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.

Stack

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.

GEOMETRY IN THE REAL WORLD

PT 2 (TRIANGLES)

Vertical Angles
each of the pairs of opposite angles made by
two intersecting lines
The picture shows vertical angles because
they intersect

Acute Triangle
all angles are less than right angleseach one is
less than 90 degrees.
In the picture all angles are less than 90 degrees

Obtuse Triangle
one angle is greater than a right angleit is
more than 90 degrees
The picture shows one side that is an obtuse
and other is straight.

Equilateral Triangles
all three internal angles are also congruent to each
other and are each 60.
This rubic cube shows triangles that all sides are
equal

Isosceles Triangles
has two sides of equal length
This picture is a piece of pizza which two sides
are equal and the other is not.

Scalene Triangle
has three unequal sides
This picture shows all three sides are unequal
