Lines and Angles

AB
angle, where two rays or line segments meet at a common vertex (endpoint) or where two sides of a figure meet.
acute angle, Any angle less than 90 degrees but more than 0 degrees
obtuse angle, Any angle measuring greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees
ray, Has a starting point but no ending point
line, A path that is endlessly straight with no beginning or ending point
line segment, A section of a line that has two endpoints, usually named by letters
point, A specific position in space, usually named by a letter
vertex, A point where two or more rays meet or a point where the arms of an angle meet
degrees, Unit for measuring the size of angles
inner scaleOne measure of degrees on a protractor; used to measure an angle that passes through the zero mark on the inside of the protractor
outer scale, One measure of degrees on a protractor; used to measure an angle that passes through the zero mark on the outside of the protractor
right angle, Angle measuring exactly 90 degrees
protractor, Tool for measuring the size of an angle in degrees
perpendicular, Two lines intersect at a 90 degree angle
parallel, Two lines that are always the same distance apart and never cross
fourNumber of angles in a square or rectangle; same as its number of sides
threeNumber of angles in a triangle; same as its number of sides
eightNumber of angles in an octagon; same as its number of sides
angleThe corner of a figure like a square or triangle; where two sides of a figure meet
vertex, The point that is always in the MIDDLE when using letters to name an angle <aBc
straight angle, Angle with a measure of exactly 180 degrees
arm, Another name for a ray or line segment that is part of an angle
baseline, Lines up with the arm of an angle that goes through the zero mark; straight edge of protractor
center mark, Must be aligned with the vertex of an angle
line segment
line
ray
