Points, Lines, Planes, & Angles

Definitions Coordinated with Glencoe Geometry, Chapter 1

AB
Coordinate PlaneA plane in which 2 perpendicular number lines intersect at their zero points
x-axisthe horizontal number line on a coordinate plane
y-axisthe vertical number line on a coordinate plane
originThe intersection point of the x- and y- axis of the coordinate plane. Identified as the point (0,0)
quadrantOne of the 4 regions into which the x- & y-axis divide the coordinate plane
ordered pairA pair of numbers used to locate a specific point on a plane of the form (x, y)
collinear pointspoints that lie on the same line
noncollinear pointspoints that do not lie on the same line
planea flat surface that extends indefinitely in all directions, but has no thickness
linesextends indefinitely and has to thickness or width
pointsusually represented by a dot, put has no size
spacethe boundless, 3-dimensional set of all points
coplanar pointspoints that lie on the same plane
A = lwformula for area of a rectangle
areathe number of square units inside a closed shape
perimeterthe distance around a figure
P = 2L + 2Wformula for perimeter of a rectangle
Pythagorean Theoremin a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the measures of the legs is equal to the square of the measure of the hypotenuse
congruentsimilar shapes that have the same measure
bisectorany segment, line, or plane that intersects at a midpoint
theorema general statement that has been proven true through postulates, definitions, algebraic properties, or rules of logic
postulatea basic statement that has been accepted as true with no formal proof
proofa logical argument in which each statement is back up by a statement that is accepted as true
paragraph (informal) proofone type of proof written in paragraph form that explains why a conjecture is true.
anglea figures consisting of 2 rays with a common endpoint
raya line with one endpoint and extends indefinitely in one direction
opposite raystwo rays that share the same endpoint and point in opposite directions
vertexthe common endpoint of 2 rays that form an angle
right anglemeasures exactly 90 degrees
acute anglemeasures less than 90 degrees
obtuse anglemeasures more than 90 degrees
perpendicular linesintersecting lines that form right angles
supplementary anglestwo angles whose measures have a sum of 180 degrees
complementary anglestwo angles whose measures have a sum of 90 degrees
