Chapter 2.1 to 2.4 Geometry Terms

Geometry terms for the book Discovering Geometry, Key Curriculum Press, for chapter sections 2.1 to 2.4.

AB
pointbasic unit of geometry, it has no size & is infinitely small
planeundefined, flat surface of points with infinite length & width, no thickness
collinear2 or more points on the same line
coplanar2 or more points within the same plane
spacethe set of all possible points
line segment2 endpoints & all points between them
raya 1-D figure with endpoint A, point B, & all points between and beyond B
degree measurea unit of measure for angles
lineundefined, a straight arrangement of points
angle2 rays not on the same line that share a common endpoint
congruent2 geometric figures which are identical in size & shape
biconditionala conditional statement and its converse which are both true
counterexamplean example that proves a statement wrong
right anglean angle whose measure is 90 degrees
acute anglean angle whose measure is less than 90 degrees
obtuse anglean angle whose measure is greater than 90 degrees
midpointX is midpoint of segment AB if AX=XB
angle bisectora ray that has an endpoint on the vertex of an angle & divides the angle into 2 congruent angles
parallel lines2 or more lines in the sameplane which do not intersect
perpendicular2 lines that intersect to form a right angle
complimentary2 angles whose measures have to sum of 90 degrees
supplementary2 angles whose measures have the sum of 180 degrees
linear pair of anglesIf X, Y, and Z are collinear points & W is a point not on line XZ then angles XYW and WYZ form a linear pair of angles.
vertical anglesIf lines AB and CD intersect at point P so that P is between points A & B and C & D, then angles APC & BPD are 1 pair of vertical angles.
