Midpoint Formula
x1 + x2 y1 + y2
_______ , _______
2 2
Midpoint definition
The point that divides the segment into two congruent segments
Distance formula
(Square root around everything)
(x2 - x1) 2 + (y1 - y2) 2
Line segment definition
Segment A.B. consist of the endpoints A and B and all points on the line A.B.
that lie between A and B.
Ray definition
The ray AB, consists of the initial point A and all points on line AB that lie on the same side of A as B lies.
Opposite rays definition
On the line A.B. if C is between A and B, then, CA and CB are opposite rays
Collinear definition
Points, segments or Rays that lie on the same line
Angle
Consists of two different rays that have the same initial point. The rays are the sides of the angle and the initial point is the vertex of the angle.
Acute angle definition
An acute angle is an angle with a measure greater than 0° and less than 90°.
Right angle definition
Right angle is an angle with a measure of 90°
Obtuse angle Definition
An obtuse angle is an angle with a measure greater than 90° and less than 180°.
Straight angle definition
Straight angle is an angle that measures 180°
Interior of an angle
Every non-straight angle has an interior. point D is in the interior angle A If it is between points that lie on each
side of the angle.
Exterior of an angle
I agree non-Straight angle has an exterior. Point D is the exterior of angle A if it is not on the angle or in the interior of the angle.
Adjacent Angles
Two angles are adjacent if they share a common vertex and side, but have no common interior points and lie on the same plane.
Adjacent angles definition (bullets)
- two angles
- share a common vertex
- share a common side
- have no common interior points
- lie on the same plane
Segment addition postulate
If B is between A and C then AB + BC = AC
Angle addition postulate
If C is in the interior of angle AOD, then m
Congruent segments
Two segments are congruent if they have the same length
Congruent angles
Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure
