Term
Definition
Set   collection of objects grouped in some way  
🗑
Point   may be represented as a dot; it has no dimensions; it has no size; it only shows position  
🗑
Line   a line may be treated as a set of points either curved or straight; a straight line may be considered an infinite set of points extending indefnitely in 2 opposite directions; a line has no endpoints, no width, no length  
🗑
Straight Line   a straight line may be considered an infinite set of points extending indefnitely in 2 opposite directions; a line has no endpoints, no width, no length; it may represented in 2 ways - Naming 2 points on it (use capital letters), or use a small letter  
🗑
Plane   may be considered as a set of points forming a completely flat surface extending indefinitely in all directions; a plane has no thickness; it may be represneted by a capital letter. "Plane P  
🗑
Number Line   a straight line each of whose points can be associated with a real number  
🗑
DIstance between 2 Points   on the real number line is the absolute value of the difference of the coordinates os the two points  
🗑
Collinear Set of Points   a set of points all of which lie on the same straight line  
🗑
Betweeness of Points on a Line   If A, B, and C are collinear points, such that AB+BC=AC, then B is between A and C  
🗑
Line Segment   a line segment or segment is a set of points on a line called endpoints, and the set of all points on the line bewteen the end points  
🗑
Half Line   the set of all the points in a line on the same side of a dividing point, not including the dividing point  
🗑
Ray   is the set of all point in a half line including the dividing point which is called the Endpoint of the Ray  
🗑
Length of a Line Segment   is the distance between its endpoints  
🗑
Congruent segments   are segments that have the same length  
🗑
Midpoint of a Line Segment   is the point of that line segment that divides the segment into two congruent segments  
🗑
Segment is Bisected at a Point   if the point is the midpoint of the line segment  
🗑
Bisector of a line segment   divides the segment into 2 congruent segments  
🗑
Angle   is a set of points which is the union of 2 rays having the same ednpoint  
🗑
Straight Angle   if the two rays that form an agle are opposite rays, the angle is a straight angle  
🗑
Right Angle   is an angle whose measure is 90 degrees  
🗑
Straight angle   is an angle whose meaures is 180 degrees  
🗑
Acute angle   is an angle whose measure is between 0 and 90 degrees

Obtuse angle   an angle whose measure is bewteen 90 and 180 degrees  
🗑
Reflex Angle   is an angle whose measure is between 180 and 360 degrees  
🗑
Congruent angles   are angles which have the same measure  
🗑
Angle bisector   divides an angle into two congruent angles  
🗑
Adjacent angles   are two angles in the same plane which have a common vertex, a common side, but do not have any interior points in common  
🗑
Vertical angles   are two angles which have a common vertex and whose sides are two pairs of opposite rays  
🗑
Complementary angles   are two angles the sum of whose measures is 90 degrees  
🗑
Supplementary angles   are two angles the sum of whose measures is 180 degrees  
🗑
Linear Pair   2 abgles with a common side and whose non-common sides are a pair of opposte rays  
🗑
Perpiindicular Lines   2 lines which intersect and form right angles  
🗑
Perpindicular Bisector of a line segment   a line, line segment or a ray which is perpendicular to the line segment and bisects the line segment  
🗑
Polygon   a closed figure us a plane which is the union of line segments  
🗑
Triangle   a polygon that has 3 sides  
🗑
Scalene Triangle   triangle with no congruent sides

🗑


   

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.
