points
(dot) can make lines segs rays or angles from them
lines
(lines with arrows)made up of points that are straight
line segments
(line without arrows) segs that are made from points that’s are straight and have a definite beginning and end
ray
(line with one arrow) have one endpoint and one side that extends infinitely
angle
two rays
triangle
has three segs as its sides
union
when all parts are combined (u)
intersection
overlap or intersection of parts (upside down u)
acute angle
less than 90 more than 0
right angle
90
obtuse angle
less than 180 more than 90
straight angle
180
congruent
same measure or lenght
degree
(0)
minute
(‘)
second
(“)
converting degrees minutes and seconds into decimals
1 leave the degree alone
2 convert minutes into degrees; multiply by a fraction 1/60’
3 convert seconds into degrees; multiply by how many seconds are in a degree 1/3600’
4 add and use degree symbol
converting decimals into degrees minutes and seconds
1 leave the degrees alone
2 take your decimal or fraction and multiply by 60’/1
3 use degrees minutes and seconds and see notation
collinear
points that lie on the same line
noncollinear
points that do not lie on the same line
betweeness
to say a point is between two other points, all three points must be collinear
can assume
straight lines
straight angles
collinearity of points
betweeness of points
cannot assume
right angles
congruent segs
congruent angles
relative size of angels or segs
midpoint
if a pt is a midpoint then it divides the seg into 2 congruent segs
