Geometry Chapter 1 Definitions

TermDefinition
Acute angle An angel with a degree measure less than 90 degrees.
Adjacent angles Two angles that lie in the same plane, have a common vertex and a common side, but no common interior points.
Angle bisector A ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles.
Between For any two points "A" and "B" on a line, there is another point "C" between "A" and "B" if and only if "A", "B", and "C" are collinear and AC + CB = AB
Collinear Points that lie on the same line
Complementary angles Two angles with measures that have a sum of 90 degrees.
Coplanar Points that lie in the same plane
Line A basic undefined term of geometry. A line is made up of points and has not thickness or width. In a figure, a line is shown with an arrowhead at each end. Lines are usually named by lowercase script letters.
Linear pair A pair of adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays.
Midpoint The point halfway between the endpoints of a segment.
Obtuse angle An angle with degree measure greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.
Lines, segments, or rays are perpendicular iff they intersect to form a right angle.
Plane A basic undefined term of geometry. A plane is a flat surface made up of points that has no depth and extend indefinitely in all directions. A plane is represented by a shaded, slanted 4-sided figure.
Precision The precision of a measurement depends on the smallest unit available on the measuring tool.
Ray A ray is a part of a line. It has one endpoint and extends indefinitely in one direction. Rays are named stating the endpoint first and then any other point on the ray.
Regular Polygon A convex polygon in which all of the sides are congruent and all the angles are congruent.
Right angle An angle with a degree measure of 90.
Segment bisector A segment, line, or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint.
Supplementary angles Two angles with measures that have a sum of 180 degrees.
Vertex The common endpoint of two rays or more.
Vertical angles Two nonadjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
