geometry vocab

Equidistant

Euclidian geometry is the study of flat two dimensional shapes whereas non-Euclidian geometry is a study of curved surfaces

Non-Euclidean geometry

Euclidian geometry the study of flat dimensional shapes, whereas non-nuclear geometry, the study of curved surfaces

plane Euclidian geometry

the study of plan, solid figures on the basis of postulates and theorems employed by the Greek mathematician Euclid

skew lines

Non-complainer lines that do not intersect and are not parallel

spherical geometry

The study of geometric objects on the surface of a sphere

Transversal

A line that intersects to other coplanar lines at different points to produce interior and exterior angles

alternate exterior angles

Angles formed OUTSIDE parallel lines and on either side of the transversal

alternate interior angles

angles formed INSIDE parallel lines, and on either side of the transversal

Consecutive interior angles

Angles form between two parallel lines in on the same side of the transversal; also known as, same side interior angles

corresponding angles

a point or object and geometry that is the same distance away from two other points or objects
