Term
intersection
Definition
the point or points that two figures have in common
Term
segment
Definition
portion of a line; definite beginning and ending; modeled with a line and a point on each end labeled with capitals
Term
ray
Definition
a portion of a line; definite beginning and infinite in one direction;endpoint is named first then the point it passes through second
Term
length
Definition
distance between points; always positive; subtract coordinates if on a number line; take absolute value of that difference
Term
postulates
Definition
basic assumptions; statements accepted without proof
Term
ruler postulate
Definition
two points on a line can be paired with real numbers;any two points could be named 0 and 1 ; use absolute value to get distance
Term
segment addition postulate
Definition
if b is between a and c then ab+bc=ac
Term
congruent
Definition
same size same shape
Term
midpoint
Definition
the point that bisects the segment into two congruent segments
Term
bisector of a segment
Definition
a line, segment, ray, or plane that intersects the segment at its midpoint
Term
angle
Definition
formed by two raysthat share an end point; named by three points with vertex in the middle; measured in degrees
Term
sides
Definition
2 rays that make up an angle
Term
acute
Definition
less than 90 degrees
Term
right
Definition
90 degrees
Term
obtuse
Definition
larger than 90 degrees but smaller than 180 degrees
Term
straight
Definition
180 degrees exactly
Term
protractor postulate
Definition
on AB in a given plane, choose any point o between a and b. consider oa and ob and all the rays that can be drawn from o on one side of ab.these rays can be paired with real numbers from o to 180
Term
angle addition postulate
Definition
if point b lies in the interior of
Term
adjacent angles
Definition
two ang;es that share a common vertex and side but no common interior points
Term
bisector of an angle
Definition
a ray that divides an angle into two congruent adjacent angles
Term
things you can assume
Definition
location and position
Term
things you can't assume
Definition
size unless marked
Term
postulate 5
Definition
a line contains at least two points; a plane contains at least three points not all in one line
Term
postulate 6
Definition
through any two points there is exactly one line
Term
postulate 7
Definition
through any three points ther is one plane and through any three non collinear points there is exactly one plane
Term
postulate 8
Definition
if two points are in a plane then the line that contains the points will also be in the plane
Term
postulate 9
Definition
if two planes intersect then their intersection is a line
Term
theorums
Definition
important statements that have to be proved
Term
theorum 1-1
Definition
if two lines intersect, they intersect in exactly one point
Term
theorum 1-2
Definition
through a line and a point not in the line, there is a plane
Term
theorum 1-3
Definition
if two lines intersect, then one plane contains the lines
Term
"exactly" and "one and only one"
Definition
there exists a solution (at least one solution) and it is a unique solution(no more than one)
Term
two line in the same plane
Definition
must be parallel or intersecting
Term
a line and a plane
Definition
must be parallel or intersect in exactly one point or it contains the line
Term
two planes
Definition
must be parallel or intersecting in a line
