|---|---|
| acute angle | less than 90 degrees. |
| angle | two rathat are connected at the end point. the end point is called the vertex. |
| angle bisector | a ray that divides an angle into two congruent. |
| collinear points | points that lie on the same line. |
| congruent angles | angles that have the same measurement. |
| congruent segments | segements that have the same length. |
| conjecture | a conclusion reached by using inductive reasoning. |
| coordinate | is it 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 the makes the statement false. |
| inductive reasoning | a type of reasoning that reaches conclusions based on a pattern of specific examples or past events. |
| opposite rays | opposite ray 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 | they intersect to form right angles. |
| plane | thickness. it extends without end in all directions. |
| point | a point has no length. |
| postulate | a statement accepted to be true without proof. |
| ray | a ray is a part of a line that consist of a line that lie on one side of the initial point. |
