| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Acute Angle | An angle whose measure is between 0 and 90. |
| Angle | Formed by two rays with the same endpoint. |
| Angle Bisector | A ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles. |
| Collinear Points | Points that lie on the same line. |
| Congruent Angles | A ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles. |
| Congruent Segments | Segments with the same length. |
| Conjecture | A conclusion reached though inductive reasoning. |
| Coordinate | A point on a line or plane. |
| Coplanar | Points and lines in the same plane. |
| Counter Example | Enough to disprove a conjecture. |
| Inductive Reasoning | Reasoning based on observed patterns. |
| Line | Has length but no width or thickness. It extends without end in TWO directions. |
| Midpoint | A point that divides a segment into two congruent segments. |
| Obtuse Angle | Angle more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. |
| Opposite Rays | Rays that start at the same point and go in opposite directions. |
| Parallel Lines | Are coplanar lines that do not intersect. |
| Perpendicular Lines | Lines that intersect to form a right angle. |
| Plane | A flat surface that has no thickness. It extends without end in all directions. |
| Point | Has no length, width, or thickness, but has a position or location. |
| Postulate | A statemnemt accepted to be true without proof. |
| Ray | Part of a line that consists of an initial point and all points on the line that lie on one side of the initional point. |
| Right Angle | 90 degree angle. |
| Segment | Part of a line consisting of two points. |
| Skew Lines | Are NONcoplanar lines. Therefore, they are not parallel and do not intersect. |
| Space | The boundless 3-dimensional set of all points. |
