---|---|
acute angle | less than 90 degrees. |
angle | two rathat are connected at the end point. the end point is called the vertex. |
angle bisector | a ray that divides an angle into two congruent. |
collinear points | points that lie on the same line. |
congruent angles | angles that have the same measurement. |
congruent segments | segements that have the same length. |
conjecture | a conclusion reached by using inductive reasoning. |
coordinate | is it distance and direction from the origin of a number line. |
coplanar | points and lines in the same plane are coplanar. |
counterexample | a particular example or instance of the statement the makes the statement false. |
inductive reasoning | a type of reasoning that reaches conclusions based on a pattern of specific examples or past events. |
opposite rays | opposite ray start at the same point and goes on in the same direction. |
parallel lines | parallel lines are coplanar lines that do not intersect. |
perpendicular lines | they intersect to form right angles. |
plane | thickness. it extends without end in all directions. |
point | a point has no length. |
postulate | a statement accepted to be true without proof. |
ray | a ray is a part of a line that consist of a line that lie on one side of the initial point. |
right angle | exactly 90 degrees. |
segment | a portion of a line batween two points called end points. |
skew lines | are lines that do not lie on the same plane. |
