1
New cards
parallel lines
Coplanar lines that do not intersect.
2
New cards
skew lines
Lines that do not intersect and are not coplanar.
3
New cards
parallel planes
Two planes that do not intersect.
4
New cards
transversal
A line that intersects two coplanar lines at two distinct points.
5
New cards
corresponding angles
Angles formed by a transversal cutting through 2 or more lines that are in the same relative position.
6
New cards
alternate interior angles
Angles that lie within a pair of lines and on opposite sides of a transversal.
7
New cards
alternate exterior angles
Angles that lie outside a pair of lines and on opposite sides of a transversal.
8
New cards
consecutive interior angles
Angles that lie within a pair of lines and are on the same side of the transversal.
9
New cards
distance from a point to a line
The length of the perpendicular segment from the point to the line.
10
New cards
perpendicular bisector
A line that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint.
11
New cards
Linear Pair Perpendicular Theorem
If two lines intersect to form a linear pair of congruent angles, then the lines are perpendicular.
12
New cards
Perpendicular Transversal Theorem
If a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other.
13
New cards
Lines Perpendicular to a Transversal Theorem
In a plane, if two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel to each other.
14
New cards
Slopes of Parallel Lines
In a coordinate plane, two non-vertical lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope. Any two vertical lines are parallel.
15
New cards
Slopes of Perpendicular Lines
In a coordinate plane, two non-vertical lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is -1. Any horizontal line and vertical line are perpendicular.
16
New cards
Parallel Postulate
If 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.
17
New cards
Perpendicular Postulate
If 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.
18
New cards
Corresponding Angles Theorem
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.
19
New cards
Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent.
20
New cards
Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the alternate exterior angles are congruent.
21
New cards
Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of consecutive interior angles is supplementary.
22
New cards
Corresponding Angles Converse
If two lines are cut by a transversal and corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
23
New cards
Alternate Interior Angles Converse
If two lines are cut by a transversal and alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
24
New cards
Alternate Exterior Angles Converse
If two lines are cut by a transversal and alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
25
New cards
Consecutive Interior Angles Converse
If two lines are cut by a transversal and consecutive interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
26
New cards
Transitive Property of Parallel Lines
If line l is parallel to line m and line m is parallel to line n, then line l is parallel to line n.
