10
New cards
ray
A(n) ________ is a cross between a line and a line segment.
11
New cards
Congruent
________- Of exactly the same size and shape; in other words, of exactly the same dimensions.
12
New cards
Segment
________- A portion of a line with two endpoints and, thus, finite length.
13
New cards
Collinearity
________ is a relative term.
14
New cards
Geometry
________ is the study of shapes.
15
New cards
new dimension
Space is three- dimensional; that is, it has length, width, and a(n) ________, height.
16
New cards
infinite length
Whereas a line has ________, a line segment has a finite length.
17
New cards
Dimension
________- The number of lines required to span a region in space.
18
New cards
straight formation
A line is the infinite set of all points arrayed in a(n) ________.
19
New cards
Collinear 
Lying in one line (usually refers to a set of points)
20
New cards
Congruent
Of exactly the same size and shape; in other words, of exactly the same dimensions
21
New cards
Coplanar
Existing in one plane (usually refers to points or lines)
22
New cards
Dimension
The number of lines required to span a region in space
23
New cards
Line
A collection of points arrayed in a straight formation without limit
24
New cards
Noncollinear 
Not lying in one line (usually refers to a set of points)
25
New cards
Noncoplanar
Not existing in one plane (usually refers to points or lines)
26
New cards
Perpendicular
At a 90 degree angle (something is perpendicular relative to something else)
27
New cards
Plane
A flat, boundless surface in space
28
New cards
Point
A specific location in space
29
New cards
Ray
A portion of a line with a fixed endpoint on one end that extends without bound in the other direction
30
New cards
Segment
A portion of a line with two endpoints and, thus, finite length
31
New cards
Space
The collection of all points
32
New cards
To put it another way, there is only one way that you can move along a line
lengthwise
33
New cards
Therefore a line is one
dimensional
34
New cards
It requires two lines to span a plane, so therefore a plane is two
dimensional
35
New cards
Imagine a box
It has length, width, and height
