Which undefined term in geometry is described as a location with no size?
Point
Ray
Line
Plane
A point is defined as an exact location in space without length, width, or height. Lines and rays extend infinitely and planes are flat two-dimensional surfaces. Points are the building blocks for defining other geometric objects. Learn more about points.
Which of the following is a straight path extending in both directions with no endpoints?
Plane
Segment
Ray
Line
A line is an infinite collection of points extending in two opposite directions with no endpoints. A segment has two endpoints, a ray has one endpoint, and a plane extends infinitely in two dimensions. Lines serve as the basis for measuring angles and distances. More on lines.
What term describes a point that divides a segment into two congruent segments?
Bisector
Endpoint
Midpoint
Vertex
A midpoint is the point on a segment that divides it into two segments of equal length. A segment bisector is any line or segment that intersects the midpoint, but the midpoint itself is the point. Endpoints mark the ends of a segment. Read more about midpoints.
A line or ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles is called what?
Segment bisector
Median
Perpendicular bisector
Angle bisector
An angle bisector splits an angle into two smaller angles with equal measures. A segment bisector divides a segment, and a perpendicular bisector divides perpendicularly. Medians are in triangles and connect a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Details on angle bisectors.
According to the Angle Addition Postulate, if point D lies in the interior of ?ABC, then m?ABD + m?DBC equals what?
m?ABD
m?DBC
m?ADC
m?ABC
The Angle Addition Postulate states that the sum of the measures of two adjacent angles equals the measure of the larger angle they form. If D is inside ?ABC, then m?ABD + m?DBC = m?ABC. This is fundamental for angle calculations. Learn more here.
Two angles whose measures sum to 90° are known as what?
Supplementary angles
Vertical angles
Complementary angles
Adjacent angles
Complementary angles add up to 90° by definition. Supplementary angles sum to 180°, vertical angles are opposite and equal, and adjacent angles share a common side. Complementary relationships appear often in right triangle problems. More on complementary angles.
Which property states that if segment AB ? CD, then segment CD ? AB?
Symmetric Property of Congruence
Reflexive Property
Substitution Property
Transitive Property
The Symmetric Property of Congruence indicates that if one segment is congruent to a second, then the second is congruent to the first. The reflexive property applies when a segment is congruent to itself, and the transitive property involves three segments. Review congruence properties.
What is the sum of the measures of angles in a linear pair?
360°
90°
180°
270°
By definition, a linear pair forms a straight line and therefore the angles sum to 180°. A right angle is 90°, but a linear pair specifically sums to a straight angle. This is a direct application of supplementary angles. More on linear pairs.
What is the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (2, 3) and (6, 7)?
(8, 10)
(2, 3)
(4, 5)
(3, 5)
The midpoint formula is ((x?+x?)/2, (y?+y?)/2). Applying it gives ((2+6)/2, (3+7)/2) = (4,5). Other points listed do not satisfy this formula. See midpoint formula.
What is the distance between points A(-2, 4) and B(3, 4)?
2
?29
?41
5
The distance formula is ?((x? ? x?)² + (y? ? y?)²). Here y-coordinates are the same so distance = |3 ? (?2)| = 5. Other values come from miscalculations. Distance formula.
Which is the correct biconditional statement for "If a polygon is equilateral, then it is equiangular."?
If a polygon is equiangular, then it is equilateral.
A polygon is equilateral if and only if it is similar.
A polygon is equilateral if and only if it is equiangular.
A polygon is equiangular only if it is equilateral.
A biconditional uses 'if and only if' to show that both the original conditional and its converse are true. Here it asserts that equilateral and equiangular are equivalent properties. Biconditional explanation.
What is the converse of the statement "If it is a square, then it is a rectangle."?
If it is not a square, then it is not a rectangle.
It is a square if and only if it is a rectangle.
If it is not a rectangle, then it is not a square.
If it is a rectangle, then it is a square.
The converse of 'If p, then q' is 'If q, then p'. Here p = it is a square and q = it is a rectangle, so the converse flips them. More on converses.
What is the inverse of "If m?1 + m?2 = 180°, then angles 1 and 2 form a linear pair."?
If m?1 + m?2 ? 180°, then they do not form a linear pair.
If m?1 + m?2 = 180°, then they do not form a linear pair.
If they do not form a linear pair, then m?1 + m?2 ? 180°.
If they form a linear pair, then m?1 + m?2 = 180°.
The inverse of 'If p then q' is 'If not p then not q'. Here p is the angle sum equals 180°, and q is forming a linear pair. Inverse statements.
Which statement is the contrapositive of "If two lines are parallel, then they do not intersect."?
If two lines do not intersect, then they are parallel.
If two lines are not parallel, then they intersect.
If two lines are parallel, then they intersect.
If two lines intersect, then they are not parallel.
The contrapositive of 'If p then q' is 'If not q then not p'. Here p = lines are parallel, q = they do not intersect, so the contrapositive flips and negates both. Contrapositive details.
Angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect are called what?
Adjacent angles
Corresponding angles
Supplementary angles
Vertical angles
Vertical angles are formed by two intersecting lines and are opposite each other; they are always congruent. Adjacent angles share a side, corresponding angles occur with parallels, and supplementary angles sum to 180°. Vertical angles explained.
Given collinear points A, B, C with AB = 3x, BC = 2x + 5, and AC = 25, what is x?
20
5
3
4
Since B is between A and C, AB + BC = AC, so 3x + (2x+5) = 25. Simplifying gives 5x + 5 = 25, so x = 4. Linear equations review.
In a right triangle, if ?1 = 2x and ?2 = 3x ? 10° and they are complementary, what is x?
20
18
22
15
Complementary angles sum to 90°, so 2x + (3x?10) = 90 ? 5x = 100 ? x = 20. Check by substitution for accuracy. Complementary angles.
Which type of reasoning uses specific examples to reach a general conclusion?
Algebraic reasoning
Deductive reasoning
Direct reasoning
Inductive reasoning
Inductive reasoning observes patterns or examples and forms a general rule. Deductive reasoning starts with rules or axioms and derives specific results. Geometry proofs typically use deductive methods after observing patterns inductively. Inductive vs deductive.
Which postulate states that the whole is equal to the sum of its parts?
SAS Postulate
Angle Addition Postulate
Reflexive Postulate
Segment Addition Postulate
The Segment Addition Postulate says that if B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC. The Angle Addition Postulate is analogous for angles. SAS is a criterion for triangle congruence. Segment Addition Postulate.
Which related statement is always logically equivalent to a true conditional?
Biconditional
Inverse
Converse
Contrapositive
A conditional 'If p then q' is logically equivalent to its contrapositive 'If not q then not p'. The converse and inverse are not generally equivalent to the original conditional. Biconditional requires truth of both conditional and converse. Contrapositive logic.
To prove two segments are congruent, you would show they have the same what?
Midpoint
Length
Area
Slope
Congruent segments have equal lengths by definition. Midpoints, slopes, and areas relate to other properties but congruence in segments refers specifically to length equality. Congruent segments.
When is a biconditional statement "p if and only if q" true?
When one statement is true and the other is false.
When only the converse is true.
When only the conditional is true.
When both the conditional and its converse are true.
A biconditional 'p iff q' is true only if p?q and q?p are both true. If either direction fails, the biconditional is false. This ensures p and q are equivalent statements. Biconditional criteria.
What is the contrapositive of "If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect to form right angles."?
If two lines are not perpendicular, then they do not form right angles.
If they do not form right angles, then they are not perpendicular.
If they intersect to form right angles, then they are perpendicular.
If they do not intersect, then they are not perpendicular.
The contrapositive of 'If p then q' is 'If not q then not p'. Here p = lines are perpendicular and q = they form right angles, so negating both gives the correct contrapositive. Contrapositive notes.
Which biconditional correctly defines a parallelogram?
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if and only if diagonals are perpendicular.
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if and only if both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if and only if all sides are congruent.
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if and only if it has four right angles.
A parallelogram is defined by having two pairs of parallel sides. While rectangles and rhombi are special parallelograms, only the parallel sides condition applies generally. Parallelogram definition.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Inductive vs Deductive Reasoning -

    Inductive reasoning uses specific examples to form a general conjecture, while deductive reasoning starts with accepted facts, definitions, or theorems to reach a logically necessary conclusion. For instance, noticing the angles in several regular polygons sum to multiples of 180° is inductive (per University of Texas resources), whereas proving the sum of interior angles of any triangle is 180° uses deductive logic. Remember: "evidence to rule" for inductive, "rule to evidence" for deductive.

  2. Conditional and Biconditional Statements -

    A conditional statement takes the form "If p, then q" and is false only when p is true and q is false. A biconditional joins a conditional and its converse into "p if and only if q," asserting both directions hold. Quickly spot a biconditional by checking that its converse is valid, using the mnemonic "iff" (if and only if).

  3. Converse, Inverse, and Contrapositive Relationships -

    From a conditional p→q, the converse swaps hypothesis and conclusion (q→p), the inverse negates both (~p→~q), and the contrapositive reverses and negates (~q→~p). The truth of a contrapositive is always equivalent to the original conditional, a key insight from Stanford University's logic curriculum. A handy mnemonic is "flip and flip the sign" for contrapositive.

  4. Law of Detachment & Law of Syllogism -

    The Law of Detachment says that from p→q and a true p, you can deduce q - just like Modus Ponens in propositional logic. The Law of Syllogism (hypothetical syllogism) allows chaining p→q and q→r to conclude p→r, streamlining multi-step proofs. These foundational rules, emphasized in MIT OpenCourseWare, ensure each inference in your geometry ch 2 proofs is rock-solid.

  5. Structure of Two-Column Proofs -

    A two-column proof organizes statements on the left and their justifications on the right, making logical structure clear and reviewable. Each step cites a definition, postulate, or theorem - like the Angle Addition Postulate - to show why it's valid. Practice writing these proofs on past geometry chapter 2 quizzes - like those in the Prentice Hall geometry quiz - to boost speed and confidence.
