Math - Unit 1

point

single spot, no dimensions (small), one uppercase letter

segment

line with two end points, finite # points, 1D

line

goes forever both directions, infinite # points, 1D

ray

1 defined end, infinite # points, 1D

plane

labeled 3 or more letters, non collinear, 2D

midpoint formula

distance formula

square root of (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

dissect
