Geometry Chapter 1 Vocabulary

AB
acute angleAn angle with measure between 0 degrees and 90 degrees
angleConsists of two rays with the same endpoint. The rays are the sides and the endpoint is the vertex.
collinear pointsPoints that lie on the same line
congruent anglesAngles that have the same measure
congruent segmentsSegments that have the same length
conjectureAn unproven statement that is based on a pattern or observation
coordinateThe real number that corresponds to a point on a line
coplanar linesLines that lie on the same plane
coplanar pointsPoints that lie on the same plane
counterexampleAn example that show that a conjecture is false
degreesThe units that are used to measure angles
distanceThe absolute value of the difference of the coordinates of the two points on a line
endpointA point at the boundary of line segment or ray
inductive reasoningA process that includes looking for patterns and making conjectures
intersectionThe point or points that two or more figures have in common
lengthThe distance between the endpoints of a segment or two points on a line
lineA straight arrangement of points that extends infinitely in both directions
obtuse angleAn angle with measure between 90 degrees and 180 degrees
planeA flat surface that has no thickness that extends in all directions and has length and width but no thickness
pointNames location and has no size
postulateA statement that is accepted without proof
rayPart of a line, with one endpoint, and extending to infinity in one direction
right angleAn angle with measure 90 degrees
segmentTwo points on a line and all the points between them
straight angleAn angle with measure of 180 degrees
undefined termWords such as point, line and plane that are not mathematically defined using other known words
vertex of an angleThe point on an angle where the two sides intersect
