UNDEFINED TERMS | Terms whose meanings are accepted without formal definitions. Including the terms point, line, and plane are the basic building blocks of Geometry |
DEFINED TERMS | In Geometry, new terms are defined using previously defined or known terms |
SEGMENT | The part of a line that consists of two endpoints, and all points of the line between them. |
RAY | A ray is the part of a line that consists of one endpoint and all the points of the line on one side of the endpoint. |
OPPOSITE RAYS | Rays with the same endpoint that lie on the same line. |
ANGLE | Formed by two rays with the same endpoint. Each ray is a side of the angle and the common endpoints is the vertex of the angle. |
LENGTH OF A SEGMENT | Distance between two points (A NUMERICAL VALUE) |
MEASURE OF AN ANGLE | The measure/degree an angle makes (numerical value) |
COLLINEAR POINTS | Points that lie on the same line |
COPLANAR POINTS | Points on the same plane |
POSTULATE | A statement that is assumed to be true |
