Undefined Terms

Terms that are only explained using

examples and descriptions

Point

A location (coordinates); represented

by a dot; named by a capital letter

Line

Made up of points and has no thickness

or width; extends infinitely in opposite
directions; named by lower case script
letter or by two points

Plane

Flat surface made up of points that

has no depth and extends indefinitely
in all directions; named by capital script
letter, or, by three non-collinear points

Collinear

Points that lie on the same line

Coplanar

Points that lie in the same plane

Intersection

A set of points common to two or more

geometric figures

Example

Learning Target #2: I can calculate with measures

Vocabulary
Term

Line Segment

Definition

Example

A measurable part of a line that

consists of two points, called
endpoints, and all of the points
between them

Between

For any two points A and B on a line,

there is another point C between A and
B if and only if A, B, and C are collinear
and AC + CB = AB

Congruent
Segments

Segments that have the same measure

Examples

Find m

C
B
A

Find the value of n and YZ if Y is between X

and Z
XY = 11, YZ = 4n, XZ = 83

Lesson 1-4
Distance and Midpoint

Learning Target #1: I can find the distance between two points
Learning Target #2: I can find the midpoint of a segment

Vocabulary
Term

Definition

Example

Distance

The length of the segment between

two points

Midpoint

The point on a segment exactly halfway

between the endpoints of the segment

Segment Bisector

A segment, line, or plane that intersects

a segment at its midpoint

Formulas
Distance Formula

Examples
Find the distance between the points V(5, 7) and
U(2, 3).

Midpoint Formula (Plane)

Find the coordinates of the midpoint (M) of a

segment with endpoints J(5, -3) and K(3, -8).

Vocabulary
Term

Definition

Ray

Part of a line
-one endpoint and extends indefinitely
in one direction

Angle

Sides of an angle

The intersection of two noncollinear

rays at a common endpoint

The rays of an angle

Vertex of an angle The common endpoint of an angle

Degree

A unit of measure used in measuring

angles and arcs

Right Angle

An angle with a degree measure of 90

Acute Angle

An angle with a degree measure less

than 90

Example

Obtuse Angle

An angle with a degree measure

greater than 90 and less than 180

Angle Bisector

congruent angles

Examples

have a common vertex and a common
side, but no common interior points

Linear Pair

two intersecting lines

Complementary
