|---|---|
| acute angle | An angle that has a measure greater than 0° and less than 90° |
| adjacent angles | Two angles that share a common vertex and side, but have no common interior points |
| angle bisector | A ray that divides an angle into two angles that are congruent |
| angle | A set of points consisting of two different rays that have the same endpoint |
| complementary angles | Two angles whose measures have a sum of 90° |
| collinear points | Points that lie on the same line |
| congruent angles | Two angles that have the same measure |
| congruent segments | Line segments that have the same length |
| coplanar points | Points that lie in the same plane |
| endpoints | Points that represent the ends of a line segment or ray |
| line | has one dimension. It is represented by a line with two arrowheads, but it extends without end. |
| line segment | A part of a line that consists of two endpoints. |
| linear pair | Two adjacent angles that create a straight line. |

| opposite rays | Two rays that have the same endpoint and form a line |
| point | A location in space that is represented by a dot and has no dimension |
| right angle | An angle that has a measure of 90° |
| plane | A flat surface made up of points that has two dimensions and extends without end, and is represented by a shape that looks like a floor or a wall |
| ray | A part of a line that consists of an endpoint and all points on the line on one side of the endpoint |
| segment | A part of a line that consists of two endpoints |
| segment bisector | A point, ray, line, line segment, or plane that intersects the segment at its midpoint |
| supplementary angles | Two angles whose measures have a sum of 180° |
| vertex of an angle | The common endpoint of the two rays that form an angle |
| weighted average | The average of two points on a number line that are weighted unequally |
| straight angle | An angle that has a measure of 180° |
