Geometry Notecards

By Stephanie Stone

AB
conjectureunproven statement based on observations
inductive reasoninga process that includes looking for patterns and making conjectures
postulatesrules that are eccepted without proof. aka axioms
cooridinatesThe real number that corresponds to a point on a line
coplanarPoints that lie on the same line
rayPart of a line that consists of a point, called an initial point, and all points on the line that extend in one direction.
congruent segmentsSegments that have the same length
complementary anglesTwo angles whose measures have the sum 90 degrees.
distance formulaThe distance between two points. p. 19
lineAn infininite amount of points.
segment addition postulateIf B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC, If AB + BC = AC, then B is between A and C.
adjacent anglesTwo angles with a common vertex and side but no common interior points.
angle bisectorA ray that divides an angle into two adjacent angles that are congruent.
vertical anglesTwo angles whose sides form two pairs of opposite rays.
right angleA ninety degree angle
area of a squareSide squared
area of a rectangleLength times width.
collinearpoints on the same line
counterexamplean example that disproves a conjecture
axiomsa postulate, an unproven conjecture
linear pairtwo points or coordinate set up (x,y)
line segmenta segment of a line with two end points.
opposite raystwo rays with the same initial pt. extending in opposite directions
midpointthe point which divides a segment into two equal portions
midpoint formula[(x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2]
3 undifined termspoint, line, plane
angle2 different rays with a common point
angle addition postulatem<abc + m<cbd =m<abd
segment bisectora ray that divides an angle in half
supplementary anglestwo angles which the degree's sum is 180 degrees
acute angleany angle less then 90 degrees
obtuse angleany angle more then 90 degrees
perimeterthe sum of the sides of a shape
area of a triangleone half base times height
are of a circlepie times radius squared
