| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| acute angle | less than 90 degrees. |
| angle | two rays that are connected at the end point. The end point is called the vertex. |
| angle bisector | ray that divides an angle into 2 congruent (=) angles. |
| collinear points | points that lie on the same line are collinear points. |
| congruent angles | angles that have the same measures. |
| congruent segments | two segments with the same length. |
| conjecture | a conclusion reached by using inductive reasoning. |
| coordinate | the distance and direction from the origin of a number line. |
| coplanar | points and lines in the same plane are coplanar. |
| counterexample | a particular example or instance of the statement that makes the statement false. |
| inductive reasoning | a type of reasoning that reaches conclusions based on a pattern of specific examples or past events. |
| line | a 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. it bisects the segment. |
| obtuse angle | more than 90 degrees. |
| opposite rays | opposite rays start at the same point and goes on in the same direction. |
| parallel lines | parallel lines are coplanar lines that do not intersect. |
| perpendicular lines | perpendicular lines that intersect to form right angles. |
| plane | a plane is a flat surface that has no thickness. it extends without end in all directions. |
| point | a point has no length, width, or thickness, but has a position. (location) |
| postulate | a statement accepted to be true without proof. |
| ray | a ray is a part of a line that consists of an initial point and all points on the line that lie on one side of the initial point. |
| right angle | exactly 90 degrees. |
| segment | a line segment is a portion of a line between two points called end points. |
| skew lines | skew lines are noncoplanar lines. therefore, they are not parallel and do not intersect. |
| space | space is the boundless three dimensional set of all points. |
