In geometry, defined
terms are terms that have
a formal definition and
can be defined using
other geometrical terms.
What is the definition of the
basic geometric word:
1. Angle - is a combination
of two rays (half-lines) with
a common endpoint
The four characteristics of a good definition
are:
1. It names the term being defined;
2. It places the term into a set or category;
3. It distinguishes itself from other terms in
that category (without providing
unnecessary facts)
4. It is reversible.
Give at least 3 basic geometric
word and give its definition
Why it is important to
define a certain word?
