- 1. - This term describes when 2 angles and the included side of a triangle are congruent to 2 angles and the included side of another triangle. It is a congruence postulate that is used to prove triangles congruent.
- 3. - This term describes when 3 sides of a triangle are congruent to 3 sides of another triangle. It is a congruence postulate that is used to prove triangles congruent.
- 7. - A quadrilateral having only one pair of opposite sides parallel. The bases are parallel and the legs are non-parallel sides.
- 9. - Right triangle trigonometric function that is used with the adjacent leg value over the hypotenuse value. This is only used on a right triangle.
- 10. - This term describes when 2 angles and the non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the 2 angles and non-included side of another triangle. It is a congruence theorem that is used to prove two triangles congruent.
- 12. Polygons - Two figures that have congruent corresponding parts such as their matching sides and angles. When naming these, you must list corresponding vertices in the same order.
- 14. - Law or rule in Geometry that is common sense and doesn't need to be proven. It is commonly used to prove triangles congruent.
- 15. - Right triangle trigonometric function that is used with the opposite leg value over the adjacent leg value. This is only used on a right triangle.

- 2. - This term describes when 2 sides and the included angle of a triangle are congruent to 2 sides and included angle of another triangle. It is a congruence postulate that is used to prove triangles congruent.
- 4. - This term means that the endpoints of the arc are the endpoints of the diameter on a circle. It also measures exactly 180 degrees.
- 5. - Used to prove corresponding segments or angles congruent. It is an abbreviation for Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.
- 6. - When a shape on a coordinate plane is moved clockwise or counterclockwise. The image you begin with is called a preimage.
- 8. - A parallelogram that has four congruent sides and perpendicular diagonals Also, each diagonal bisects a pair of opposite angles.
- 11. - This divides the segment into two congruent segments. When this happens, the two segments can be set equal to each other to find the value of a variable.
- 13. Lines - Coplanar lines that do not intersect. These type of lines have certain relationships such as corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and same side interior angles.
- 17. Arc - An arc that measures more than 180 degrees on a circle but less than 360 degrees. It is found by 360 degrees minus its associated minor arc.
- 19. - Right triangle trigonometric function that is used with the opposite leg value over the hypotenuse value. This is only used on a right triangle.
