Term
corresponding angles
Definition
The angles that occupy the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others
Term
alternate interior angles
Definition
congruent angles formed by two parallel lines cut by a transversal; located on opposite sides of the transversal between the parallel lines
Term
alternate exterior angles
Definition
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the two pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines, and the angles in each pair are congruent
Term
same side interior angles
Definition
Two angles that are between the two parallel lines and are also on the same side of the transversal
Term
congruent
Definition
Identical in form; coinciding exactly when superimposed
Term
supplementary
Definition
they add to 180°
Term
vertical angles
Definition
Each of the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines
Term
acute
Definition
an angle less than 90 degrees but more than 0 degrees
Term
obtuse
Definition
an angle between 90 and 180 degrees
Term
right angle
Definition
An angle of 90°, as in a corner of a square or at the intersection of two perpendicular straight lines
Term
straight angle
Definition
An angle of 180°
Term
points
Definition
the intersection of two lines
Term
lines
Definition
A path through two or more points
Term
rays
Definition
a straight line extending from a point
Term
coplaner
Definition
In the same plane
Term
collinear

Lying in the same straight line
Term
ajacent angles
Definition
a common ray coming out of the vertex going between two other rays
Term
plane

A flat surface on which a straight line joining any two points on it would wholly lie.
Term
segment
Definition
Each of the parts into which something is or may be divided.
Term
space
Definition
A continuous area or expanse that is free, available, or unoccupied
Term
complemetary
Definition
Either of two angles whose sum is 90°
Term
bisector
Definition
A line or curve that bisects or divides a line segment, angle, or other figure into two equal parts
Term
parallel lines
Definition
Straight lines that point in the same direction and theoretically never converge.
Term
parallel planes
Definition
Two planes that will never intersect.
Term
perpendicular
Definition
At an angle of 90° to a given line, plane, or surface
Term
transversal
Definition
Intersecting a system of lines
Term
conditional
Definition
true for only certain values of the variable, as x + 3 > 0 is only true for real numbers greater than −3.
Term
hypothesis
Definition
Term
conclusion
Definition
Term
converse
Definition
something opposite or contrary.
Term
counter example
Definition
an example that refutes an assertion or claim.
Term
