| Plane | a mathematical line that has no width and continues forever in both directions. |
| coplanar | lines that lie in the same plane |
| skew lines | lines that are not in the same plane |
| Straight angle | an angle with a measure of 180 degrees |
| Right angle | an angle with a measure of 90 degrees |
| Acute angle | an angle with a measure between 0 and 90 |
| Obtuse angle | an angle with a measure between 90 and 180 |

| Volumes of Cylinders and Prisms | The volume of a cylinder or a prism is equal to the product of the area of a base and the perpendicular distance between the bases. |
| Lateral Surface Area of Right Cylinder and Right Prisms | The lateral surface area of a right cylinder or a right prism is the perimeter of a base multiplied by the height (where the height is defined to be the perpendicular distance between the bases). |
| Lateral surface area | the area of all surfaces except the bases |
| Volume of a cone or pyramid | The volume of any cone or pyramid equals one third the product of the area of the base and the height. |
| Triangle inequality postulate | The sum of the lengths of any two sides of any triangle is greater than the length of the third side. |
| Pythagorean inequalities | c2 > a2 + b2 and c2 < a2 + b2 |
