Geometry A Cheat Sheet

Unit 2: Geometry Basics


This is your sample work assignment that will be submitted in the
Geometry Basics Apply Lesson #7 of this unit.
As you work through your lessons, fill in this graphic organizer.
(For this unit we filled some in to give you an idea of what were
are looking for, but in future units you will need to complete fully)

We want you to complete this with pencil and paper for the most
benefit to you!
1. Print this graphic organizer and then fill in with pencil
Or
2. Complete the graphic organizer in your notebook (make your
own columns)

● Create your own drawings and examples with labels


● Rephrase the definitions in your own words so that it make
sense to you
● Make this a tool that you understand. You WILL be allowed
to use this when completing quick checks, quizzes and tests.

If you insist on completing digitally


● Do not copy and paste images and definitions into the
document. You need to create your own
examples/diagrams
● You will need to find a way to print this so that you have a
paper copy for when we do ask you to use exam.net.
Lesson 2: Points, Lines, and Planes

angle The figure


formed when
two rays meet
at a common
point

arc Part of the


circumference of
a circle

circle A closed plane

equidistant
from a fixed
point within the
curve

infinitely in two
opposite
directions

Line segment The finite


section of a
line between
two points on
that line
Two lines That are
Parallel line In the same plane
And never intersect

Perpendicular Two lines whose


line Intersection

concept and equal sides. assigns meaning.
describes what
it is

Euclidean The geometry


geometry based on
Euclid’s
axioms

postulate a statement
that is accepted
as true and has
not been
proved

Theorem A statement
that has been
proved to be
true using
arguments and
facts that are
accepted as
true

Undefined Concepts that


notions are the
building clocks
of geometry!
Undefined A term that
term does not need
to be defined
because it is
explained
using

descriptions,
such as a
point, line,
plane, and
space

along or
drawing
straight lines

bisector Splitting a figure
