    Study Notes

    Basic Geometry Terms

    • Point: A location defined with no dimensions—no shape or size.
    • Line: A straight path composed of an infinite number of points; has no thickness or width.
    • Plane: A two-dimensional flat surface made of points, extending infinitely in all directions.

    Relationships Between Points

    • Collinear: Describes points that are all located on the same straight line.
    • Coplanar: Refers to points that all lie within the same flat surface (plane).

    Line Segments and Distance

    • Line Segment: A measurable portion of a line consisting of two defined endpoints.
    • Distance Formula: A mathematical formula used to calculate the distance between two points on a coordinate plane.

    Segments and Midpoints

    • Congruent Segments: Segments that possess equal length.
    • Midpoint Formula: A method for determining the midpoint between two endpoints of a line segment.
    • Segment Bisector: Can be a segment, line, or plane that intersects a segment precisely at its midpoint.

    Rays and Angles

    • Ray: A part of a line that begins at a point and extends indefinitely in one direction.
    • Angle: Formed by the intersection of two rays that share a common endpoint, known as the vertex.
    • Vertex: The specific point where two rays or lines meet to form an angle.

    Types of Angles

    • Right Angle: An angle measuring exactly 90 degrees.
    • Acute Angle: An angle measuring less than 90 degrees.
    • Obtuse Angle: An angle measuring between 90 degrees and 180 degrees.
    • Congruent Angles: Angles that have the identical measurement.

    Angle Relationships

    • Adjacent Angles: Angles that share a common side and vertex.
    • Vertical Angles: Formed by two intersecting lines, located directly opposite each other.
    • Complementary Angles: Two angles whose measurements add up to 90 degrees.
    • Supplementary Angles: Two angles whose measurements sum to 180 degrees.
    • Linear Pair: A pair of adjacent angles that are supplementary.

    Special Angle Relationships

    • Perpendicular Lines: Lines that intersect forming four right angles (90 degrees).
    • Angle Bisector: A ray that divides an angle into two smaller angles of equal measure.
