shape, proportional sized sides
ObtuseA triangle with one angle greater than 90 degrees
AcuteEquiangular triangles are also this angle classification
RightMeasures 90 degress, or has an angle that measures this
ReflectionEquidistant from the defining line
RotationEquidistant from the defining center
TranslationSame distance and direction from the original figure
ImageFigure after a transformation
DilationThe only transformation that doesn't have to be congruent
TransformationChanges location in a coordiate plane, in one case the size may also change proportionally
Side Side SideA triangle congruency AND similarity
Side Angle SideA triangle congruency AND similarity
Angle AngleA triangle similarity postulate that is NOT a congruency as well
Hypotenuse LegThe triangle congruency theorem that could be called "SSA"
Angle Side AngleA triangle congruency that is NOT a tirangle similarity
PerpendicularSymbolized by an "upside down T"
ParallelLines whose slopes are congruent
EquilateralAll sides congruent
EquiangularRegular polygons are also this
IsoscelesEquilateral triangles are always this too, but NOT vice versa
ScaleneMost right triangles are also this
EquidistantThe midpoint compared to the endpoints
Line of ReflectionMUST be identified for any reflection
Center of DilationMUST be identified for any dilation
GeometryMathematical study of physical characteristics and relationships
