HGEO -- Chapter 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| point | no dimension, represented by a dot |
| line | one dimension never ends can't measure infinite points |
| plane | two dimensions never ending infinite points infinite lines |
| segment | has 2 endpoints infinite points between point A and B |
| opposite rays | two rays with a common end point that create a line points are collinear |
| intersection | when two of more geometric figures share one or more point |
| postulate(axiom) | rules that we accept as the truth without proof |
| ruler postulate | on any line, every point has a 1:1 correlation with a real number |
| segment addition postulate | you can measure the segments to get the whole line |
| congruence | two segments that have the same measure |
| midpoint | a point on a segment that divides it into two |
| segment bisector | a point, a line, a ray, a line segment, or a plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint |
| congruent figures | figures that are equal in measure |
| angle | formed by two different rays with the same endpoint |
| sides of an angle | the rays are referred to as this |
| vertex | the endpoint of the rays |
| angle bisector | a ray that divides an angle into two different angles that are congruent |
