A | B |
collinear | (points) on the same line |
noncollinear | (points) not on the same line |
point | undefined term - represented by a "dot", no actual size, named with a capital letter |
line | undefined term, extends forever in 2 directions, straight, no thickness, determined by 2 points |
plane | undefined term, a flat surface that extends forever, has no thickness, determined by 3 noncollinear points |
coplanar | on the same plane |
noncoplanar | not on the same plane |
intersection of two figures | the set of points that are in both figures |
the segment addition postulate | If B is between A and C as a picture: A-----B----C, then AB + BC = AC |
midpoint | If A-------M---------B where M is the midpoint, then AM = MB |
congruent figures | figures that have the same size and shape |
congrent segments | segments that are equal in length |
segment bisector | a segment, line or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint |

Ray | half a line |
opposite rays | 2 rays that share the same endpoint and form a line |
