Geometry Chapter 3 Terms and Definitions

This activity covers all the key terms and concepts from Chapter 3 - Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

AB
Parallel LinesTwo lines that are coplanar and do not intersect
Skew linesLines that do not intersect and are not coplanar
Parallel planesTwo planes that do not intersect
TransversalA line that intersects two or more coplanar lines at different points
Corresponding anglesWhen two lines are cut by a transversal, two angles that occupy corresponding positions
Alternate exterior anglesWhen two lines are cut by a transversal, two angles that lie outside the two lines on opposite sides of the transversal
Alternate interior anglesWhen two lines are cut by a transversal, two angles that lie between the two lines on opposite sides of the transversal
Consecutive interior anglesWhen two lines are cut by a transversal, two angles that that lie between the two lines on the same side of the transversal
Parallel PostulateIf there is a line and a point not on the line, then there is exactly one line through the point parallel to the given line
Perpendicular PostulateIf there is a line and a point not on the line, then there is exactly one line through the point perpendicular to the given line
If two lines intersect to form a linear pair of congruent angles,then the lines are perpendicular.
If two sides of two adjacent acute angles are perpendicular,then the angles are complementary.
If two lines are perpendicular,then they intersect to form four right angles
Corresponding Angles PostulateIf two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles arecongruent
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of consecutive interior angles are supplementary.supplementary
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate exterior angles arecongruent
If a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other.perpendicular to the other
Corresponding Angles ConverseIf two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel
Alternate Interior Angles ConverseIf two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
Consecutive Interior Angles ConverseIf two lines are cut by a transversal so that consecutive interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel
Alternate Exterior Angles ConverseIf two lines are cut by a transversal so that alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel
If two lines are parallel to the same line,then they are parallel to each other.
In a plane, if two lines are perpendicular to the same line,then they are parallel to each other.
Parallel PostulateGiven a line and a point not on the line, there is one and only one line that contains the given point and is parallel to the given line.
Triangle Sum TheoremThe sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
Exterior Angle TheoremThe measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles.
Sum of the Interior Angles of a PolygonThe sum, s, of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is given by s=(n-2)180
Measure of an Interior Angle of a Regular PolygonThe measure, m, of an interior angle of a regular polygon with n sides is m=[(n-2)180]/2
Sum of the Exterior Angles of a Polygonis equal to 360 degrees
Paralell Lines TheoremIn a coordinate plane, two nonvertical lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope.
Perpendicular Lines TheoremIn a coordinate plane, two nonvertical lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is -1.
