    I. Undefined Terms in Geometry: Point, Line and Plane

    *Why undefined?- Their meanings are accepted without definition;

    - They are not defined by words but can be defined in a way that their meaning can be accepted at all

    A. Point simply represented by a dot and usually named using a capital letter (e.g.P for point P) dimensionless; has no length, width or thickness indicates place or position

    B. Line a set points that can extend indefinitely in both directions can be determined by at least two points can either be straight or curved lines

    denoted by AB or has one dimension

    Subsets of a line1. Line segment

    set of points consisting of two points on the line called endpoints and thepoints on the line between these endpoints

    denoted by AB

    2. Half-line Set of points on one side of the point of division

    3. Ray set of points consisting of one point on a line (endpoint) and all points on

    one side of the endpoint

    denoted by ; the first letter is always the endpoint of the ray

    C. Plane Set of points that form a flat surface extending indefinitely

    in all directions Can be named either by using a small letter (e.g. plane p),

    the letters representing the vertices (or corners) of a plane(e.g. plane ABCD) or by using three letters representingthree points in the plane that are not collinear (e.g planeJKL)

    Collinear points - points that do not lie on the same straight line

    Congruent segments - lines having the same measure

    Midpoint of a segment - a point on the segment that divides itinto 2 equal parts

    Bisector of a line segment - a line (or a part of a line) thatintersects a line segment at its midpoint

    Perpendicular lines - two lines that intersect to form right angleSymbol used to denote perpendicular lines:

    Adjacent angles - two angles in the same plane sharing thesame vertex and one common side but do not have any interiorpoint in common

    Complementary angles - two angles whose sum is 90

    Supplementary angles - two angles whose sum is 180

    Linear angle pair - pair of adjacent angles that aresupplementary of one another; their sum forms astraight angle

    VZW and XZY are vertical angles. VZX and WZY are vertical angles.

    Alternate exterior anglesexterior angles that are on opposite sides of the transversal and do not havea common vertex

    Corresponding anglesone exterior and one interior angle that are on the same side of the transversaland do not have a common vertex

    Properties of Parallel Lines Through a given point not on the given line, there exists one and only one line parallel to the

    given line and passes through the given point. If, in a plane, a line intersects one of two parallel lines, then it intersects the other line. Transversal forms congruent alternate interior angles. Transversal forms congruent corresponding angles. Transversal forms supplementary interior angles lie on the same side of the transversal If a transversal is perpendicular to one of the two parallel lines, then it is also perpendicular to

    the other. A third line in the same plane parallel to one of the two parallel lines is parallel to the other.

    Projection of a point on the linethe foot of the perpendicular line drawn from the point to the line

    Projection of a segment on the line when the segment is not perpendicular to the line, is thesegment whose endpoints are the projections of the endpoints of the given segment on the line

    1. The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangledivides it into two similar triangles that are alsosimilar to the original triangle.
