| Two lines that intersect to form right angles | Perpendicular Lines |
| A triangle that has at least two congruent sides. | Isosceles Triangle |
| A closed figure formed by the coplanar line segments that are joined at their endpoints. | Polygon |
| An infinite set of points extending in two directions | Line |
| Points that are contained on the same line | Collinear |
| A union of two rays that share a common endpoint. | Angle |
| Two coplanar angles that share a common vertex and a common side. | Adjacent Angles |
| The angle opposite the base. | Vertex |
| A position in space | Point |
