A segment part of a line containing two endpoints and all the points between them.

[image]

Term
Ray
Definition

A ray is part of a line that extends indefinitely in one direction from a fixed point.

[image]

Term
Plane
Definition

A plane is two-dimensional flat surface that extends in all directions.

[image]

Term
Opposite Rays
Definition

Opposite rays are about two rays that are part of the same line and have only their endpoints in common.

[image]

Term
Collinear
Definition

Collinear is all about three or more points that lie on the same line. In the figure, PQ, and R are collinear points.

Term
Coplanar
Definition

A coplanar is about points or lines that lie in the same plane.

[image]

Term
Angle
Definition

An angle is a figure formed by two rays with a common endpoint.

[image]

Term
Midpoint
Definition

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

[image]

Term
Bisector
Definition
A bisector is a ray whose endpoint is the vertex of the angle and is located in the interior of the angle. It separates a given angle into two angles with equal measure.
Term
Congruent
Definition

Congruent means

Having the same measure.

[image]

Term
Vertex
Definition

The vertex is a common endpoint of the rays forming the angle.

[image]

Term
Acute angles
Definition

An acute angle is a angle with a measure greater than 0° and less than 90°.

[image]

Term
Obtuse angles
Definition

An obtuse angle is a type of angle that measures more than 90° but less than 180°.

[image]

Term

Right Angle

Definition

A right angle measures exactly 90°.

[image]

Term
Straight angle
Definition

A straight angle measures exactly to 180°.

[image]

Term
Complementary angle
Definition

Two angles are complementary angles if the sum of their measures is 90°.

[image]

Term
Supplementary angles
Definition

Two angles are supplementary angles if the sum of their measures is 180°.

[image]

Term
Vertical angles
Definition

Vertical angles are about pposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines.

[image]

Term
Adjacent angles
Definition

Adjacent angles are angles that have the same vertex, share a common side, and do not overlap.

[image]

Term
Linear Pair
Definition

A linear pair is two supplementary adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines.

[image]

Term
Perpendicular Lines
Definition

Perpendicular lines are lines which meet to form right angles.

[image]

Term
Polygons
Definition

A polygon is a simple closed figure in a plane formed by three or more line segments.

[image]

Here are examples of a variety of polygons.

Term
Concave
Definition


Concave- Are angles that point inwards.

[image]

Term
Regular
Definition

Regular- All sides of the shape are congruent.


[image]

Term
Diagonal
Definition

A diagonal is a segment joining two nonconsecutive vertices of a polygon. In the figure, [image] is a diagonal.

[image]

Term

Side

 

Definition

The sides are the two rays that form an angle. In the figure, [image] and [image] are sides of [image]RST.[image]

or

The side is the segments that form a closed figure.

Term
Perimeter
Definition

The perimeter is the distance around a closed geometric figure.

[image]

Term
Triangle
Definition
Triangles is the shape of 3 sides.[image]
Term
Irregular
Definition

Irregular- 2 sides of the angle are congruent but they are not congruent with the other 2. For example, a rectagle because it has the 2 short sides that are congruent with each other 2 long sides are not congruent with the short sides but onyl with each other.

[image]

Term
