AB
anglethe union of two rays that have the same endpoint
bisectora point line ray or plane which divides a segment angle or figure into two parts of equal measure
arca part of a circle connecting two points on the circle
central angle of a circlean angle whose vertex is the center of the circle
minor arc AB of circle Othe points of circle O that are on or in the interior of angle AOB
major arc AB of circle Othe points of circle O that are on or in the exterior of angle AOB
degree measure of a minor arc AB of circle Othe measure of the central angle AOB
degree measure of a major arc ACB of circle O360 minus the measure of arc AB
concentric circlestwo or more circles that lie in the same plane and have the same center
imagethe result of applying a transformation to an original figure or preimage
preimagethe original figure in a transformation
clockwisethe direction in which the hands move on a nondigital clock designated by a negative magnitude
counterclockwisethe direction opposite that which the hands move on a nondigital clock designated by a positive magnitude
magnitude of rotationthe amount that the preimage is turned about the center of rotation measured in degrees from negative 180 to positive 180
zero anglean angle whose measure is zero
acute anglean angle whose measure is greater than 0 and less than 90
right anglean angle whose measure is 90
obtuse anglean angle whose measure is greater than 90 and less than 180
straight anglean angle whose measure is 180
complementary anglestwo angles the sum of whose measures is 90
supplementary anglestwo angle the sum of whose measures is 180
adjacent anglestwo nonstraight and nonzero angles with a common side interior to the angle formed by the noncommon sides
linear pairtwo adjacent angles whose noncommon sides are opposite rays
vertical anglestwo nonstraight and nonzero angles whose sides form two lines
proof argumenta sequence of justified conclusions leading from what is given or known to a final conclusion
transversala line that intersects two or more lines
corresponding anglesa pair of angles in similar locations when two lines are intersected by a transversal
slopein the coordinate plane the change in y values divided by the corresponding change in x values
perpendiculartwo segments rays or lines such that the lines containing them form a 90 degree angle
constructiona drawing which is made using only an unmarked straightedge and compass following certain prescribed rules
algorithma finite sequence of steps leading to a desired end
