Term
Reflection
Definition

A flip over a line

Term
Rotation
Definition

Means to turn around a center: The distance from the center to any point on the shape stays the same. 

Term
Translation
Definition
(notation ) is a transformation of the plane that slides every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.
Term
Angle Sum in a Triangle
Definition
The angle sum in a triangle is 180 degrees
Term
Isosceles Triangle Theorem
Definition
A triangle is isosceles if and only if the angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent
Term
Midsegment Theorem
Definition
A midsegment of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half as long.
Term
EXterior Angle Theorem
Definition
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two opposite interior angles. [For ABC with exterior angle Aʹ, m<Aʹ = m<B + m<C]
Term
Congruent Triangle
Definition
A triangle is congruent when all three sides are exactly the same.
Term
"SSS" Triangle
Definition

"sss" is when we know three sides of the triangle, and want to find the missing angles.

"Side,Side,Side"

Term
"SAS" Triangle
Definition

"sas" is when we know two sides and the angle between them.

 "Side,Angel,Side"
Term
"ASA Triangle"
Definition

"ASA" is when we know two angles and a side between the angles.

"Angle,Side,Angel"

Term
"AAS" Triangle
Definition

"AAS" is when we know two angles and one side (which is not between the angles).

Term
"HL" Triangle
Definition

Two right triangles are congruent if the hypotenuse and one corresponding leg are equal in both triangles.

Term

Equliateral Triangle

Definition

All three of its sides are equal in length and all angels have the same measures

(Equiangular)

Term
Isosceles Triangle
Definition
At least two of its sides are equal in length
Term
Scalene Triangle
Definition
Three sides are different in length and three different angle measures
Term
Acute Triangle
Definition
All three internal angles are actue (Less than 90 degrees!)
Term
Right Triangle
Definition
Has one angle equivalent to 90 degrees
Term
Obtuse Triangle
Definition
One of the internal angles is obtuse (Greater than 180 degrees!)
Term
Supplementary Angles
Definition
Two angles are supplementary if they add up to 180°.
Term
Linear Angle Pair
Definition

A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles that form a straight line, and are thus supplementary.

Term
Vertical Angle
Definition
Vertical angles are formed when two lines intersect forming four angles; each opposite pair are vertical angles. (Vertical angles are congruent!)
Term
Pythagorean theorem
Definition

Helps you find a missing side of a triangle with the equation: 

 a2 + b2 = c2

Term
SOH-CAH-TOA
Definition

One way to remembering how to compute the sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle.  SOH stands for Sine equals Opposite over Hypotenuse. CAH stands for Cosine equals Adjacent over Hypotenuse. TOA stands for Tangent equals Opposite over Adjacent.

Term
0 = Angle of Elevation
Definition

Hypotenuse = Distance from start up to object

Opposite = Height of the object

Adjacent = Distance along your line of sight to object

Term
0 = Angle of Depression
Definition

Hypotenuse = Distance from start down to object

Opposite = Height of object

Adjacent = Distance to the object along your line of sight

Term

Period 2(pi)/b

Definition
Length of a cycle
Term
Law of Cosines
Definition

Using the equation [image] you can find the third side of a triangle when you know two sides and the angle between them. As well as when you are trying to find an angel when you know all three sides. 

Term
Law of Sines
Definition

It is the relationship between the sides and angles of non-right.  Using the equation  [image], you are able to find the correct answer.

Term
Amplitude ( lal )
Definition

Height of wave from the midline

Term
Period and Amplitude
Definition

Using this equation helps you find your answer:

Y= a * sin(bx-c) + d
