Cards Term zero angle Definition angle whose measure = 0 degrees Term acute angle Definition an angle whose measureis between 0 degrees and 90 degrees Term right angle Definition an angle whose measure equals 90 degrees Term obtuse angle Definition an angle measure is between 90 degrees and 180 degrees Term straight angle Definition an anglewhose measure equals 180 degrees Term complementray angles Definition two angles whose sum equals 90 degrees. each angle is called the complmentof the other Term supplementary angles Definition two angles whose sum equals 180 degrees. each angle is called the supplementof the angle Term adjacent angles Definition two angles that share a common ray Term linear pair angles Definition adjacent angles that form a straight line. tha sum of a linear pair = 180 degreed Term vertical angles Definition opposite angles formed by intersecting lines. vertical angles are equal (congruent) Term point (no dimension) Definition - exact location in space represented by a dot Term line (1 dimension) Definition - made up of least 2 points - points that goes on both directions Term plane Definition - consits of at least three points - extends in 2 dimensions ( surface of a table) Term collinear points Definition point that lie on the same line Term coplanar points Definition points that lie on the same plane Term line segment Definition - part of a line that has exactly two end points Term ray Definition - part of a line with exacctly one endpoint and one side that extends in one direction Term opposite rays Definition - 2 rays that share the same endpoint and forms a line Term parallel lines Definition lines that have the same slpoes and never meet Term intersecting lines Definition 2 or more lines that meet at a common point Term angles Definition figures made up of 2 rays that share a common endpoint Term skew lines Definition non coplanar lines that do not interscet
