| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Ray | A part of a line that has one fixed end point and extends infinitely along the line from the end point. |
| Angle | A figure formed by two rays. |
| Vertex | A point where two or more lines come together. |
| Acute angle | An angle less than 90 degrees |
| Right angle | An angle equal to 90 degrees |
| Obtuse angle | An angle greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees |
| Straight angle | An angle that equals 180 degrees |
| Supplementary angle | Two angles that total 180 degrees. |
| Complementary angle | Two angles that total 90 degrees. |
| Adjacent angles | Two angles that share the same vertex, but do not have any other relationship. |
| Vertical angles | A pair of angles opposite intersection lines. Vertical angles are equal to each other. |
