Math

 Congruent – having the same size or shape

 Triangle – 3-sided polygon
 Corresponds – similar or equal
 Congruent Triangles – two triangles are congruent if their corresponding
parts are congruent
 SSS Postulate – Side, side, side
 SAS Postulate – Side, angle, side
 ASA Postulate – Angle, side, side
 Right Triangle – a triangle in which one angle is a right angle (90 degrees)
 Hypotenuse – Longest side of a right triangle
 Legs – two lines that intersect to determine the right triangle
 HL Theorem – Hypotenuse, leg
 HA Theorem – Hypotenuse, angle
 LL Theorem – Leg, leg
 LA Theorem – Leg, angle
 Geo – Earth
 Metri – measurement
 Euclid of Alexandria – also known as Euclid. Father and Founder of
Geometry. Greek Philosopher
 Elements – basic textbook in geometry
 Point – dot. Has no length, width, or thickness; occupies no space
 Line – straight marks with two arrow heads. Has infinite length but has no
width and thickness; is straight.
 Planes – slanted 4-sided figure. Has infinite length and width, but no
thickness; is a flat surface.
 Coplanar – points that lie on the same plane
 Non-coplanar – points that do not lie on the same plane
 Collinear - points that lie on the same line
 Non-collinear - points that do not lie on the same line
 Intersecting lines – two lines with a common point.
 Perpendicular Lines - Two lines that are intersecting to each other and
formed a four right angles.
 Parallel Lines – coplanar lines that do not intersect
 Congruent Lines - Are three or more lines that have a common point.
 Parallel Planes - Planes that have no common planes
 Skew Lines - Are two lines that are not coplanar
 Intersecting Planes - Planes that intersecting in a line.
 Distance Postulate - Given any pair of distinct points, a unique positive real
number corresponds to the distance between the two points.
 Ruler Postulate - The points on a line can be matched one to one with the
real numbers.
