Line

A straight path that extends infinitely in both directions.

Ray

A part of a line that starts at a point and extends infinitely in one direction.

Line Segment

A part of a line that has two endpoints and a definite length.

Parallel Lines

Lines in a plane that never intersect, no matter how far they are extended.

Perpendicular Lines

Lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees).

Transversal

A line that intersects two or more other lines at different points.

Vertical Angles

Pairs of angles that are opposite each other and formed by the intersection of two lines.

Adjacent Angles

Angles that share a common vertex and side, but do not overlap.

Complementary Angles

Two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.

Supplementary Angles

Two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.

Alternate Interior Angles

Pairs of angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines.

Alternate Exterior Angles

Pairs of angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the two lines.

Corresponding Angles

Pairs of angles that are in the same position relative to the transversal and the two lines.

Triangle

A polygon with three sides and three angles.

Quadrilateral

A polygon with four sides and four angles.

Polygon

A closed figure with three or more straight sides.

Circle

A round shape with all points equidistant from the center.

Angle Bisector

A line or ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles.

Angle Measurement

The size of an angle, usually measured in degrees.

Angle Addition Postulate

The sum of two adjacent angles is equal to the measure of the larger angle.

Angle Pairs

Pairs of angles that have specific relationships with each other.

Exterior Angles

Angles formed by a side of a polygon and an extension of an adjacent side.

Interior Angles

Angles formed by the sides of a polygon inside the shape.

Central Angles

An angle whose vertex is the center of a circle and whose sides are radii of the circle.

Inscribed Angles

An angle whose vertex is on the circle and whose sides are chords of the circle.

Arcs

A part of the circumference of a circle.

Chords

A line segment with both endpoints on the circle.

Secants

A line that intersects a circle at two points.

Tangents

A line that intersects a circle at exactly one point.

Arc Length

The distance along the arc of a circle.

Sector Area

The region bounded by two radii of a circle and the arc between them.

Segment Area

The region bounded by a chord and the arc between its endpoints.

Cyclic Quadrilaterals

Quadrilaterals that can be inscribed in a circle.

Trapezoid

A quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides.

Rhombus

A quadrilateral with all sides of equal length.

Rectangle

A quadrilateral with four right angles.

Square

A quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles.

Parallelogram

A quadrilateral with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length.

Kite

A quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length.

Regular Polygon

A polygon with all sides and angles equal.

Angle Theorems

Various theorems and properties related to angles in geometry.
