Chapters 1-2 Flashcards
A location, it has neither shape nor size
Point
Terms explained only by using examples and descriptions
Undefined terms
Made up of points and has no thickness or width
Line
A flat surface made up of points that extend infinitely in all directions
Plane
Points that lie on the same line
Collinear
Points that do not lie on the same line
Noncollinear
Point that lie in the same plane
Coplanar
Points that do not lie in the same plane
Noncoplanar
The set of all points two or more geometric figures have on common
Intersection
Terms explained by using undefined terms and/ or other defined terms
Definitions or defined terms
Defined as a boundless 3D set of all points
Space
can be measured because it has two endpoints
line segment
for any two real numbers a and b there is a real number n that is between a and b such that a<b
-this also applies to points on a line
betweenness of points
segments that have the same measure
congruent segments
methods of creating geometric figures without using geometric tools
constructios
the length between two points on a segment with the points on as the endpoints
distance
a number that can not be expressed as a terminating or repeating decimal
irrational number
the halfway point between the segment and its endpoints
midpoint
any line, segment, or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint
segment bisector
part of a line, has one endpoint and extends indefinitely in one direction
ray
if you choose a point on a line, that point determines exactly two of these
- since both of these share a common endpoint, they are collinear
opposite rays
formed by two noncollinear rays that have a common endpoint
angle
rays are called this in an angle
sides
common endpoint in an angle
