endpoints   points at the end of a segment or start of a ray  
🗑
ray   goes on forever in 1 direction  
🗑
opposite rays   2 rays that share the same endpoint and go in opposite directions  
🗑
intersection   the place where 2 things meet  
🗑
postulate/axium   a rule that is accepted without proof  
🗑
theorem   a rule that can be proved  
🗑
midpoint   a point in the middle of a segment  
🗑
segment bisector   a line/ray that divides a segment into 2 congruent parts  
🗑
angle   2 rays with a common endpoint  
🗑
vertex   a common endpoint in an angle  
🗑
acute angle   an angle that measures less than 90 degrees  
🗑
right angle   an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees  
🗑
obtuse angle   an angle that measures between 90 and 180 degrees  
🗑
straight angle   an angle that measures exactly 180 degrees  
🗑
angle bisector   a ray that divides an angle into 2 congruent angles  
🗑
complementary angles   2 angles that add to 90 degrees  
🗑
supplementary angles   2 angles that add to 180 degrees  
🗑
adjacent angles   2 angles that share a common side  
🗑
linear pair   2 adjacent angles that add to 180 degrees  
🗑
vertical angles   angles opposite from each other that are congruent  
🗑
polygon   a closed plane figure with 3 or more side and separate vertices  
🗑
convex   does not cave in  
🗑
concave   caves in  
🗑
equilateral polygon   a polygon with a congruent sides  
🗑
equilangular polygon   a polygon with all interior angles congruent  
🗑
regular polygon   both equilateral and equilangular  
🗑
conjecture   something unproven based on observations  
🗑
inductive reasoning   conjectures based on patterns and observations  
🗑
counter example   proves a conjecture wrong  
🗑
conditional statement   an if, then statement  
🗑
hypothesis   the "if" part of a conditional statement  
🗑
conclusion   the "then" part of a conditional statement  
🗑
negation   the opposite of the original statement  
🗑
inverse   if not p then not q  
🗑
deductive reasoning   conjectures based on facts, definitions, properties, and laws of logic  
🗑
law of sylogism   if p, then q. If q, then r. If p, then r.

🗑
perpendicular   2 lines that cross at 90 degree angle  
🗑
transversal   a line that intersects 2 or more lines at different points  
🗑
consecutive interior   inside the 2 lines on the same side  
🗑
converse   switches the hypothesis and conclusion: if q then p  
🗑
biconditional   uses the phrase "if and only if"  
🗑
contrapositive   if not q then not p  
🗑
law of detachment   gives you a true statement and an additional statement to form a conclusion  
🗑

🗑
corresponding   angles in the same position on different lines. The angles are congruent.  
🗑
alternate interior   inside the 2 lines on opposite sides  
🗑
alternate exterior   outside the 2 lines on opposite sides  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
