Final Answer:
The table defines basic geometric terms with examples and how to read them aloud. For instance:
- A
point is an exact spot in space, e.g., “point Z”.
- A
line is a straight path that goes on forever in both directions, e.g., “line LM” or “line segment AB” (if it has endpoints).
- A
ray starts at one point and goes through another forever, e.g., “ray CD”.
- A
plane is a flat surface with no edges, e.g., “plane C D B”.
-
Parallel lines never intersect, e.g., “line WX is parallel to line YZ”.
-
Intersecting lines cross at one point, e.g., “line AB intersects line CD”.
-
Perpendicular lines form 90° angles where they meet, e.g., “line YZ is perpendicular to line WX”.
- A
right angle is exactly 90°, e.g., “right angle ABC”.
- An
acute angle is less than 90°, e.g., “acute angle DEF”.
- An
obtuse angle is more than 90° but less than 180°, e.g., “obtuse angle GHI”.
- A
straight angle is exactly 180°, e.g., “straight angle JKL”.
