Study Notes
Naming Angles
- Angles can be named using the vertex point when there are no other angles at the same vertex that may cause confusion.
- Another method to name an angle includes using three letters, with the vertex being the center letter and the other two letters representing points on each ray.
- A numeric label may also be used to name an angle if it is provided.
Bisect
- The term "bisect" refers to the process of dividing something into two equal parts.
Perpendicular
- Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles, creating a 90-degree angle between them.
Congruent
- Two geometric shapes are considered congruent if they are the same shape and size.
Degrees
- Degrees are the units used to measure the magnitude of an angle.
Parallel
- Parallel lines are defined as lines that never intersect or meet, regardless of their length.
Vertex
- The vertex is the point where two lines or rays meet, or it can refer to the peak or highest point of a geometric figure opposite its base.
Sides
- In the context of an angle, the sides are the rays that form the angle.
Interior
- The interior refers to the area found within a specified shape or figure.
Exterior
- The exterior indicates the area that lies outside of a defined shape or figure.
