Geometry - Things to remember:

Def of ________
To use when redescribing an earlier action
Add; Addition Property
A+B=A+B
Subtr; Subtraction property
A–B=A-B
Mult; Multiplication Property
A*B=A*B
Div; Division Property
A / B = A /B
Distr; Distribute Property
A(C + B) = AC + AB
Ruler Postulate
AB = | A – B | = | B-A|
Segment or Angle Addition Postulate
AB + BC = AC
A+ B=C
Distance of 2 points

Midpoint of 2 points

L.P; Linear Pair Postulate

2 adjacent angles which form a 180 degree angle
Vertical Angle
Share a vertex and are on opposite sides of two intersecting lines
Reflective property
A= A
Transitive Property
A = B, B = C, therefore A = C
Symmetry Property
B = A, A = B
Right Angle Congruency
Rt ≅
Corresponding Angles

A ≅ C, B ≅ D
If // then Corr ≅ OR If Corr ≅ then //
Alternate Interior Angles
A ≅ D, B ≅ C
If // then Alt Int ≅ OR If Alt Int ≅ then //
Alternate Exterior Angles

A ≅ D, B ≅ C
If // then Alt Ext ≅ OR If Alt Ext ≅ then //
Same Side Interior

A ≅ C, B ≅ D
If // then Ssi supp OR If Ssi supp then //
Slope
Ratio of rise to run

Slope of parallel lines

They will be congruent
Slope of perpendicular lines
One would be the negative reciprocal of the other
Slope intercept form
y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y- intercept
Standard form
Ax + By = C
Point Slope form
y –y1 = m(x – x1)

Perpendicular lines
If 1 ≅ 2 then x ⊥ y
If x ⊥ y then 1 , 2, 3, 4 are right angles
Perpendicular Transversal

If a // b and c ⊥ a then c ⊥ b
Lines Perpendicular to a Transversal

If a ⊥ c and b ⊥ c then a // b
