| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is an unproven statement that is based on observations? | Conjecture |
| What is a process that involves looking for patterns and making conjectures? | Inductive reasoning |
| What is an example that shows a conjecture is false? | Counterexample |
| What has no dimension? | A point |
| What can extend in ONE dimension? | A line |
| What can extend in TWO dimensions? | a plane |
| What are points that lie on the same line? | Collinear points |
| What are points that lie on the same plane? | Coplanar points |
| All the points on a line between 2 points is called what? | segment |
| What are the points at the beginning and end of a line segment called? | endpoints |
| What has an initial point only? | ray |
| If point C is between point A and point B and ray CA and CB are what type of rays? | opposite |
| If 2 or more geometric figures have 1 or more points in common, then they do what? | intersect |
| What is a rule that is accenpted without proof? | Axiom or postulate |
| What is the real number that corresponds to a point? | Coordinate |
| How do you write the distance between point A and B? | AB |
| What is the absolute value of the difference between 2 coordinates called? | distance |
| What can AB also be represent? | length |
| WHat do you say when 3 points are on a line? | One of them is BETWEEN the other two. |
| What is Postulate 2 Segment addition Postulate? | If B is between A and C, then AB + BC = ACAB + BC = AC, then B is between A and C |
