🗑
Collinear points   Points that lie on the same line  
🗑
Plane   A flat surface that has no thickness and extends in all directions without end.  
🗑
Coplanar   Points and lines in the same plane.  
🗑
Postulate/Axiom   An accepted statement or fact.  
🗑
Through any two points there is exactly ___line.   one  
🗑
Postulate If two lines intersect, then they intersect in exactly one ____.   point  
🗑
Postulate If two planes intersect, then they intersect in exactly one ___   line  
🗑
Postulate Through any three noncollinear points there is exactly one ___   plane  
🗑
Segment   The part of a line consisting of two endpoints and all points between them.  
🗑
Ray   The part of a line consisting of one endpoint and all the points on one side of the endpoint.  
🗑
Opposite Rays   Two collinear rays with the same endpoint; opposite rays always form a line.  
🗑
Parallel Lines   Coplanar lines that do not intersect.  
🗑
Skew Lines   Skew lines are noncoplanar; therefore, they are not parallel and do not intersect.  
🗑
Parallel Planes   Planes that do not intersect, and are not skew.  
🗑
Ruler Postulate   every point has a name.  
🗑
Congruent Segments   Two segments with the same length are congruent (≡) segments.  
🗑
Segment Addition Potulate   part + part = whole  
🗑
Midpoint   A point that divides a segment in two congruent segments.  
🗑
Angle   Two rays with the same endpoint (vertex).  
🗑
Protractor Postulate (Postulate 1.7) Any angle can have only ___ measure at a time   one  
🗑
Acute Angle   0 < X < 90  
🗑
Right Angle   X = 90  
🗑
Obtuse Angle   90 < X < 180  
🗑
Straight Angle   X = 180  
🗑
Angle Addition Postulate   part + part = whole  
🗑
Perpendicular Lines   Two lines that intersect to form right angles.  
🗑
Perpendicular Bisector   A line, segment, or ray that is perpendicular to the segment at its midpoint,  
🗑
Angle Bisector   A ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles. Its endpoint is at the vertex.  
🗑
The Pythagorean Thm is used in the ___   The Distance Formula

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
