Term
bisector of a line
Definition
a bisector intersects at the midpoint of a line, segment, or ray and splits it into two congruent parts
Term
angle bisector
Definition
a ray that divides an angle into two congruent, coplanar angles
Term
adjacent angles
Definition
coplanar angles with a common vertex and side, but no common interior points
Term
vertical angles
Definition
non adjacent angles formed by intersecting lines (always congruent)
Term
linear pair
Definition
two adjacent angles whose sides form a straight angle/line
