Term
Definition
point   A location in space that is represented by a dot and has no dimension.  
🗑
line   One-dimensional geometric figure that extends in two opposite directions without end.  
🗑
plane   A flat surface made up of points, that has two dimensions and extends without end; is represented by a shape that looks like a floor or wall.  
🗑
collinear points   Points that lie on the same line.  
🗑
coplanar points   Points that lie in the same plane.  
🗑
line segment   Consists of two endpoints and all points between them.  
🗑
endpoints   Points that represent the ends of a line segment or ray.  
🗑
ray   A geometric figure that consists of the endpoint A and all points on line AB that lie on the same side of point as point B.  
🗑
opposite rays   If point C lies on line AB between A and B, then ray CA and ray CB are opposite.  
🗑
intersection   The set of points that two or more geometric figures have in common.

🗑
distance   The absolute value of the difference of two coordinates on a line.  
🗑
construction   A geometric drawing that uses a limited set of tools, usually a compass and a straightedge.  
🗑
congruent segments   Line segments that have the same length.  
🗑
midpoint   The point that divides a segment into two congruent segments.  
🗑
segment bisector   A point, ray, line, line segment, or plane that intersects the segment at its midpoint.  
🗑
convex polygon   A polygon in which no line that contains a side of the polygon contains a point in the interior of the polygon.  
🗑
concave polygon   A polygon in which at least one line that contains a side of the polygon contains a point in the interior of the polygon.  
🗑
polygon   A closed plane figure formed by three or more line segments.  
🗑
side   Line segments that form polygons.  
🗑
vertex   Intersection of line segments that form geometric figures.  
🗑
angle   A set of points consisting of two different rays that have the same endpoint.  
🗑
sides of an angle   The rays of an angle.  
🗑
interior of an angle   The region that contains all the points between the sides of an angle.  
🗑
exterior of an angle   The region that contains all the points outside of an angle.  
🗑
measure of an angle   The absolute value of the difference between the real numbers matched with the two rays that form the angle on a protractor.  
🗑
acute angle   An angle that has a measure greater than 0 and less than 90.

🗑
complementary angles   Two angles whose measures have a sum of 90.  
🗑
supplementary angles   Two angles whose measures have a sum of 180.

🗑
converse   The statement formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement  
🗑

🗑
slope   rate of change between any two points on a line  
🗑
slope-intercept form   a linear equation written in the form y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept
