The following is a list of topics that you may use to study for your Geometry Midterm. The topics are
listed in the same order that you learned each concept. Reviewing algebra skills such as factoring,
simplifying radicals, using quadratic formula and solving systems of equations are embedded in some
of the skills below! The sections in the book that relate to each topic are listed in parenthesis after
the topic.
Unit 1:
 Use notation to identify segments, rays, planes, lines. (1.1)
 Use Segment Addition Postulate (1.2)
 Use distance formula (leaving answers in simplest radical form). Identify congruent segments
using distance formula. (1.2/1.3)
 Use midpoint formula to find midpoint of segment. Use midpoint formula to find endpoint of
segment given one endpoint and the midpoint. (1.3)
 Find lengths of segments given the midpoint of a segment (1.3)
 Name and classify angles (1.4)
 Use the Angle Addition Postulate (1.4)
 Find measures of angles given an angle bisector (1.4)
 Perform congruence transformations (translations, reflections, and rotations) on the coordinate
plane (make sure you know the rules!!!) (4.8)
 Advanced reflections (know the rules for reflecting across the lines y = x, y = -x, and vertical and
horizontal lines) (9.3)
 Advanced rotations (know the rules for rotating about a point other than the origin) (9.4)
Unit 2:
 Find measures of complementary, supplementary, linear pairs, and vertical angles (1.5 and 2.7)
 Use Linear Pair Postulate, Vertical Angles Theorem, Congruent Complements Theorem and
Congruent Supplements Theorem to find measures of angles. (2.7)
 Identify angle pairs formed by two lines intersected by a transversal (corresponding, alternate
interior, alternate exterior, and consecutive interior angles) (3.1)
 Find measures of angles formed by parallel lines cut by a transversal (Corresponding Angles
Postulate, Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem, and
Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem) (3.2)
 Prove lines are parallel using the Alternate Interior Angles Converse, Alternate Exterior Angles
Converse, Corresponding Angles Converse, and Consecutive Interior Angles Converse
 Complete Algebraic Proofs (3.3)
 Complete proofs involving angle pairs formed by parallel lines cut by transversal (2.5 & 3.2 – 3.3)
