In this PowerPoint you will be

learning the definitions and real
words examples of the following
words

Point
Line
Plane
Segment
Ray
Collinear
Points

Acute Angle
Obtuse Angle
Right Angle
Perpendicular
Lines
Complementary
Angles

Point - A precise location or place

on a plane. Usually represented by
a dot.
Through any two points, there is exactly one
line.
D

This picture represent the

term Point because if you
were to place it in a specific
place, it would only represent
that place, and its also

Line - A geometrical object that

is straight, infinitely long and
infinitely thin.

A line contains at least two

points.

This picture represents the

term Line because it goes
infinitely into one direction
and never ends. (It does
end somewhere, but this is

This picture represents

the term Plane
because it is a flat
surface that extends in

Segment Afinitesectionofaline.
A segment can have a midpoint.

The picture represents the term

Segment because the pencil
begins at the tip, which can
represent one point, and the
pencil ends at the eraser which

Ray - A portion of a line which starts at

a point and goes off in a particular
direction to infinity.
Sun
A ray only has one endpoint.

This picture represents the

term Ray because it starts
at a point, which would be the
sun, and the light goes on

lie in a straight line
Sunflowers

It takes three points that lie in a

straight line to be called collinear
points.

Acute Angle - Any angle with a

measure less than 90
An acute angle can never measure 90 or
more.

Obtuse Angle - an angle with a

measure greater than 90
Obtuse angles will always be less then 180
degrees but greater then 90 degrees.

term Obtuse Angle because
this all hockey sticks are open
more then 90.

Right Angle An angle whose measure is

exactly 90 degrees.
Window

All right angles are congruent.

This picture represents the term

Right Angle because all the
angles of a square are right
angles. Even though this picture
does not say it is 90 degrees, we

Perpendicular Lines - A line is perpendicular

to another if it meets or crosses it at right angles
(90).
Cross
A perpendicular line will always have four
right angles.

This picture represents the

term Perpendicular Angle
because there is two lines
that are intersecting at

Complementary Angles When two angles

sum add up to 90 degrees.
Complementary angles are always
acute.

because two slices of pizza will
add up to 90 degrees, weather
they are touching out pulled

Supplementary Angles Two angles who

sum is always 180 degrees.
British Flag

In order to be a supplementary angle you can not

have two acute angles.

60

This picture represents the term

Supplementary Angles because the
two right angles on the top or the
bottom of the flag both measure 90
degrees, and when you add them
together theyre supplementary.
