World

How is point is related to the real

world?

A Point is a dot on a specific location named by a capital letter.

A good example of a point in the real world would be a eyeball because

the pupil would be the point on the eye.

How does a line relate to the real

world ?

A line is straight and has no definite measure

A road would be an example of a line because it is straight and they do

end but it could go on and on for a while

How can a plane relate to the real

world?

A Plane is a flat surface

A table would be a real world example because it is a flat surface

How can a segment relate to the real

world?

A segment an actual measure, it is straight, and it is apart of a line

A crosswalk would be a good example because it goes from point A to

point B

How does a ray relate to the real

world?

A ray only has one stopping point from the beginning and has no definite
measure

A stop sign then a road would be a ray because at the stop sign you are
stopped then you keep going on the road

How does a obtuse angle relate to the

real world?

An acute angle is angle between 0 & 90 degrees

A piece of pie is littler than 90 degrees there for it is an acute angle

How does a right angle relate to the

real world ?

Right angles are 90 degrees

A picture frame would be a right angle

How do collinear points relate to the

real world?

Collinear points are points that line on the same line

A stoplight would be a real world example because the three lights are on
the same line

How do obtuse angles relate to the

real world?

An obtuse angles are angles between 90 & 120 degrees

The Chinese hand held fans represent a obtuse angle because they open
wider than 90 degrees

How can perpendicular lines relate to

the real world?

Perpendicular lines intersect to form four 90 degree angles

An intersection would be an example of these lines because they intersect

in the middle and make 4 equal sections

How does complementary angles

relate to the real world

Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees

Wings on an airplane would be an example of these angles

How do supplementary angles relate

to the real world?

These angles add up to 180 degrees

A example of these angles would be
this ballerina because her legs represent
the straight line, her arm to arm would
be angle then her arm to her foot would
be the 2nd angle. Which would equal to
180 degrees

How do Vertical Angles relate to

the real world?
Vertical Angles theorem says that they are
congruent. Each of the pairs of opposite angles
made by two intersecting lines.

How do Acute Angles relate to the

real world?
Definition of Acute Angles: is
an angle smaller than a
right angle (less than 90).

How do Obtuse angles relate to the

real world?
Definition : An angle that measures more than
90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

How do Equilateral Triangles Relate to

the real world?
Definition: A triangle with all three sides of
equal length. All the angles are 60

How do Isosceles Triangles relate to

the real world?

Definition: a triangle that has two sides of equal

length. Sometimes it is specified as having two
and only two sides of equal length, and
sometimes as having at least two sides of equal
length, the latter version thus including the
equilateral triangle as a special case.

How do Scalene Triangles relate to the

real world?

Definition: a triangle that has 3 unequal

sides

How do right triangles relate to the

real world?

is a triangle in which one angle is a right angle (that is,

a 90-degree angle).

How does a circle relate to the real

world?
Radius- is half of the circle
Diameter-the length of a circle
Secant-A line that intersects a curve or circle at two
points
Tangent- is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the
point of tangency, Tangent segments to a circle from
the same external point are congruent.
Chord-is the line segment joining two points on a curve
