GEOM 3.0 Vocabulary

Starting point for students to learn and remember vocabulary for angle relationships in parallel lines and triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem.

AB
acute angle, angle greater than 0° and less than 90°
angle, figure formed by two rays with a common endpoint called a vertex
congruent, having the same size and shape
obtuse angle, angle greater than 90° but less than 180°
parallel lines, lines in a plane that do not intersect
vertex, on an angle or polygon, the point where two sides intersect
alternate exterior angles, pair of angles that lie on opposite sides of transversal, outside the other two lines
alternate interior angles, pair of nonadjacent angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal
alternateevery other or second, taking turns in a pattern
interiorinside, inner
exterioroutside, outer
corresponding angles, angles on same side of transversal, same side of the other lines (same relative position)
correspondingsimilar in character, form, function
exterior angle, angle formed by one side of a polygon and the extension of an adjacent side
interior angle, angle on the inner sides of two line cut by a transversal
consecutive interior angle, pair of angles on the same side of a transversal and between two lines intersected by transversal
similar, same shape, not necessarily the same size
transversal, line that intersects two or more lines
adjacentnext to or adjoining something
polygon, closed plane figure formed by three or more line segments
skew, two lines that are not coplanar and do not intersect
Postulate 13: Parallel Postulate, If there is a line and a point not on the line, then there is exactly one line through the point parallel to the given line.
Postulate 14: Perpendicular Postulate, If there is a line and a point not on the line, then there is exactly one line through the point perpendicular to the given line.
