  29. what is the ratio of a to b?
    a/b or a:b
  30. how to you begin an indirect proof
    assume that what you want to prove is not true. if this temporary assumption leads to a contradiction of a known fact, than your temporary assumption must be false and what you with to prove true must be true.
  31. what is the shortest segment from a point to a line
    a perpendicular segment
  32. what is sss triangle inequality theorem
    if two sides of a triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle but the the third side in the first is larger than the same in the second, the included angle of the two congruent sides of the first triangle is greater than that of the second
  33. what is the sas triangle inequality therem
    if two triangles have two congruent sides but the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second, than the third side of the first is larger than the second.
  34. what is the contropositive of if p, than q
    if not q, than not p
  35. what is the inverse of if p, than q
    if not p, than not q
  36. what is the triangle inequality theorem?
    2 angles of a triangle added together are always greater than the third
  37. what is the sas trianglesimilarity theorem?
    if two angles in two triangles are equal and the sides including those two angles are in porportion, then the triangles are similar.
  38. what is the sss triangle similarity theorem?
    if every side in two triangles are in porportion, then then are similar
  39. what is aa triangle similiratiy thereom
    if two triangles each have two equal angles, then they are similar

    db/da = ec/ae
  41. what is the triangle proportoinality therom?
    if a line parrellel to one side of a triangle interescts the other two sides, than it devides those sides proportionally.
  42. what happens if three parrellel lines intersect two transversals?
    then they devide the transversals proportionally
  43. what is the triangle angle bisector theorem?
