Definition
an angle that is less than 90°
Term
right angle
Definition
an angle that is 90° exactly
Term
obtuse angle
Definition
an angle that is greater than 90° but less than 180°
Term
straight angle
Definition
an angle that is 180° exactly
Term
supplementary angles
Definition
angles that add up to 180 degrees
Term
complementary angles
Definition
anglea that add up to 90 degrees
Term
perpendicular
Definition
It just means at right angles (90°) to. The red line is perpendicular to the blue line:[image]
Term
congruent
Definition
same shape, same angle measures (exactly the same)
Term
adjacent angles
Definition
share a line (rooms 211 & 213 share a wall), 2 angles taht lie in the same plane, have a common vertex, a common side, but no common interior points[image]
Term
vertical angles
Definition
2 nonadjacent angles formed by intersecting lines (angles opposite each other)In the diagram below, angles 1 and 4 are vertical. So are angles 2 and 3.[image]
Term
linear pair
Definition
A pair of adjacent angles whose noncommon sides are opposite rays. Angles 1 and 2 below are a linear pair. So are angles 2 and 4, angles 3 and 4, and angles 1 and 3.[image]
Term
midpoint formula
Definition

Term
distance formula
Definition

Term
ray
Definition
part of a line, with one end point & extends indefinitely in one direction[image]
Term
opposite rays
Definition
choose a point on the line, that endpoint determines an opposite ray
Term
angle
Definition
2 noncolinear rays w/a common endpoint
sides- the 2 rays
vertex- where both rays meet
Term
interior and exterior of an angle
Definition

Term
degrees
Definition
