Term
Angle(s)
Definition

[image]

Angles are figures formed by two rays with a common endpoint.

Term
Midpoint
Definition

[image]

A Midpoint is on a line segment, the point that is halfway between the endpoints.

Term
(Angle) Bisector
Definition

[image]

A Bisector is a ray whose endpoint is vertex of the angle; inside the angle
