2.1 Exploring Patterns Undefined terms : point, line and plane.The line segment/segment AB consists of the endpoints A and B and all points on line AB that lie between A and B. Line segment AB or BA
The ray AB consists of the initial point A and all points on the line AB that lie on the same side of A as B lies. If C is between A and B, then CA and CB are opposite rays. RayAB
Opposite rays CA and CB A C BPoints, segments, or rays that lie on the same line are collinear. In the line above, the following are collinear:A,B,C ; AC, CB, AB ; AC, CB, BC
The term betweenness in geometry implies collinearity. D A C B • C is between A and B. • D is not between A and B • The “length” of segment AB is written AB.
An angle consists of two different rays that have the same initial point. The rays are the sides of the angle. The angle that consists of the rays AB and AC is denoted by <BAC, <CAB, or <A. The point A is the vertex of the angle.
The measure of <A is denoted by m<A. Angles are classified as acute, right, obtuse, and straight. Right : m<A = 90o Acute : 0o < m<A < 90o Obtuse : 90o < m<A < 180o Straight: m<A = 180o
Every nonstraight angle has an interior and an exterior. A point K is in the interior of <B if it is between points that lie on each side of the angle.
Two angles are adjacent if they share a common vertex and side, but have no common interior points. Angle ABC is adjacent to angle CBD Because: they have a common side (line CB) they have a common vertex (point B)
