Term Definition
points an angle or dot named by a capital letter
planes a flat surface that continues without end in all directions
line extends without end in opposite directions and can be named by a letter of letters
line segment part of a line that goes from one point to another and does not continue in both directions
ray a line that continues in one direction with a point at the other end
endpoint the point that is used to name a ray
congruence angles with the same measure or line segments with the same length
angles a shape formed by 2 rays and a vertex
vertex where 2 rays join to form an angle
acute angle an angle measuring less than 90 degrees
obtuse angle and angle measuring between 90 and 180 degrees
strait angles an angle measuring 180 degrees
reflex angle an angle that measures more than 180 degrees
right angle an angle that is 90 degrees
bisector a ray that divides 1 angle into 2 equal angles
adjacent angles angles that share a vertex and a common side
complementary angles angles that add up to 90 degrees
supplementary angles angles that add up to 180 degrees
vertical angles angles that are opposite each other and are formed by 2 intersecting lines. They are congruent.
perpendicular lines 2 lines that intersect to form 4 right angles
parallel lines lines that go on forever and will never intersect
transversal a line that goes through 2 or more lines at different points
interior angles angles that are formed when a line is cut by 2 transversals (that are not parallel). They are the 4 angles on the inside of the 2 transversals. when they are on the same side are supplementary.
exterior angles angles that are formed when a line is cut by 2 transversals (that are not parallel). They are the 4 angles on the outside of each transversal
alternate interior angles interior angles in different sets of angles that are on opposite sides.
alternate exterior angles exterior angles in different sets of angles that are on opposite sides
corresponding angles are congruent and formed when a transversal intersects 2 parallel lines. They are opposite each other.
