Some terms may be used more than once.

AB
rayExtends indefinitely in ONE direction, has exactly ONE endpoint.
angleFigure formed by TWO NONCOLLINEAR rays with a common endpoint.
adjacent anglesCoplanar angles with a common vertex, common side, and NO common interior points.
vertical angles2 non-adjacent angles that share a vertex and are formed by intersecting lines.
linear pairAdjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays.
perpendicular lines2 lines that intersect to form 4 right angles.
complementary angles2 angles whose measures sum to 90 degrees.
supplementary angles2 angles whose measures sum to 180 degrees.
acute angleAngle with a measure of less than 90 degrees.
obtuse angleAngle with a measure of more than 90 degrees AND less than 180 degrees.
right angleAngle with a measure of exactly 90 degrees.
straight angleAngle with a measure of exactly 180 degrees.
vertexThe common endpoint of the 2 rays forming an angle.
opposite rays2 rays that together form a straight angle.
measure of an angleThe number of degrees between the sides of the angle.
Angle Addition Postulate
Angle Addition PostulateThe sum of the measures of two adjacent angles equals the measure of whole large angle.
congruentHaving the same measure.
angle bisectorDivides an angle into 2 congruent angles.
vertical angles2 angles that share a vertex and are directly across the vertex from each other.
straight angleAn angle formed by 2 opposite rays.
Linear Pairs Postulate2 angles that form a linear pair are supplementary.
ray AB
