Front Back
An angle with a degree measure less than 90.
Acute
Two angles that lie in the same plane, but have a common vertext and a common side, but no common interior points.
Adjacent angles
The intersection of two noncollinear rays at a common endpoint.
Angle
A ray that divides an angle into two congruent angels.
Angle bisector
For any 2 points A and B on a line, there is another point C between A and B if and only A, B, and C are collinear and AC+CB=AB
Between
Points that lie on the same line.
Collinear
Two angles with measure that have a sum of 90
Complementary angles
A polygon for which there is a line contaning a side of the polygon that also contains a point in the interior of the polygon
Concave
Having the same measure
Congruent
A method of creating geometric figures without the benefit of measuring tools. Gernally, only a pencil, straightedge, and compass are used.
Construction
Points that lie on the same plane.
Coplanar
A unit of measure used in measuring angles and arcs.
Degree
A point is in the exterior of an angle if it is neither on the angle nor in the interior of the angle.
Exterior
A point is in the interior of an angle if it does not lie on the angle itself and it lies on a segment with endpoints that are on the sides of the angle.
Interior
A basic undefined term of geometry. it is made up of points and has no thickness or width. in a figure, it is shown with an arrowhead at each end.
Line
