| Undefined Terms | A word that does not have a formal definition, but there is agreement about what the word means. 3 Undefined terms in Geometry: Point, Line, Plane
🗑
|
||||
| Point | A point has no dimension. It is usually represented by a dot and labeled with a capital letter. One of the undefined terms in Geometry.
🗑
|
||||
| Line | A line has one dimension. It is usally represented by a straight line with two arrowheads to indicate that the line extends without end in two directions. It is labeled by two points on the line with the line symbol written above.
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| Endpoints | The points on either end of a line segment...or one end of a ray.
🗑
|
||||
| Ray | Part of a line that consists of a point callend an endpoint and all points on the line that extend in one direction.

🗑
|
||||
| Supplementary Angles | Two angles whose measures have the sum of 180 degrees. The sume of the measures of an angle and its suppplement is 180 degrees.
🗑
|
||||
| Adjacent Angles | Two angles that share a common vertex & side, but have no common interior points.
🗑
|
||||
| Linear Pair | Two adjadent angles whose noncommon sides are opposite rays.
🗑
