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.
postulate	A rule that is accepted without proof.
axiom	A rule that is accepted without proof.
coordinate	A real number that corresponds to a point on a line.
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.
right angle	An angle that has a measure of 90.
obtuse angle	An angle that has a measure greater than 90 and less than 180.
straight angle	An angle that has a measure of 180.
congruent angles	Two angles that have the same measure.
angle bisector	A ray that divides an angle into angles that are congruent.
protractor	A tool that helps you approximate the measure of an angle.
degrees	A unit of measurement of angles.
complementary angles	Two angles whose measures have a sum of 90.
supplementary angles	Two angles whose measures have a sum of 180.
adjacent angles	Two angles that share a common vertex and side, but have no common interior points.
linear pair	Two adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays.
vertical angles	Two angles whose sides form two pairs of opposite rays.
converse	The statement formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement
congruent	same size, same shape
distance from a point to a line	The length of the perpendicular segment from the point to the line
perpendicular bisector	A line that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint
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
y-intercept	the y-coordinate of a point where the graph crosses the y-axis
