Geometry Ch. 1 Vocab Flashcards
A location
Point
Only explained using examples and descriptions
Undefined
Made up of points and has no thickness or width
Line
A flat surface made up of points that extends indefinitely in all directions
Plane
Points that lie on the same line
Collinear
Points that lie in the same plane
Coplanar
explained using undefined terms and/or other defined terms
Definitions or define terms
A boundless, three dimensional set of all point
Space
Can be measured because it has two end points
Line segment
For any two points A and B on a line, there is another point C between A and B if and only if A, B, and C are collinear and AC+ CB= AB
Between
Segments that have the same measure
Congruent segments
Methods Of creating these figures without the benefit of measuring tools
Constructions
The length of the segment between two points as it’s endpoints
Distance
A number that cannot be expressed as a terminating or repeating decimal
Irrational number
The point halfway between the endpoints of the segment
Midpoints
