Question | Answer |
---|---|
acute angles | less than 90 degrees |
point | has no length width or thickness but has a position has location |
space | is the boundless 3-dimensional set of all points. |
Line | has a length, but no width or thickness. it extends without end in two directions |
Coplanar | points and lines in the same plane |
intersecting Lines | lines share a point |
intersecting planes | sahre an indefinite number of points when tow palnes intersect, the intersection is a line |
Postulate | A statement accepted to be true without proof |
postulate 1-1 | through any two points there is exactly one line |
postulate 1-2 | If two line intersect then they intersect in excatly one point. |
Postulate 1-3 | If two planes then they intersect in exactly one line |
postulate 1-4 | through any three noncollinear points there is excatly one plane. |
Line segment | is a portion or a line between two points, called endpoints |
Ray | is a part of a line that consits of an inital point and all points on the line that lie on ine side of the inital point |
opposite rays | start at the same point and go in opposite directions |
Parallel Lines | are coplanar lines that do not intersect |
Skew Lines | are noncoplanar lines therefore they are not parallel and do not intersect |
Perpendicular Lines | Lines intersect to form right angles. |
Parallel planes | are planes that do not intersect |
Ruler postulate | The distance between any two points on a number line is the absolute value of the difference of the corresponding numbers. |
Congruent Segments | Two segments with the same length. |
Midpoint of a Segment | a point that divides a segment into two congruent segments. It bisects the segment |
Bisector of a segment | any line, ray or other segment through a midpoint |
angle | two rays that are concted at their endpoints |
Protractor | Device used to measure angles |
Obtuse Angle | more than 90 degrees |
Right angle | Excaty 90 degrees |
Congruent angles | With the same measures |
Angle Bisector | ray that divides an angle into two congruent (=)angles |
conjecture | is a conclusion reached by using inductive reasoning |
Inductive reasoning | is a type reasonings that reaches conclusions based on a pattern of specific examples or past events |
counterExample | is an example that proves a conjecture is false |
