Geometry Chapter 2-

AB
ConclusionThe phrase immediately following the word then-p →q, read if p then q, or p implies q→p
ConverseExchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional-q→p (If two angles are congruent, then they have the same measure.)
InverseNegatomg both the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional-~p→~q(If two angles do not have the same measure, then they are not congruent.)
ContrapositiveNegating both the hypothesis and conclusion of the converse statement-~q→~p(If two angles are not congruent, then they do not have the same measure.)
ConditionalGiven hypothesis and conclusion-p→1 (If 2 angles have the same measure, then they are congruent.)
If given a conditional is true,The converse and the inverse are not necessarily true.
The contrapositiveOf a false conditional is always false.
The converse and the inverse of a conditionalAre either both true or both false.
Logically EquivalentStatements with the same truth values are said to be this (A conditional and its contrapositive are logically equivalent as are the converse and inverse of a conditional.)
Law of DetachmentA form of deductive reasoning that is used to draw conclusions from true conditional statements
Law of SyllogismA law of logic: if a --> b, b -->c, then a -->c
ProofA logical argument in which each statement you make is supported by a statement that is accepted as true.
TheoremOnce a statement or conjecture has been shown to be true
Deductive ArgumentA group of algebraic steps used to solve problems
Segment Addition PostulateIf B is between A and C, then AB+BC=AC
Reflexive PropertyFor every a, a=a.
Symmetric PropertyFor all numbers a, b, and c, if a=b, then a+c=b+c.
Transitive PropertyFor all numbers a, b, and c, if a=b and b=c, then a=c
Angle Addition PostulateIf R is the interior of <PQS, then m<RQS=mPQS, then R is in the interior of <PQS.
Supplement TheoremIf two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary angles
Complement TheoremIf the noncommon sides of two adjacent angles form a right angle, then the angles are complementary angles
Vertical Angles TheoremIf two angles are vertical angles, then they are congruent.
Perpendicular LinesIntersectt to form four right angles
All right anglesAre congruent
Perpendicular Lines formCongruent adjacent angles
If wo angles are congruent and supplementaryThen each angle is a right angle
If two congruent angles form a linear pair,Then they are right angles
Conjectures are based uponObservations and patterns
Counterexamples can be usedTo show that a conjecture is false
