MATH VOCAB 2010-2011

AB
Properties of a parallelogram1.opposite sides are congruent, 2. opposite angles are congruent, 3. Consecutive angles are supplementary, 4. diagonals bisect each other
Planemade up of both points and lines; 2 dimensional
convex vs. concaveconvex: no line containing a side has a point on the interior; concave: opposite of convex
angleformed by 2 rays with a common end point
linerepresents many points; extends in 2 directions; has infinitely many points; extends in 1 dimension
conditional statement"If-Then" or "Hypothesis-Conclusion" Hypothesis=if, Conclusion=then
Conjectureusing inductive reasoning to make predictions (every point on the y axis has an x-coordinate of 0)
Pointrepresents location (no size)
RayAn exension/part of a line with one endpoint (goes on forever in one direction)
Vertexendpoint
Congruent segmentsequal in length
Congruent anglesAngles with the same measures
Initial pointstarting point of a ray
collinear vs. noncollinearco-points on the same line; for any 3 noncolinar points, there exists 1 plane through those points; nonco-points not on the same line
Segment Addition PostulateIf Q is between points P and S, then PQ + QS=PS
CoplanarPoints and lines that are in the same plane
Diagonalsegments that connesct non-consecutive verticies
Adjacent angels2 angles that share a vertex and a side but do not overlap (no common interior points)
Vertical anglesopposite angles formed by 2 intersecting lines
Inductive and Deductive Reasoningin: using patterns and examples to make predictions; deductive- using facts, definitions, and accepted properties to reach a conclusion
Equivalent StatementsWhen statements are either both true or both false; conditional statement/contrapositive=true; inverse/converse=false, but can be true
Symbolic Notationp=hypothesis, q=conclusion, P->q= conditional statement, q->P=converse, ~P->~q=inverse,~q->~p=contapositive, P<->q= biconditional
Triangle Sum ThereomSums of the angles of any triangle is 180 degrees
Negationnegative of a statement "not" or "no" ex:Today is Monday. Today is NOT Monday
InverseNegation of your conditional statement ex: if not A, then not B
ContrapositiveNegation of your converse ex: if not B, then not A
TriangleFigure formed by connecting segments whose endpoints are non-collinear points
Scalene triangleno sides are congruent
isosceles triangleat least 2 sides are congruent
equilateral triangleall sides are congruent
right triangle1 right angle
obtuse triangle1 obtuse angle
acute triangle3 acute angles
equilateral triangle3 congruent angles
Supplementary angles2 angles that add up to 180 degrees
Polygonclosed plane figure bounded by strait lines (no curves, openings, or crossings)
Linear Pair Postulate2 angles that form a linear pair are always supplementary
complementary angles2 angles that add up to 90 degrees
Postulatestatement that is accepted without proof
exterior anglesformed by extending sides of a polygon (forms linear pair with adjacent angles); sum of exterior angles is 360 degrees
Linear Pair2 adjacent angles whose non-shaped sides form a line
Vertical angles thereomVertical angles are congruent
Regular polygonA polygon that is BOTH equilateral and equiangular
Properties of a rectanglediagonals are congruent
Properties of a rhombusdiagonals are perpendicular, diagonals are angle bisectors
Equilateral polygonall sides are congruent
Equiangular polygonall angles are congruent
converseswitch hypothesis and conclusion ex: if b then a
biconditionalif and only if ex: A iff B
Law of detachmentIf P implies q, and P is true, then q is true; ex: if you go to the zoo, then you will see animals. Sam goes to the zoo. Conclusion-Sam will see animals
Law of SyllogismIf P implies q and q implies r and r implies s, then P implies s
What needs to happen so that the biconditional is true?the conditional statement and converse must be true
