This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

Segment |
Part of a line consisting of two end points and the points between them |
Ray |
Part of a line consisting of an end point and all the points to one side |
Parallel Lines |
Coplaner lines that do not intersect |
Skew Lines |
Non-coplaner lines that do not intersect |

Planes that do not intersect |
Midpoint |
Point on a segment that divides a segment into 2 congruent segments |
Acute Angle |
Greater than 0 and less than 90 |
Right angle |
90 degree angle |
Obtuse angle |

Congruent angles |
Angles with the same measure |
Vertical angles |
Opposite angles formed by intersecting lines |
Complementary angles |
2 angles that add up to 90 degrees |
Supplementry angles |
2 angles that add up to 180 degrees |
Transversal |
A line that intersects 2 or more coplaner lines at distinct points |
Acute Triangle |
All angles are acute |
Right Triangle |
One right angle |
Obtuse Triangle |
One obtuse angle |
Equalateral Triangle |
All sides are congruent |
Isosceles Triangle |
2 congruent sides |
Scalene Triangle |
No congruent sides |
Circumcenter |
The point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle |
Altitude |
Height of a triangle |
Centroid |
Point of concurrency of the medians; always lies within the triangle |
Quadrilateral |
Polygon with 4 sides |
Equidistant |

Don't kill me if one of these are wrong, I just have what Mrs. Craig taught us.

Other things you "need" to know
Congruence Statements |
ASA, SAS, SSS, AAS, HL |
Pythagorean Theorem |
FOR RIGHT TRIANGLES ONLY |
Theorem 1 |
Parallel lines are always the same distance apart |
Theorem 2 |
If parallel lines cut one transversal into equal parts, it cuts any transversal into equal parts |
