Geometry

Chapter 1

QuestionAnswer
coordinate plane a plane for which two perpendicular number lines that intersect at their zero points have been used to match the points of the place one-to-one with ordered pairs of numbers
ordered pair a pair of numbers given in a specific order. ordered pairs are used to locate points on a plane.
collinear points points that lie on the same line.
noncollinear points points that do not lie on the same line.
plane a basic undefined term of geometry. planes can be thought of as flat surfaces that extend forever in all directions and have no thickness. in a figure a plane is represented by a parallelogram.
line a basic undefined term of geometry. lines extend indefinatly and have no thickness or width. in a figure a line is shown with arrows at each end. named by lowercase script letters
point a basic undefined term of geometry. points have no size. in a figure a point is represented by a dot. a point is named by a capital letter
coplaner points points that lie on the same plane, existing in the same plane, there can be lines or figures on the same plane.
space a boundless three-dimensional set of all points
area of a rectangle the formula for the area of a rectangle is A=LW. where A represents the area expressed in square units, L represents the length, and W represents the width
area the number of square units contained in the interior of a figure
perimeter the number of units around a figure
perimeter of a rectangle the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is p=2W=2L, where p represents the perimeter, l represents the length of the rectangle, and w represents the width of a rectangle
between in general, B is between A and C if anf onlu if A, B, and C are collinear and AB+BC=AC
measure the length of AB, written as AB, is the distance between AB
postulate A statement that describes a fundamental relationship between the basic terms of geometry. postulates are accepted as true without truth.
postualte 1-1(ruler postulate) the points on any line can be paired with the real numbers so that, given any two points P and Q on the line, P corresponds to zero, and Q corresponds to a positive number
distance it is always positive, and on a number line the formula is d=/a-b/
postulate 1-2(segment addition postulate) if Q is between P and R, then C. if

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
