\(\measuredangle IRQ, \, \measuredangle KUQ\) are corresponding angles. They share the same degree value.Ĭorresponding angles (F property): Angles which share a line segment that intersects with parallel lines, and are in the same relative position on each respective parallel line, are equivalent. \(\measuredangle JSR, \, \measuredangle OST\) are vertical angles. Vertical angles (X property): Angles which share line segments and vertexes are equivalent. \(\measuredangle JSN, \, \measuredangle NSK\) are supplementary angles. \(\measuredangle PRQ, \, \measuredangle QRI\) are complementary angles. \(\measuredangle HRL, \, \measuredangle HRO\) are adjacent.Ĭomplementary angles: add up to 90°. Obtuse angle: Angles which measure > 90° - \(\measuredangle CDE\)Īcute angle: Angles which measure 180°, which adds to an angle to make 360° - \(\measuredangle CDE\)'s reflex angle is \(\measuredangle CDF + \measuredangle FDE\)Īdjacent angles: Have the same vertex and share a side. Right angle: Angles which measure 90° - \(\measuredangle ABC\) Normally, Angle is measured in degrees (\(^0\)) or in radians rad). A plane is a flat surface that extends indefinitely.Īngle: \(\measuredangle ACB\). A line is straight and extends infinitely in the opposite directions. A point has no dimension (length or width), but it does have a location. The most basic terms of geometry are a point, a line, and a plane. There are two types of Euclidean geometry: plane geometry, which is two-dimensional Euclidean geometry, and solid geometry, which is three-dimensional Euclidean geometry. Problem 1.3 (Name the Line) Use the appropriate notation to name the following line in five different ways.\)Įuclidean geometry, sometimes called parabolic geometry, is a geometry that follows a set of propositions that are based on Euclid's five postulates. Problem 1.2 (Name the Plane) Use the appropriate notation to name the following plane in two different ways. The location of San Francisco, California Problem 1.1 (Geometry in Real Life) Give the geometric term(s) that is best modeled by each.Ī. A 4-dimensional space consists of an infinite number of 3-dimensional spaces. We then refer to "normal" space as 3-dimensional space. Mathematics can extend space beyond the three dimensions of length, width, and height. It extends indefinitely in all directions. Space is made up of all possible planes, lines, and points. In more obvious language, a plane is a flat surface that extends indefinitely in its two dimensions, length and width. All possible lines that pass through the third point and any point in the line make up a plane. A line exists in one dimension, and we specify a line with two points. The point of the end of two rays is called the vertex.Ī point exists in zero dimensions. Note that a line segment has two end-points, a ray one, and a line none.Īn angle can be formed when two rays meet at a common point. That point is called the end-point of the ray. A ray extends indefinitely in one direction, but ends at a single point in the other direction. We construct a ray similarly to the way we constructed a line, but we extend the line segment beyond only one of the original two points. On the other hand, an unlimited number of lines pass through any single point. For any two points, only one line passes through both points. You may specify a line by specifying any two points within the line. Like the line segments that constitute it, it has no width or height. Its length, having no limit, is infinite. A line extends indefinitely in a single dimension. The set of all possible line segments findable in this way constitutes a line. In this way we extend the original line segment indefinitely. Starting with the corresponding line segment, we find other line segments that share at least two points with the original line segment.
As for a line segment, we specify a line with two endpoints.
