Unit one Flashcards
A portion of a line consisting of an initial point and all the points lying to one side of that point is called a ________.
Ray
Two lines intersect in a _________________.
intersection
A/an ________________________ is a mathematical statement that is accepted without proof
Undefined term
If a ray divides an angle into two congruent angles, then the ray is called a/an _________________.
segment bisector
Two angles that have the same measure are called ____________________.
congruent angles
An angle whose measure is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees is called _____________.
obtuse angle
Two angles whose measures total 90 degrees are ________________________________.
complementary
When two lines intersect, they form two pairs of nonadjacent, opposite angles. These angles are called ___________________________________.
Vertical angles
Two angles whose measures total 180 degrees are _________________________________.
supplementary
If two angles share a vertex and a side but have no interior points in common, the angles are said to be ________________________.
adjacent angles
m∠CBD+m∠DBA=m∠CBA is the mathematical representation of the ________________________________ postulate.
Angle addition postulate
Adjacent angles are . . .
two angles that share a common vertex (a point where two lines meet) and a common side (a line segment that both angles touch), but they do not overlap.
Linear pair
a pair of adjacent, supplementary angles
Regular polygon
Has equal sides and equal interior angles
Irregular polygon
not all sides or interior angles are equal
