Geometry Test #2
Circle-a closed curve in. a plane all of whose points are equally distant from a fixed point in the plane called the center
Circumference-the perimeter of a circle
Semicircle-one half of a circle
Diameter-a line throught the center with its ends on the circle
Radius-a line joining the center with any point on the circle
Chord-any straight line whose ends are on the circle
Arc-any portion of a circle
Quadrant-the arc which represents a quarter of a circle
Congruence-two plane figures are congruent if they have the same size and shape
Corresponding parts-the angles and sides that match
Axiom-a general statement acceptex without proof to be true
Postulate-a geometric assumption accepted without proof to be true
Proof-the process of deductive reasoning whereby the truth of a theorem or correctness of a construction is established
Given-a statement of beginning facts
Prove-what is to be shown true
Analysis-planning and reasonin gto discover how to solve a proof
Proof-logically arranged steps leading to the conclusion
Corollary-another geometric statement that is easily deduced from the given theorem
