Ch 10 Geometry Vocabulary Terms

There are 20 vocabulary terms in this game. You may want to play it more than one in order to utilize all of the terms. Some of the definitions are too large to fit on the cards. NOTE: the entire definition is listed at the bottom of the game.

AB
Planea flat surface that extends forever in all directions
Linea straight path of points that extend forever in opposite directions
Pointa dot that represents a location in a plane or in a space
Acute Anglean angle that measures between 0° and 90°
Right AngleAn angle measuring exactly 90 degrees
Obtuse Anglean angle that measures between 90° and 180°
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
Parallel lineslines in the same plane that do not intersect
Perpendicular linesTwo lines that intersect to form four 90 degree angles.
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.
line segmentpart of a line consisting of two endpoints and all the points between them
rayPart of a line that has one endpoint and extends forever in only one direction. Endpoints of rays are listed first.
Angletwo rays connected at their endpoints
vertexthe point at which the 2 rays of an angle meet
congruentsame measure
reflex anglean angle that measures between 180° and 360°
transversalThe line that intersects two parallel lines
Vertical angles (vertically opposite)The nonadjacent angles formed by 2 intersecting lines. the nonadjacent angles formed by 2 intersecting lines
