Unit 1 Geometry Terms
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Straight angle | an angle whose measure equals 180 degrees |
Congruent | Two angles with the same measure |
Opposite rays | two collinear rays with the same endpoint (always form a line) |
Collinear | Any two points that lie together on the same line |
Coplanar | Points and lines that lie in the same plane and are together on a line |
Complementary | Two angles that sum measures up to 90 degrees |
Point | Has no dimension and is usually represented by a do |
Obtuse angle | An angle that is between 90 and 180 degrees |
Coplanar lines | lines that intersect to form right angles (perpendicular lines) |
Line | extends in one dimension and is usually represented by a straight line with 2 arrowheads to indicate it extends without end in 2 directions. |
Right angle | an angle whose measure equals to 90 degrees |
Vertical angles | 2 angles that their sides form 2 pairs of opposite rays |
Plane | A flat surface that has 3 non-collinear points and is 2 dimensional |
Acute angle | an angle between 0-90 degrees |
Angle | formed by 2 rays with an endpoint |
Postulate or Axiom | an accepted state or fact |
Supplementary | 2 angles that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees |
Linear pair | 2 adjacent angles that noncommon sides are opposite rays |
Segment | the part of a line consisting of 2 endpoints and all the points in between them |
Perpendicular bisector | a line, segment or ray that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint |
Transversal | a line that intersects two coplanar lines at 2 distinct points |
Adjacent | 2 angles that share a common vertex and side, but have no common interior points |
Segment bisector | a line, segment, or ray that intersects a segment at its midpoint |
Angle bisector | a ray that divides an angle into 2 congruent angles |
Theorem | a rule that has been proven |
Space | the set of all points |
Parallel lines | coplanar lines that never intersect |
Skew | non-coplanar lines that never intersect |
Midpoint | a point that divides a segment into 2 congruent segments |
Ray | the part of a line consisting of 1 endpoint and all the points of the line on 1 side of the endpoint |
