    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.
