GEOMETRY IN THE REAL

WORLD
By: Shaquan Williams

POINT
In Geometry, we express a
point as a location and no size.
A line is defined as something
that extends infinitely in either
track but has no width and is
one dimensional while a even
extends noticeably in two
dimensions. There are three
undefined relationships in
geometry.

LINE
A line is a straight onedimensional figure having no
thickness and extending
infinitely in both directions. A
line is sometimes called a
straight line or, more
archaically, a right line (Casey
1893), to emphasize that it has
no "wiggles" anywhere along
its length.

PLANE
A line is defined as
something that extends
infinitely in either
direction but has no
width and is one
dimensional while a
plane extends infinitely in
two dimensions. There
are three undefined
terms in geometry.

SEGMENT
A line segment is a
piece, or part, of a line
in geometry. A line
segment is represented
by end points on each
end of the line
segment. A line in
geometry is
represented by a line
with arrows at each end

RAY
In geometry, a
ray is a line
with a single
endpoint (or
point of origin)
that extends
infinitely in
one direction.

COLLINEAR POINTS
Three or more points , ,
, ..., are said to be
collinear if they lie on a
single straight line . A
line on which points
lie, especially if it is
related to a geometric
figure such as a
triangle, is sometimes
called an axis.

ACUTE ANGLE
An angle that
measures less
than ninety
degrees but
more than zero
degrees.
(Compare
obtuse angle
and right angle

OBTUSE ANGLE
An obtuse angle is
one which is more
than 90 but less
than 180 In other
words, it is
between a right
angle and a
straight angle.
Obtuse Angle
Examples.

RIGHT ANGLE
A right angle is equal to 90
degrees. A line segment
(AB) drawn so that it forms
right angles with a line
(CD). In geometry and
trigonometry, a right angle
is an angle that bisects the
angle formed by two
halves of a straight line.

PERPENDICULAR LINES
Adjective
Intersecting at or
forming a right
angle or right
angles. Noun A
line or plane that
is perpendicular
to a given line or
plane

COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES
Two Angles are
Complementary when they
add up to 90 degrees (a
Right Angle). They don't have
to be next to each other, just
so long as the total is 90
degrees. Examples: 60 and
30 are complementary
angles. 5 and 85 are
complementary angles.

SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES
Two Angles are
Supplementary when they
add up to 180 degrees.
These two angles (140 and
40) are Supplementary
Angles, because they add up
to 180: Notice that together
they make a straight angle.
But the angles don't have to
be together.

VERTICAL ANGLES
Vertical Angles
are the angles
opposite each
other when two
lines cross. They
are always equal.
In this example
a and b are
vertical angles.
