Term
Point 
Definition

A specific location in space with no size or shape. 

.

Term
Line
Definition
A never-ending straight path. [image]
Term
Segment
Definition

Part of a line containing two endpoints and all the points between them.

[image]

Term
Ray 
Definition

A part of a line that extends indefinitely in one direction from a fixed point. 

[image]

Term
Plane
Definition

A two-dimensional flat surface that extends in all directions.

[image]

Term
Opposite Rays
Definition

Two rays that are part of the same line and have only their endpoints in common. In the figure, [image] and [image] are opposite rays.

[image]

Term
Collinear
Definition

Three or more points that lie on the same line. In the figure, PQ, and R are collinear points.[image]


Term
Coplanar
Definition

Points or lines that lie in the same plane. In the plane M, points AB, and C are coplanar, and [image] and [image] are coplanar.

[image]

Term
Angle
Definition

A figure formed by two rays with a common endpoint. In the figure, [image]RST is formed by [image] and [image] with the common endpoint (or vertex) S.

[image]

Term
Midpoint
Definition

On a line segment, the point that is halfway between the endpoints.

[image]

Term
Bisector
Definition

A ray whose endpoint is the vertex of the angle and is located in the interior of the angle. It separates a given angle into two angles with equal measure. In the figure, [image] is the angle bisector of [image]P.

[image]

Term
Congruent
Definition

Having the same measure.

[image]

Term
Vertex
Definition

The common endpoint of the rays forming the angle.

[image]

Term
Acute Angles
Definition

An angle with a measure greater than 0° and less than 90°.

[image]

Term
Obtuse Angles
Definition

An angle that measures more than 90° but less than 180°.

[image]

Term
Right Angle
Definition

An angle that measures exactly 90°.

[image]

Term
Straight Angle
Definition

An angle that measures 180°.

[image]

Term
Complementary Angles
Definition

Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°. In the figure, [image]1 and [image]2 are complementary angles.

[image]

Term
Supplementary Angles
Definition

Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180°.

[image]

Term
Vertical Angles
Definition

Opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines. In the figure, thevertical angles are [image]1 and [image]3, and [image]2 and [image]4.

[image]

Term
Adjacent Angles
Definition

Angles that have the same vertex, share a common side, and do not overlap. In the figure, [image]1 and [image]2 are adjacent angles.

[image]

Term
Linear Pair
Definition

Lines which meet to form right angles and whose slopes have a product of -1.

[image]

Term
Polygon
Definition

A simple closed figure in a plane formed by three or more line segments.

[image]

Term
Concave/ Convex 
Definition

A polygon for which a point on at least one of its diagonals lies outside the polygon. In the figure, diagonal [image] lies outside polygon JKLMN. / A polygon for which all diagonals are located in the interior of the polygon.

[image]

Term
Regular/ Irregular
Definition

A polygon that has all sides congruent and all angles congruent. / A figure that cannot be classified as a single polygon.

[image]

Term
Diagonal 
Definition

A segment joining two nonconsecutive vertices of a polygon. In the figure, [image] is a diagonal.

[image]

Term
Side
Definition

The segments that form a closed figure. 

[image]

Term
Perimeter
Definition

The distance around a closed geometric figure.
