Math Vocab Flashcards
Acute
An angle that has a measure more than 0 and less than 90 degrees
Adjacent angles
Two angles that share a common vertex and side , but have no common interior points
Angle
A set of points consisting of two different rays that have the same endpoint
Angle bisector
A ray that divides an angle into 2 angles that are congruent
Axiom
A rule that is accepted without proof
Between
When three points are collinear, one point is between the other 2
Collinear points
Points that lie on the same line
Complementary angles
Two angles who’s measures have a sum of 90
Congruent angles
2 angles that those the same measure
Congruent segments
Line segments that have the same length
Construction
A geometric drawing that uses a limited set of tools, usually a compass and straightedge
Coordinate
A real number that corresponds to a point on a line
Coplanar points
Points that lie on the same line
Defined terms
Terms that can be described using known words , such as point or line
Distance
The absolute value of the difference of two coordinates on a line
Endpoints
Points that represent the ends of a line segment or ray
Exterior of an angle
The region that contains all the points outside of an angle
Interior of am angle
The region that contains all the points between the sides on an angle
Intersection
The set of points two or more geometric figures have in common
Line
Has one demension
Line segment
Consists of 2 endpoints and all the points between them
Linear pair
To adjacent sent angles whose noncommon sides are opposite rays
Measure of an angle
The absolute value of the difference between the real numbers match with the two raise the for the angle on he protractor
Midpoint
The point that divides a segment into 2 congruent segments
