Undefined Terms
Terms that are only explained using
examples and descriptions
Point
A location (coordinates); represented
by a dot; named by a capital letter
Line
Made up of points and has no thickness
or width; extends infinitely in opposite
directions; named by lower case script
letter or by two points
Plane
Flat surface made up of points that
has no depth and extends indefinitely
in all directions; named by capital script
letter, or, by three non-collinear points
Collinear
Points that lie on the same line
Coplanar
Points that lie in the same plane
Intersection
A set of points common to two or more
geometric figures

Line Segment
Definition
Example
A measurable part of a line that
consists of two points, called
endpoints, and all of the points
between them
Between
For any two points A and B on a line,
there is another point C between A and
B if and only if A, B, and C are collinear
and AC + CB = AB
Congruent
Segments
Segments that have the same measure
Examples
Find m
C
B
A
Find the value of n and YZ if Y is between X
and Z
XY = 11, YZ = 4n, XZ = 83

Term
Definition
Example
Distance
The length of the segment between
two points
Midpoint
The point on a segment exactly halfway
between the endpoints of the segment
Segment Bisector
A segment, line, or plane that intersects
a segment at its midpoint
Formulas
Distance Formula
Examples
Find the distance between the points V(5, 7) and
U(2, 3).
Midpoint Formula (Plane)
