Q

What is a line?

A

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.

Part+Part=Whole

25
Q

What are parallel lines?

A

2 lines on the same plane that intersect.

26
Q

What are perpendicular lines?

A

A line that intersects another line segment at its midpoint forming a right angle.

27
Q

What is the incenter?

A

The point where 3 angle bisectors of a triangle intersect.

28
Q

What is the circumcenter?

A

The point where 3 perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect.

29
Q

What are the 5 building blocks of geometry postulates?

A
  1. Two lines intersect to form a point
  2. Two planes intersect to form a line
  3. Through any two points there is exactly one line
  4. Through any three non-collinear points there is exactly one plane
  5. If you take two points on a plane, then the line containing those points must be on the same plane.
