SteveThe transitive property states that if A is equal to B, and B is equal to C, then A is equal to C. In the context of similar figures, this property holds true. If two figures are similar, and one figure is congruent to a third figure, then the second figure is also congruent to the third figure.

What is the definition of the transitive property of math?
Rate This AnswerThe transitive property states that if a relation holds between a and b and between b and c, then it also exists between a and c.So, if A=B AND B=C, THEN A=C
What does transitive mean in math terms?
Transitive Property (mathematics), property of a mathematical relation such that if the relation holds between a and b and between b and c, then it also exists between a and c. The equality relation, for example, is transitive because if a = b and b = c, then a = c. Other transitive relations include greater than (>), less than (<), greater than or equal to (?), and less than or equal to (?).
What does commutative property and associative property mean?
The commutative property holds that the results are the same no matter the order. Multiplication is commutative since a x b = b x a. The associative property holds that the results are the same no matter the grouping as long as the order stays the same. Multiplication is associative since (a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
What operations will the associative property hold true?
The common operations of arithmetic for which it holds are addition and multiplication.
