Let's solve this step by step. The task is to fill in the
"DEFINITION" column for each geometry term based on the
"WORD" and the visual
"PICTURE" provided.
Here’s a completed version of the table with accurate definitions for each term:
---
✔ GEOMETRY TERMS NOTES
| WORD | DEFINITION | PICTURE |
|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
|
Point | A location in space that has no size or dimension. It is represented by a dot. | ● |
|
Line | A straight path that extends infinitely in both directions. It has no endpoints. | ↔ |
|
Plane | A flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions. It has two dimensions: length and width. | ↔↕ (rectangle with arrows) |
|
Line Segment | A part of a line that has two endpoints and includes all points between them. | •———• |
|
Ray | A part of a line that has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction. | •——→ |
|
Angle | A figure formed by two rays that share a common endpoint called the vertex. | ∠ |
|
Parallel Lines | Two lines that lie in the same plane and never intersect, no matter how far they are extended. | ↔↔ |
|
Perpendicular Lines | Two lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees). | ⊥ (with square symbol) |

🔍 Explanation of Each Term:
1.
Point
- A point defines a specific location in space.
- It has no length, width, or depth.
- Represented as a dot (●).
2.
Line
- Goes on forever in both directions.
- Has no endpoints.
- Shown with arrows on both ends (↔).
3.
Plane
- A flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely.
- Can be thought of like a floor or wall that goes on forever.
- Represented by a rectangle with arrows indicating infinite extension.
4.
Line Segment
- A finite portion of a line.
- Has two distinct endpoints.
- Measurable length.
5.
Ray
- Starts at a point (endpoint) and continues infinitely in one direction.
- One arrow shows it goes on forever.
6.
Angle
- Formed when two rays meet at a common point (vertex).
- Measured in degrees.
- The "V" shape shown indicates an angle.
7.
Parallel Lines
- Always the same distance apart and never meet.
- Must be in the same plane.
- Arrows show both lines extend infinitely without crossing.
8.
Perpendicular Lines
- Intersect at exactly 90°.
- The small square at the intersection indicates a right angle.
- Often denoted with the symbol ⊥.
