1
New cards
adjacent angle
Two angles that share a common vertex and side, but have no common interior points
2
New cards
acute angle
An angle that has a measure greater than 0⁰ and less than 90⁰
3
New cards
angle bisector
A ray that divides an angle into two angles that are congruent
4
New cards
angle
A set of points consisting of two different rays that
5
New cards
have the same endpoint
6
New cards
axiom
A rule that is accepted without proof
7
New cards
between
When three points are collinear, one point is between the other two.
8
New cards
complementary angles
Two angles whose measures have a sum of 90⁰
9
New cards
collinear
points that lie on the same line
10
New cards
congruent segments
line segments that have the same length
11
New cards
congruent angles
two angles that have the same measure
12
New cards
coordinate
a real number that corresponds to a point on a line
13
New cards
construction
A geometric drawing that uses a limited set of tools, usually a compass and a straightedge
14
New cards
defined terms
Terms that can be described using known words, such as point or line
15
New cards
coplanar points
points that lie in the same plane
16
New cards
endpoints
Points that represent the ends of a line segment or ray
17
New cards
distance
The absolute value of the difference of two coordinates on a line
18
New cards
exterior of an angle
the region that contains all the points outside of an angle
19
New cards
interior of an angle
the region that contains all the points between the sides of an angle
20
New cards
intersection
the set of points two or more geometric figures have in common
21
New cards
line
a line has one dimension. It is represented by a line with two arrowheads, but it extends without end.
22
New cards
line segment
consists of two endpoints and all the points between them
23
New cards
linear pair
two adjacent angles whose noncommon sides are opposite rays
24
New cards
measure of an angle
the absolute value of the difference between the real numbers matched with the two rays that form the angle on a protractor
25
New cards
midpoint
the point that divides a segment into to congruent segments
26
New cards
opposite rays
If point C lies on line AB between A and B, then ray CA
27
New cards
and ray CB are opposite rays.
28
New cards
obtuse angle
An angle that has a measure greater than 90° and less than 180°
29
New cards
point
A location in space that is represented by a dot and has no dimension
30
New cards
plane
A flat surface made up of points that has two dimensions and extends without end, and is represented by a shape that looks like a floor or a wall
31
New cards
ray
AB is a ray if it consists of the endpoint A and all
32
New cards
points on line AB that lie on the same side of A as B.
33
New cards
postulate
A rule that is accepted without proof
34
New cards
segment
Consists of two endpoints and all the points between them
35
New cards
right angle
An angle that has a measure of 90°
36
New cards
sides of an angle
The rays of an angle
37
New cards
segment bisector
A point, ray, line, line segment, or plane that intersects the segment at its midpoint
38
New cards
supplementary angles
Two angles whose measures have a sum of 180°
39
New cards
straight angle
An angle that has a measure of 180°
40
New cards
vertex of an angle
The common endpoint of the two rays that form an angle
41
New cards
undefined terms
Words that do not have formal definitions, but there is agreement about what they mean
42
New cards
vertical angles
Two angles whose sides form two pairs of opposite rays
