6. Geometry 6 Definitions Plane: a two-dimensional figure usually represented by a shape that looks like a wall or floor even though the plane extends without end Polygon: a closed plane figure with the following properties: 1) It is formed by three or more line segments called sides. 2) Each side intersects exactly two sides, one at each endpoint, so that no two sides with a common endpoint are collinear.

Geometry 13 Section 3.2 3 Ways to Prove Triangles Congruent Introduction  Included sides and angles  To be included means to be flanked by or trapped between –Thus, the points of a line segment are included between its endpoints. –In a triangle, sides can be included by angles and angles can be included by sides.

28. Geometry 28 Section 3.3 Circles and CPCTC If you have proven via SSS can you state that  5 is congruent to  7? WHY? CPCTC Principle:  Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent You MUST prove the triangles congruent FIRST!!!

29. Geometry 29 Section 3.3 Circles and CPCTC Circle: The set of all points in a plane that are a given distance from a given point in the plane. O. P R.. Segment OP is a radius Segments OP and OR are radii Remember your formulas?  Area of a circle  Circumference of a circle Theorem: All radii of a circle are congruent.

30. Geometry 30 Section 3.4 Beyond CPCTC Median: A line segment drawn from any vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side. How many medians does a triangle have? (3) A median divides into two congruent segments, or bisects the side to which it is drawn.

31. Geometry 31 Section 3.4 Beyond CPCTC Altitude: A line segment drawn from any vertex of the triangle to the opposite side, extended if necessary, and perpendicular to that side. How many altitudes does a triangle have? (3) An altitude of a triangle forms right (90º) angles with one of the sides.

33. Geometry 33 Solving Proofs: Remember the Steps 1. Draw the diagram. 2. Carefully read the problem and mark the diagram. 3. Place a question mark (?) in the area that you need to prove. 4. Create a flow diagram. 5. Use one given at a time and draw as much information as possible from that given. (Disregard information that is not needed.) 6. Sequentially list the statements and reasons. 7. The last statement should be the prove statement. 8. Check the proof. It should follow a logical order.
