Term
Point
Definition

a location in space (no size)

*labeled using capital letters

Term
Line
Definition

made of points; extends in two directions without end.

*contains at least two points

*labeled using a single lowercase letter

Term
Equidistant
Definition
same distance
Term
Plane
Definition

an endless flat surface

*contains at least 3 noncollinear points

*sometimes labeled using one capital letter

*usually labeled using 3 or more points

Term
Space
Definition

the set of all points

*contains at least 4 noncoplanar points

Term
Collinear Points
Definition
points that lie on the same line
Term
Coplanar Points
Definition
points that all lie in one plane
Term
Intersect
Definition
to meet or cut
Term
Intersection of Two Figures
Definition
teh set of points that are in both figures
Term
Segment (of a line)
Definition
two points on a line and all points between them.  The two points are called the endpoints
Term

Ruler Postulate

 

1.  The points on a line can be paired with the real numbers in such a way that...

2.  Once a coordinate system has been chosen in this way,...

Definition

1.  ...any two points can have coordinates 0 and 1.

2.  ...the distance between any two points equals the absolute value of the difference of their coordinates.

Term

Segment Addition Postulate

 

If B is between A and C, then...

Definition
AB+BC=AC
Term
Congruent
Definition
two objects that have the same size and shape
Term
Congruent Segments
Definition
segments that have equal lengths
Term
Midpoint of a Segment
Definition
the point that divides teh segment into two congruent segments
Term
Bisector of a Segment
Definition
a line, segment, ray, or plane that intersects the segment at it's midpoint
Term
Angle
Definition
the figure formed by two rays that have the same endpoint
Term
Vertex
Definition
the commonn endpoint of two sides
Term

Angle Addition Postulate

 

If point B lies in the interior of <AOC, then...

 

and

 

If <AOC is a straight angle and B is any point not on AC, then...

Definition

...then m<AOC + m<BOC =m<AOC

 

and

 

then... m<AOB + m<BOC =180

 

 

Term
Congruent Angles
Definition
angles that have equal measures
Term
Adjacent Angles
Definition
two angles in a plane that have a common vertex and a common side, but no common interior points
Term
Bisector of an angle
Definition
teh ray that divides the angle into two congruent adjacent angles
Term
