Lines and Angles
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Line | Connected points that go forever in 2 directions |
| Angle | 2 rays or 2 line segments with a shared vertex |
| Parallel | 2 lines that are in the same plane that never intersect. |
| Vertical | The angles opposite of each other when 2 lines intersect. They share a vertex and are congruent. |
| Line Segment | Connected points that have a distinct beginning and ending point |
| Acute | An angle that is between 0 and 90 degrees; not including 90 degrees |
| Intersecting | 2 lines that cross at single point |
| Complementary | 2 angles whose sum of measure equals 90 degrees |
| Ray | Connected points that have a distinct beginning point and continue forever in one direction |
| Obtuse | An angle that measures between but does not include 90 and 180 degrees |
| Perpendicular | 2 lines that cross at a single point forming 90 degree angles |
| Transversal | The line that crosses parallel lines forming 8 angles |
| Right | An angle that measures exactly 90 degrees |
| Corresponding | Angles that are on the same side of a transversal and in the same location on different parallel lines; they are congruent |
| Alternate Interior | Angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal but inside the parallel lines; they are congruent |
| Straight | An angle that measures exactly 180 degrees |
| Vertex | A distinct point where lines intersect or angles originate |
| Supplementary | 2 angles whose sum or measure equals 180 degrees |
| Alternate Exterior | Angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside of the parallel lines; they are congruent |
| Line Relationship | The way 2 lines perform together, such as parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting |
| Angle Relationship | The way 2 angles perform together, such as vertical, adjacent, supplementary, etc. |
| Adjacent | 2 angles that are side by side, share a vertex, and share one side |
