What is a point?
A point is an exact location in space.
A point is denoted by a dot.
A point has no size.

This picture is a real world

example of a point. It is a end
of a pencil representing a point.
I chose this picture because I
believed it was a good example
of a point.

What is a line?
A line has 0 endpoints
Doesnt have a midpoint
It is infinitely long and straight

This is a interstate its a real

world example of a line. I chose
this picture because interstates
go on and are infinitely straight,
its a good example.

What is a plane?
A plane has two lines that cross to move 90 degrees
It is a flat surface
Extends infinitely in all directions

This desk top is a example of

a plane. I chose this picture
because students use this
everyday at school and it is
a flat surface thats good as
a example of a plane.

What is a segment?
A segment has a midpoint
It is a straight a line which links two points
without extending beyond them.

What is a ray?
Has 1 endpoint
Named by its endpoint
Extends infinitely long in one
direction
It is a portion of a line which
starts at a point and goes off in a
particular direction infinitely.

This picture is a picture of

the sun giving off rays. It is
a good example of a ray in
the real life world.

What is collinear points?

A set of points that lie in a
straight line
They are on the same line

These computers are in a straight line and the

same line. I chose this picture because its a
great example of collinear points in the real
life.

What is an acute angle?

It is an angle that is less than 90 degrees
Its a little angle and less than a right
angle
This picture is a picture
of a piece of pizza. I
chose this because its a
little angle which is an
acute angle. It was a
good example.

What is an obtuse angle?

It is an angle that is greater than 90 degrees

This picture is a example of a

obtuse angle. The pitcher has his
legs angled as an obtuse angle
and that is why I chose this
picture.

What is an right angle?

A angle that is measured exactly to 90 degrees

This is a example of a right angle. I chose this

picture because the way the computer is opened
it is at a right angle example.

What are perpendicular lines?

Perpendicular lines are two or more lines
that intersect at a 90-degree angle.
They intersect each other

This sign is an example

of perpendicular lines,
and that is why I chose
this picture.

What are complementary angles?

They are two angles that measure up
to 90-degrees

This clocks hands are a example of a

complementary angle because it equals
up to 90 degrees.

What are supplementary

angles?
Two angles whose sum are 180-degrees

A road like this is a good example for

a supplementary angle. Because it
equals up to 180 degrees.
