| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Point | A dot labeled with one capital letter |
| Segment | Has two points as endpoints, labeled with two capital letters with a bar above |
| Line | A straight path that goes on forever in both directions, labeled with two capital letters with a line with arrows above or the word line with a lower letter |
| Collinear | Three or more points on the same line |
| Non-collinear | Three points not on the same line |
| Bisect | The action of dividing a segment into two congruent parts. You can bisect an angle and make two congruent angles or you can bisect a segment and make two congruent segments. |
| Midpoint | A midpoint is a point in the middle of a segment. It divides the segment into two congruent parts. |
| Between | A point that is between, not necessarily in the middle, between two endpoints. |
| Ray | A segment that extends forever in one direction. It is labeled with two capital letters and an arrow above. |
| Plane | A 2D shape that is closed and consists of at least 3 non-collinear points. The most common example is a four sided shape. |
| Coplanar | Two or more points that are on the same plane. |
| Non-Coplanar | Two points or two lines that are not on the same plane. |
| Complementary | Two angles that add to 90 degrees. |
| Supplementary | Two angles that add to 180 degrees |
| Linear Pair | Two adjacent angles that add to 180 degrees |
| Adjacent Angles | Two angles that share a ray- a vertex and side |
| Vertical Angles | Two angles that are NOT adjacent- they are across from each other and only share a vertex |
| Straight Angle | An angle that equals 180 degrees |
