Geometry Chapter 1 Vocablulary

vocabulary for 1-1 to 1-5 don't forget the distance formula or the midpoint formula! There are lots of 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
congruent figuresfigures that have the same size and shape
congrent segmentssegments that are equal in length
segment bisectora segment, line or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint
How many points determine a plane?3
How many points determine a line?2
Does a plane have edges?No
How many planes can contain 3 collinear points?Infinitely many
Do two planes always intersect?No
How many lines can pass through one point?Infinitely many
Rayhalf a line
opposite rays2 rays that share the same endpoint and form a line
anglea figure formed by 2 rays that have the same endpoint
straight anglean angle whose measure is 180 degrees
right anglean angle whose measure is 90 degrees
obtuse anglean angle whose measure is between 90 and 180 degrees
acute anglean angle whose measure is between 0 and 90 degrees
angle bisectora ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles
Every angle has ___ angle bisectorone
every segment has _____ segment bisectorsinfinitely many
every segment has ______ midpointone
congruent anglesangles with equal measures
adjacent anglesangles in the same plane that have a common vertex and a common side but no common interior points
vertical angles2 nonadjacent angles formed by 2 intersecting lines
linear pair2 adjacent angles whose noncommon side form a straight line
Thm: vertical angles are _____congruent
supplementary angles2 angles whose measures add to 180
complementary angles2 angles whose measures add to 90
if 2 angles are a linear pair, then they are also ____ and ____adjacent and supplementary
perpendicular linestwo lines that intersect and form a right angle
If two angles for a linear pair, then they add to ____180
