Conjecturean educated guess based on an observed pattern
Inductive ReasoningMaking a prediction based upon an observed pattern
Deductive ReasoningDrawing a conclusion based on an elimination of options
Planea flat surface that continues indefinitely in all directions which is defined by 3 non-collinear points
LineA geometric object that has a minimum of two points and continues indefinitely in two directions
PointA geometric object without dimension. It has a location.
Acute AngleAn angle measuring less than 90 degrees.
Right AngleAn angle measuring exactly 90 degrees
Obtuse AngleAn angle measuring grater than 90 degrees
Straight AngleAn angle measuring exactly 180 degrees
Complementary AnglesTwo or more angles that may or may not be adjacent whose measures add up to 90 degrees
Supplementary AnglesTwo or more angles which may or may not be adjacent whose measures add up to 180 degrees
Linear PairTwo angles which are adjacent and together form a line. These angles are supplementary.
Parallel linestwo lines that never intersect and have the same slope.
Perpendicular linesTwo lines that intersect to form four 90 degree angles and whose slopes are a negative reciprocal of one another.
Skew linesNon-coplanar lines that are not parallel and do not intersect.
Alternate Interior AnglesAngles formed by parallel lines and a transversal that are on opposite sides of the transversal and both have a line above and below them. These angles are congruent.
Alternate Exterior AnglesAngles formed by parallel lines and a transversal that are on opposite sides of the transversal and only one has a line above it and the other has a line below it. These angles are congruent.
Corresponding AnglesAngles formed by parallel lines and a transversal that are on opposite sides of the transversal and both are located in the same position but are on different lines which are parallel to one another. These angles are congruent.
Same-Side Interior AnglesAngles formed by two parallel lines and a transversal. Both angles are on the same side of the transversal and both have a line above them and below them. These angles are supplementary.
