AB
Define: LineLinnes extend indefinitely and have no thickness they are an basic undefined term in Geometry
What is the geometric symbole for a "Line"?<-->
Define: SpaceSpace is a boundless, three-dementional set of all points
Define: PointPoints have no size and are represented by a "dot" - they are an basic undefined term in Geometry.
Define: PlanePlanes can be thought of as flat surfaces that extend indefinitely in all directions and have no thickness they are an basic undefined term in Geometry
Define: CollinearCollinear refers to points that lie on the same line.
Define: CoplanarCoplanar are all poins and lines that share the same plane.
True or False: All the points in a coordinated plane (points on a graph) are coplanar.True
Define: Intersecting LinesIntersecting Lines are lines that cross or touch each other at one point
Define: Parallel LinesParallel Lines are lines in the same plane that do not intersect.
Define: Perpendicular LinesPerpendicular Lines are two lines that intersect to form tight angles.
What letter is used to represent a "point"?Points are named by "Capital Printed Lettersx -."
What is used to represent a "plane"?Planes are named by "Capital Script Letters."
Define: Skew LinesSkew Lines are lines that DO NOT intersect and are not on the same plane.
Define: RaysRays is a line that on one side has an end point and on the opposite side goes on indefinately.
What symbol is used to represent a "Ray"?--->
Define: Line SegmentsLine segment are lines that have an end point and each end.
What symbol is used to represent a "Line Segment"?.__________.
What is it called where Planes intersect?Where Planes intersect is called Planes intersect at the "Line of Intersection."
True or False: Planes have "thickness"False
Define: CoordinatesCoordinates make up a point on a line or graph
What is a "Coordinated Plane"?A "Coordinated Plane" is a graph.
Define: Congruent SegmentsCongruent Segments are "segments that are equal".
Define: MidpointThe midpoint is a point on a line, ray, or other segment that divides it into "two equal parts." - bisects it
Define: BisectTo divide something into "two equal parts."
Define: AngleAn angle is formed by two rays with the same midpooint
What is the symbol for an "angle"?"<" example:
What is a "Protractro"?A Protractor is used to measure angles
Define: Acute angleAn acute angles is an angle that measures less that 90 degrees. An acute angle w one that
Define: Right angleA "right angles" messsures exactly 90 degrees
DEfine: Obtuse angleAn obtuse angle measures in excess of 90 degrees
Define: Straight angleA straight angle measres extactly 180 degrees
Define: Congruent anglesCongruent angles are angles that "are equal."
Define: ConstructionConstruction is th use of a straightedge and a compas to draw a geometric figure
Define: StraightedgeA straightedge is a ruler with no markings
Define: CompassA compass is a geometric tool used to draw circles and and parts of circles called arcs
Define: Perpendicular LinesPerpendicular Lines are two(2) line that intersect to form "two(2) right angles."
Define: Perpendicular BisectorA perpendicular bisector iof a segment is a line, segment, or ray that is perpendicular to the segment at its "midpont", thereby "bisecting (divding into two(2) equal parts) the segment into two(2) "concruent (equal)" segments
Define: Angle BisectorAn angle bisector is a ray that divides an angle into two(2) congruent (equal) coplanar angles.
What is the endpoint of an "angle bisector" called?The end point of an "angle bisector" is called its "vertx".
