Unit 1 Test Flashcards
What is a line?
A “moving point”. Travels in two opposite directions forever, it has one dimension, and is named by two points. It is infinitely small and has no width, it never bends or curves.
What is a point?
A singular location with no size, no dimension, and is infinitely small. It is named with capital letters.
What is a plane?
A 2 diminsional flat surface that spans outward in all directions forever. It is infinitely flat and named with 3 points.
What is a segment/line segment?
A “line” that starts at one point and ends at another. Or a part of a line formed between two points.
What is a ray?
A “line” that extends in one direction forever. Or a part of a line that has one endpoint.
What is an angle?
2 rays with a common endpoint.
What are collinear points?
2 or more points on the same line.
What are coplanar points?

What is inductive reasoning?
Reaching conclusions based on observations.
What is a sequence?
A list of numbers.
What is an arithmetic sequence?
A sequnce where you add or subtract the same number consecutive terms.
What is a geometric sequence?
A sequence where you multiply or divide by the same number in between terms.
What are congruent segments?

What is a midpoint?
