Geometry 8.1
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Endpoints | 2 points on any line |
Ray | the subset of a line that contains a specific point (the endpoint) and all the points on the line that are on the same side of that point |
Intersect | wherever 2 lines meet or where 2 lines have a point in common |
Perpendicular | where 2 intersecting lines form right angles |
Concurrent | where 3 or more lines intersect at a single point |
Parallel | where 2 lines lie in the same plane and never intersect |
Complementary Angles | the sum of the measure of 2 angles equals 90 degrees |
Supplementary Angles | the sum of the measure of 2 angles equals 180 degrees |
Hand-Eye Coordination | One aspect of spatial thinking. The ability of the vision system to coordinate the information received through the eyes to control, guide, and direct the hands in the accomplishment of a given task. |
Figure-Ground Perception | The ability to identify a figure against a complex background. |
Perceptual Constancy | The ability to recognize figures and objects when they are not in their familiar orientation. |
Visual Discrimination | The ability to find similarities and differences between or among objects. |
Visual Memory | Deals with the person's ability to describe or draw accurately, an object that is no longer in view. |
Point | Geometrically, has no dimension (length or width), but it does have a location. |
Right Angle | An angle whose measurement is 90 degrees. |
Acute Angle | An angle whose measure is less than 90 degrees. |
Obtuse Angle | An angle whose measure is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. |
Line | straight and extends infinitely in two directions |
Plane | A flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions. |
Collinear Points | Points that lie on the same line. Any two points are collinear. |
Noncollinear Points | three (or more) points that do not lie on a single line |
Coplanar Points | two or more points that lie on a single line |
Line Segment | A subset of a line that contains two points of the line and all points in between those points. |
Straight | An angle whose measure is 180 degrees. |
Reflex | An angle whose measure is greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees. |
Skew | Two lines that do not intersect because they do not lie in the same plane. |
Angle | The union of two rays that have a common endpoint |
Vertex | The common endpoint of two rays. |
Side | Each of the rays of the angle |
Interior | The angle formed inside of a shape |
Exterior | |
Vertical angles | When two lines intersect, four angles are formed. The angle that are opposite of each other are vertical angles. |
