Geometry Chapter 1 Vocablulary

vocabulary for 1-1 to 1-5 don't forget the distance formula or the midpoint formula! There are 23 definitions and questions, so you probably want to do the flashcards more than once to see all the words!

AB
collinear(points) on the same line
noncollinear(points) not on the same line
pointundefined term - represented by a "dot", no actual size, named with a capital letter
lineundefined term, extends forever in 2 directions, straight, no thickness, determined by 2 points
planeundefined term, a flat surface that extends forever, has no thickness, determined by 3 noncollinear points
coplanaron the same plane
noncoplanarnot on the same plane
intersection of two figuresthe set of points that are in both figures
the segment addition postulateIf B is between A and C as a picture: A-----B----C, then AB + BC = AC
midpointIf A-------M---------B where M is the midpoint, then AM = MB
