Vertex | The point where two rays meet, creating an angle |
Acute Angle | An angle that measures less than ninety degrees |
Right Angle | An angle that measures exactly ninety degrees |
Obtuse Angle | An angle that measures greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees |
Sides of an Angle | The rays that make up an angle |
Congruent Angles | Angles that have the same measure |
Interior of an Angle | Points that lie between the two sides of an angle |
Exterior of an Angle | Points that lie outside the two sides of an angle |
Adjacent Angles | Two angles that share a common vertex and side, but have no common interior points |
Midpoint | The point that divides a segment into two congruent segments |
Segment Bisector | A segment, ray, line, or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint |
Angle Bisector | A ray that divides an angle into two adjacent angles that are congruent |
Straight Angle | An angle that measures exactly one hundred eighty degrees |
Compass | A construction tool used to draw arcs |
Straightedge | A ruler without marks |
