A | B |
Plane | A flat surface that extends on forever in all directions |
Angle | Two rays that begin at the same point |
Vertex | The point at the corner of an angle |
Ray | Part of a line that has one endoint and extends on forever in one direction |
Line | Straight path of points that extend forever in opposite directions |
Congruent | Having the same measure |
Measure of an angle | Number of degrees in an angle |
Congruent angles | Angles that have the same measure |
Acute Angle | An angle less than 90' |
Right Angle | An angle equal to 90' |
Obtuse Angle | An angle greater than 90' |
Straight | A straight line; an angle equal to 180' |
Complementary | Two angles whose sum is 90' |
Supplementary | Two angles whose sum is 180' |
Vertical angles | Angles formed by intersecting lines; they are congruent |
Perpendicular | Two lines that intersect at right angles |
Parallel | Two lines in the same plane that never meet |
Right Triangle | A triangle with one right angle |
Pythagorean Theorem | Sum of the squares of the measure of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse |
Legs of a right triangle | Two sides of a right triangle that create the right angle |
Hypotenuse | The side opposite the right angle in a right triangle; it is always the longest side |
