Term
Definition
net   Two-dimensional diagram that you can fold to form a three-dimensional figure  
🗑
isometric drawing   drawing that shows the corner view of a three-dimensional figure  
🗑
orthographic drawing   another way to represent a three-dimensional figure  
🗑
point   indicates a location and has no size  
🗑
line   a straight path that extends in two opposite directions without an end and has no thickness  
🗑
plane   flat surface that extends without an end and has no thickness  
🗑
collinear points   points that lie on the same line  
🗑
coplanar   points and lines that lie in the same plane  
🗑
ray   part of a line that only has one endpoint  
🗑

🗑
space   set of all points in a three-dimensional figure  
🗑
segment   part of a line that has two endpoints  
🗑
postulate   accepted statement of fact  
🗑
axiom   accepted statement of fact  
🗑
segment bisector   the point, line, or segment that bisects another line or segment  
🗑
vertex of an angle   endpoint of an angle  
🗑
measure of an angle   Consider ray OD and point C on one side of ray OD. Every ray of the form ray OC can be paired one to one with a real number from 0 to 180. The measure of angle COD is the absolute value of the difference of the real numbers paired with ray OC and ray OD

🗑
vertical angles   two angles whose sides are opposite rays  
🗑
supplementary angles   two angles that have the sum of 180 degrees  
🗑
complementary angles   two angles that have the sum of 90 degrees  
🗑
adjacent angles   two coplanar angles with a common side or vertex and no common interior points  
🗑
linear pair   pair of adjacent angles whose noncommon sides are opposite rays  
🗑
angle bisector   line or segment that divides an angle in half  
🗑
construction   geometric figure drawn using a straightedge or compass  
🗑
perpendicular lines   two lines that intersect forming right angles  
🗑
perpendicular bisector   line, segment, or ray that is perpendicular to the segment at its midpoint  
🗑
congruent segments   segments that are the same length  
🗑
intersection   set of points the figure has in common  
🗑
coordinate   the number that corresponds to a point  
🗑
distance   area between two points  
🗑
midpoint   the center of a point, line, or any other segment  
🗑
