Math lessons 1-4 Flashcards
(45 cards)
Geometry:
A statement that defines a mathematical object
Undefined Term:
A basic mathematical term that is not defined using other mathematical terms.
Point:
Names a location and has no size
Line:
A straight path that has no thickness and goes for ever.
Collinear:
Points that lie on the same line.
Non- collinear:
Points that do not lie on the same line
Plane:
A flat surface that has no thickness and extends forever
Coplanar line:
Lines that lie on the same plain.
Non-coplanar Lines:
A line that does not contain points of other lines
Intersection:
The point or set of points in which two points meet.
Line segment:
Part of a line consisting of two endpoints and all points between them
Congruence Statement:
Shows that two segments are congruent
Tick Marks:
Placed on diagrams, objects, and shapes to show that lengths are congruent.
Postulate:
A segment that is accepted as true without having to explain it.
What are the three properties of Congruence?
Reflexive
Symmetric
Transitive
Reflexive:
Line AB is congruent to line BA: It’s like a mirror (Reflexive is one line)
Symmetric:
If line AB is congruent to Line CD then line CD is congruent to line AB ( Symmetric has two different lines)
Transitive:
If Line AB is congurrent to line CD and line CD is congruent to AB then line AB is congruent to EF. (transitive has 3 lines)
Distance:
The measure of the segment containing two points.
Midpoint:
The point that divides the segments into two congruent parts. Literally the middle point in a line.
Ray:
A part of a line that starts at an endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction. –.—–>
Angle:
A figure formed by two points with a common endpoint. .<
Vertex:
The common endpoint of an angle,
Protractor:
A tool used to measure angles
