A point can be described as a location in space. Represented by a dot and is named by writing a capital letter next to the dot.
POINT
LINE
A line is a straight row of points that goes on forever in both directions. A line is drawn by using arrow heads at both ends.
A line segment is a piece of a line that has two endpoints. A line segment is named for its endpoints. The segment with endpoints A and B shown to the right is named:
LINE SEGMENT
A ray is a part of a line that has only one endpoint and goes on forever in one direction. A ray is named by using the endpoint and some other point on the ray:
RAY
Lines that are on the same plane, but that never intersect (cross).
PARALLEL LINES
Lines that intersect (cross).

Types of Angles
•
Classification–
Acute angle: all angles are less than 90°
–
Obtuse angle: one angle is greater than 90°–
Right angle: has one angle equal to 90°
•
Complementary angle: the sum of two angles is 90°•
Supplementary angle: the sum of two angles is 180°
•
Adjacent angle: angles that share a side
An angle is made up of two rays that start at a common endpoint. The common endpoint is called the vertex. Named:
ANGLE
Angles can be measured in degrees. The symbol for degrees is a small raised circle °
DEGREES
An angle of 180°
is called a straight angle. When two rays go in opposite directions and form a straight line, then the rays form a straight angle
STRAIGHT ANGLE
An angle of 90°
is called a right angle. The rays of a right angle form one corner of a square. So, to show that an angle is a right angle, we draw a small square at the vertex.
RIGHT ANGLE
Acute angles measure less than 90°
ACUTE ANGLE
An Obtuse angle measures more than 90°
but less
than 180°
OBTUSE ANGLE
Two lines are called perpendicular lines if they intersect to form a right angle.
PERPENDICULAR LINES
Two angles are called complementary angles if the sum of their measures is 90°. If two angles are complementary , each angle is the complement of the other.
COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES
Two angles are called supplementary angles if the sum of their measures is 180°
SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES
Triangles
•
The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°•
a –
b < third side < a + b
•
The sum of the two remote interior angles is equal to the exterior angles
•
Types:
Two sides are equal One
Right

Properties of Parallelograms
Diagonals are perpendicular to each other
Diagonals bisect their angles
Diagonals are perpendicular to each other Diagonals bisect their angles
Diagonals are congruent to each other
Diagonals bisect each otherOpposite sides are congruentOpposite angles are congruentDiagonals bisect each otherConsecutive angles are supplementaryDiagonals form two congruent triangles
