Study Notes
Geometric Terms and Definitions
-
Betweenness of Points: Point B is between points A and C if A, B, and C are collinear, satisfying the equation (AB + BC = AC), where AB, BC, and AC represent the distances between the respective points.
-
Collinear Points: A collection of two or more points that lie on a single straight line.
-
Coplanar Points: A group of two or more points that all reside within the same geometric plane.
-
Space: Encompasses the complete set of all possible points in a geometric context.
-
Bisector of a Segment: Defines a line or segment that intersects another segment exactly at its midpoint, dividing it into two equal parts.
-
Length of a Segment: Refers to the measurable distance between the two endpoints of a segment.
-
Line Segment: Consists of two distinct endpoints and includes all points between these endpoints, forming a finite section of a line.
-
Midpoint of a Segment: The specific point on a segment that evenly splits the segment into two equal lengths.
-
Opposite Rays: Formed by ray BA and ray BC when points A, B, and C are collinear and point B lies between A and C; both rays share the endpoint B.
-
Ray: Defined as a set of points that starts at a specific point A and extends infinitely in the direction toward point B.
