AB
planea flat surface that extends indefinitely in all directions and has no thickness
intersecting linesThese lines lie in the same plan and have exactly one point in common
parallel linesThese lines lie in the same plan and never intersect
skew linesLines that lie in different planes. They aren't parallel nor intersecting.
pointA location - no size - named by a capital letter
linea series of points that extend in opposite directions without end.
rayA part of a line with one endpoint and all the points of the line on one side of the endpoint
segmentA part of a line with two endpoints and all points in between
acute anglean angle with the measure between 0 - 90 degrees
right anglean angle with the measure of 90 degrees
obtuse anglean angle that measures between 90 - 180 degrees
straight angle180 degrees ( a straight line)
complementary anglesangles that together measure 90 degrees
supplementary angleangles that together measure 180 degrees
adjacent anglesangles that share a vertex and a side but have no interior points in common
vertical anglesformed by 2 intersecting lines and are opposite each other
congruent anglesangles with equal measures
isosceles triangletriangle that has at least 2 congruent sides
equilateral triangletriangle that has 3 congruent sides
scalene triangletriangle that has NO congruent sides
angle sum of a triangle180 degrees

radiusa segment that connects the center of a circle to the circle
diametera segment that passes through the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle
central anglean angle with its vertex at the center of a circle
chorda segment that has both endpoints on the circle
arcpart of a circle
semicirclehalf of a circle

rectanglefour right angles
perpendicular lineslines that intersect to form right angles
Pythagorean TheoremIn any right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hyotenuse.
circumferencethe distance around the circle
areathe number of square units the figure encloses
