Term
conjecture
Definition

Mrs. Bruning observes several boys simply stuffing handouts into their backpacks. Based on her observation, she says, “Boys stuff handouts into their backpacks.” Mrs. Bruning has just made a(n) ______________________________ about the behavior of boys.

Term
theorem
Definition

We proved that if overlapping segments have the same measure, then their non-overlapping parts have the same measure. So the underlined statement is a(n) ______________________________.

Term
proof
Definition

When you use deductive reasoning to write an argument that a statement is true, we call that argument a(n) ____________________.

Term
angle
Definition

Two rays start at the same point, and then head off in different--but not necessarily opposite--directions, they form a(n) ______________________________.

Term
biconditional (statement)
Definition
If a conditional statement and its converse are both true, they can be rewritten as a single logical statement called a(n) ______________________________.
Term
collinear
Definition

Segment SG and segment MT lie on the same line. So we can use the word ____________________ to describe them.

Term
conditional statement
Definition

“______________________________” is a fancy name for an if-then statement.

Term
conclusion
Definition

The part of a conditional statement following the “then” is referred to as the statement’s ______________________________.

Term
contrapositive
Definition

The ______________________________ of the statement “If an object is a die, then it has six sides” is “If an object does not have six sides, then it is a not a die.”

Term
converse
Definition

The statement “If the corresponding angles formed are congruent, then the two lines cut by a transversal are parallel” is the ______________________________ of “If two lines cut by a transversal are parallel, then the corresponding angles formed are congruent.”

Term
coplanar
Definition

The triangle and pentagon shown below both lie in the plane defined by the screen you are viewing. We would describe them as being ________________________________________.

[image]
Term
counterexample
Definition

A bat would be a(n) ______________________________ for the statement “If an animal has wings, then it is a bird. That’s because a bat has wings, but it is not a bird.”

Term
deductive reasoning
Definition

Any number that is two times an integer plus one is an odd number. Sixty-seven is two times the integer thirty-three plus one. Therefore sixty-seven is an odd number. This is an example of ______________________________.

Term
Euler (or Venn) Diagram
Definition

The ________________________________________ below shows the relationship among the set of animals, the set of animals that are mammals, and the set of animals that lay eggs.

[image]

 

We call a picture that shows the logical relationships among a number of sets a(n) ______________________________.

Term
exterior
Definition

In the figure below, D lies in the ______________________________ of angle BAC .

[image]

Term
hypothesis
Definition

In the statement, “If an animal has a backbone, then the animal is a vertebrate,” the clause “animal has a backbone” is the statement’s ______________________________.

Term
interior
Definition

If you draw a segment from a point on one side of an angle to a point on the other side of the angle, the segment will pass through the angle’s ______________________________.

Term
inverse
Definition

You create a conditional statement’s ____________________ when you negate its hypothesis and conclusion.

Term
(line) segment
Definition

Points W, O, R and M all lie on the same line. The part of that line that starts at W and ends at R would be called a(n) ______________________________.

Term
ray
Definition

“________________________________________” is the word or phrase we use to refer to the part of the line pictured below that starts at point D and continues forever in the direction of point E.

[image]
Term
vertex
Definition

An angle is defined by rays AC and AT. We call A the ______________________________ of the angle. Meow!

Term
postulate
Definition

A statement that is so basic that we can all agree that it is true without proof is known as a(n) ______________________________.

Term
polygons
Definition

The figures pictured below are ________________________________________. They are closed, plane figures composed of segments that intersect only at their endpoints.

[image]

Term

vertices

("vertices" is the plural of "vertex.")

Definition

Points W, F, S, U and Y are ________________________________________ of polygon WFSUY.

[image]

Term
diagonal
Definition

In the diagram below, segment AC is a(n) ________________________________________ of pentagon ABCDE.

[image]

Term
convex polygon
Definition

Draw a kite shaped polygon on your paper somewhere. Notice that if you draw a segment connecting any two non-adjacent vertices that the segment only passes through the interior. We would classify the kite as a(n) ______________________________.

Term
concave polygon
Definition

If you connect points O and Y on the figure below with a line segment, the segment will pass through the exterior of POLY. For that reason, we would classify POLY as a(n) ______________________________.

[image]

Term
equiangular
Definition

Based on the marks made on the diagram below, pentagon ABCDE is both equilateral and ______________________________.

[image]

Term
equilateral polygon
Definition

In pentagon TIGER, TI = IG = GE = ER = RT. TIGER is a(n) ______________________________.

Term
regular
Definition

All 12 of a dodecagon’s sides are 10 centimeters long and each of its interior angles measures 150°. That makes it a(n) ________________________________________ dodecagon.

Term
center
Definition

If you find the point that is the same distance from every vertex of a regular polygon, you have found the ______________________________ of that regular polygon.

Term
central angle
Definition

In the figure below. If you were to draw ray FB and ray FA, the two rays would form a(n) ______________________________ of pentagon ABCDE.

[image]

Term
interior angle
Definition

Draw a triangle somewhere on a piece of scratch paper. Now, draw a point on one vertex of the triangle and draw rays that start at that vertex and pass through the sides of the triangle that meet at that vertex. These rays form a(n) ________________________________________ of the polygon you drew.

Term
exterior angle
Definition

Because adjacent angles HAR and RAY are supplementary, we would classify angle HAR as a(n) ________________________________________ of ARLEY.

[image]

Term
quadrilaterals
Definition

Trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, squares and kites are all examples of ________________________________________. That is, they are all four-sided polygons.

Term
pentagon
Definition

Based solely on the number of sides it has, ______________________________ is the name we would give to the polygon picture below:

[image]

Term
hexagon
Definition

The figure below is a(n) ______________________________. It is a six-sided polygon.

[image]

Term
n-gon
Definition

When we don’t know the number of sides of a polygon or when we are trying to prove a property that applies to a polygon regardless of the number of sides it has, we say that the polygon has n sides, and we refer to it as a(n) ______________________________.

Term
octagon
Definition

A stop sign is a real-world example of a regular eight-sided polygon, which we call a regular ______________________________.

Term
heptagon
Definition

“Hepta” is a Greek prefix for “seven.” That’s why we call a seven sided polygon a(n) ______________________________.
