| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| acute angle | an angle smaller then 90 degrees |
| congruent angles | equal in measure |
| coplanar | points and lines in the same plane |
| midpoint | a point that divides a segment into two congruent segments. it bisects a segemnt. |
| perpendicular lines | intersect to form right angles |
| ray | a part of a line that consists of a initial point and all points on the line that lie on one side of the initial point. |
| space | is the boundless 3-dimensional set of all points |
| angle | two rays connected at their end points |
| congruent segments | two segments with the same length |
| counterexample | a single counter is enough to disprove a conjecture |
| obtuse angle | an angle larger then 90 degrees |
| plane | is a flat surface that has no thickness. it extends without end in all directions. you need at least 3 noncollinear points to name a plane. |
| right angle | an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees |
| angle bisector | cuts an angle into two congruent angles |
| conjecture | a conclusion reached through inductive reasoning |
| inductive reasoning | based on observed patterns |
| opposite rays | start at the same point and go in opposite directions |
| point | has no length, width, or thickness, but has a position |
| segment | a portion of a line between two points, called end points |
| collinear points | points that lie on the same line |
| coordinate | the distance and directions from the origin of a number line. |
| line | has no length, no width, or thickness. it extends without end in two directions. |
| parallel lines | coplanar lines that do not intersect |
| postulate | a statement to be true without proof |
| skew lines | noncoplanar lines that are not parallel and do not intersect |
