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. |
