Study Notes
Basic Geometric Terms
- Point: A location represented with no dimensions (length, width, depth).
- Line: An infinite length with no width or depth, straight and unbending.
- Plane: An infinitely flat surface defined by infinite length and width, with no depth.
Relationships in Geometry
- Congruence: Describes figures that are identical in size and shape.
- Midpoint: The point that equally divides a line segment into two equal lengths.
- Bisector: A line, ray, or segment that intersects a segment at its midpoint.
Points and Lines
- Collinear Points: At least two points that lie on the same straight line.
- Segments: Portions of a line determined by two endpoints, measurable in length.
- Ray: A part of a line that starts at a point and extends infinitely in one direction.
Angles and Their Properties
- Angle: Formed by the intersection of two rays.
- Adjacent Angles: Angles that share a vertex and a side but do not overlap.
- Angle Bisector: A ray that divides an angle into two equal angles.
Lines in Relation to Each Other
- Space: The complete set of points, extending infinitely in all dimensions (length, width, depth).
- Coplanar Lines: Lines that reside within the same plane.
- Intersecting Lines: Lines that meet at precisely one point.
- Parallel Lines: Lines that remain equidistant from each other with no intersection points.
Special Angle Relationships
- Vertical Angles: Nonadjacent angles created by two intersecting lines.
- Perpendicular Lines: Lines that cross to form a right (90-degree) angle.
- Perpendicular Bisector: A line that intersects a segment at its midpoint and is perpendicular to that segment.
Transversals
- Transversal: A line that crosses two or more lines in a plane, causing a variety of angle relationships.
