Geometry-Chapter 1 Vocabulary
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A word that does not have a formal definition, but there is agreement about what the word means. | undefined term |
| Terms that can be described using known words. | defined terms |
| A figure that has no dimension, is usually represented by a dot. It is one of the undefined terms. | point |
| A figure that has two dimensions and is usually represented by a shape similar to a wall or floor, It is one of the undefined terms. | plane |
| A figure that has one dimension and is usually represented by a straight line with two arrowheads to indicate it extends without end in two directions. It is one of the undefined terms. | line |
| Points that lie on the same line. | colinear |
| Points that lie on the same plane. | coplanar |
| Part of a line that consists of two points called endpoints, and all points on the line that are between the endpoints. | line segment |
| A place where something ends or is complete. | endpoint |
| Part of a line that consists of a point called an endpoint and all points on the line that extend in one direction. | ray |
| Two rays that lie on the same line, share a common endpoint but extend in opposite directions. | opposite rays |
| The set of all points that two or more geometric figures have in common. | intersection |
| A rule that is accepted without proof. | postulate |
| The real number that corresponds to a point on a line. | coordinate |
| The absolute value of the difference of the coordinates of the points. | distance between two points |
| Line segments that have the same length. | congruent segments |
| The point that divides or bisects a segment into two congruent segments. | midpoint |
| A point, ray, line, line segment, or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint. | segment bisector |
| Consists of two different rays with the same endpoint | angle |
| The endpoint of an angle. | vertex |
| A ray that divides an angle into two angles that are congruent. | angle bisector |
| Two angles that have the same measure. | congruent angles |
| An angle measuring between 0 and 90 degress. | acute angle |
| An angle measureing 90 degrees. | right angle |
| An angle measuring between 90 and 180 degrees. | obtuse angle |
| An angle measuring 180 degrees. | straight angle |
| Two angles whose measures have the sum of 90 degrees. | complementary angles |
| Two angles whose measures have the sume of 180 degrees. | supplementary angles |
| Two angles that share a common vertex and side, but have no common interior points. | adjacent angles |
| Two adjacent angles whose noncommon sides are opposite rays. | linear pair |
| Two angles whose sides form two pairs of opposite rays. | vertical angles |
| A closed plane figure with the following properties: 1. It is formed by three or more line segments called sides. 2. Each side intersects exactly two sides, one at each endpoint, so that no two sides with a common endpoint are collinear. | polygon |
| A polygon such that no line containing a side of the polygon contains a point in the interior of the polygon. | convex |
| A polygon that is not convex. | concave |
| A polygon with "n" number of sides. | n-gon |
| A polygon with all of its sides congruent. | equilateral polygon |
| A polygon with all of its interior angles congruent. | equiangular polygon |
| A polygon that has all sides and all angles congruent. | regular polygon |
| The distance around the outside edge of a flat object. | perimeter |
| The amount of surface covered by a figure. | area |
| The distance across a circle through its center. | diameter |
| The distance from the center of a circle to any point on the circle. | radius |
| The distance around a circle. | circumference |
| The set of all points. | space |
| A segments whose endpoints are two non-consecutive vertices. | diagonal |
