Define: Line SegmentA "line segment" is a line that has two endpoints.
Define: AngleAn "angle" is formed by two rays with the same endpoint.
What are Printed Capital Letter used for in Geometry?A printed capital letter is used to indicate a "point".
Define: RayA "ray" is a part of a line that consist of one endpoint and the other end goes on and NEVER ends.
Define: Opposite rays"Opposite rays" are collinear(share the same line) rays with the same endpoint.
What are Cursive Capital Letters used for in Geometry?a cursive capital letter is used to name or indicate a plane.
What are Cursive Lowercase Letters used for in Geometry?Lines can be named using any two points on the line or using a single cusive lowercase letter.
What are Printed Lowercase Letters used for in Geometry?Printed lowercase letters are used to identify unknown lengths in a diagram or illustration.
What is a special printed lowercase letter "m"?The letter "m" is used to indicate the measure of an angle or arc.
What does the symbol <---> stand for?Line
What does the symbol o---> stand for?Ray
What does the symbol o---o stand for?Line Segment
Name four things that Two Capital Letters printed together can mean?Two Capital Letters together can mean the following: 1) to represent the name of the line; 2) to represent the name of a ray; 3) to represent the name of a segament; 4) to represent the length of a line segament.
Name four things that Three Capital Letters printed together can mean?Three Capital Letters together can mean the following: 1) to represent an angle; 2) to represent a triangle; 3) to represent a major arc; 4) to represent a plane.
Define: LineA "line" goes on forever in both directions
Define: VertixThe "vertex" is the point at where the two rays of a angle intersect.
In angle The vertex is point "R".
A "plane" must be made up of at least how many points.A "plane" must be made up of at least three(3) points.
Define: ArcAn "arc" is a portion of the edge of a circle.
A "triangle" must be made up of at least how many points.A "triangle" must be made up of at least three(3) points.
Define: Acute angleAn Angle that is less then 90 Degrees (0-89 degrees)
Define: Right angleAn angles that is exactly and only 90 degress
Define: Obtuse angleAn Angle more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degress.
Define: Straight AngleA straight line that measures exactly and only 180 degrees
Define: Angle bisectorA line that divides an angle into two equal parts.
Define: Exterior of an angleThe "Exterior of an angle" is the area outside of an angle.
Define: Interior of an angleThe "Interior of an angle" is the area inside of an angle.
Define: Supplementary anglesSupplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180 degrees.
Define: Complementary anglesComplementary angles are two angles that add up to 90 degrees.
Define: Adjacent anglesAdjacent angles share "one side" together.
Define: Linear pairA Linear pair are two angles that share the same line.
Define: Vertical angles (Oppose angles)Vertical angles (Opposite angles) are two angles oppose each other when two lines intersect - vertical or opposite angles are congruent (equal to each other).
Define: CongruentCongruent means equal to each other.
