GEOMETRY
BASIC GEOMETRIC FIGURES
line
a straight path that
goes infinitely in
opposite directions
line
segment
a part of a line that
has two endpoints
ray
a part of a line that
has one endpoint and
goes without end in
one direction
angle
formed by two rays
with the same
endpoint
BASIC GEOMETRIC FIGURES
Kinds of Angle
right angle
an angle that
measures 90° (ninety
degrees)
acute
an angleangle
that measures
less than 90° (ninety
degrees)
obtuse
angle
an angle that measures more
than 90° but less than 180°
straight angle
an angle that measures
exactly180°
BASIC GEOMETRIC FIGURES
PAIRS OF LINES
parallel
lines
lines that never meet
even if extended
infinitely in opposite
directions
intersecting
lines
lines that
intersect at a
common point
perpendicular
lines
lines that intersect
at right angles
