Geometry Flashcards
point
precise location in the plane
line
straight path with no thickness that extends in both directions without end
right angle
angle formed by perpendicular lines, measuring 90°
vertex
a point, often used to refer to the point where two lines meet, such as in an angle or the
corner of a triangle
Parallel
two lines in a plane that do not intersect
perpendicular
Two lines are perpendicular if they intersect, and any of the angles formed between
the lines is a 90° angle,
Intersecting lines
lines that contain at least one point in common
Isosceles triangle

Length of an arc
circular distance around the arc
Obtuse angle
angle with a measure greater than 90°, but less than 180°
Acute angle
angle with a measure of less than 90°
Angle
union of two different rays sharing a common vertex,
Parallelogram
