SECTION 1.4 Exploring Geometry by using Paper Folding Unit 1
PERPENDICULAR LINES PARALLEL LINES 2 lines that intersect to form a right angle 2 coplanar lines that do not intersect
CONJECTURE A statement that you think is true. An “EDUCATED GUESS” based on observations.
A conjecture about perpendicular and parallel lines If 2 coplanar lines are perpendicular to the same line, then _____________
Measuring the distance from a point to a line Why do you think the distance from a point to a line is defined along a perpendicular segment??
PAPER FOLDING ACTIVITY #2
SEGMENT & ANGLE BISECTORS
REMEMBER… A segment is: ENDPOINTS ON BOTH ENDS
SEGMENT BISECTOR A line that divides a segment into 2 congruent parts
MIDPOINT The point where a bisector intersects a segment.
PERPENDICULAR BISECTOR A bisector that is perpendicular to a segment.
