Good Definitions Geometry Mr. Zampetti Unit 1, Day 7
Properties of Good Definitions • Uses clearly understood terms.
Bad Example: Widget: A thingamabob with 2 extending whosamagigs.
Properties of Good Definitions • Uses clearly understood terms. • Precise. Avoids words such as “large,” “sort of,” and “some”.
Bad Example: • Carp: A big fish.
Properties of Good Definitions • Uses clearly understood terms. • Precise. Avoids words such as “large,” “sort of,” and “some”. • States what the term IS, not what the term IS NOT.
Bad Example: Big: the opposite of small.
Properties of Good Definitions • Uses clearly understood terms. • Precise. Avoids words such as “large,” “sort of,” and “some”. • States what the term IS, not what the term IS NOT. • Is reversible.
Great Example: Right angle: an angle that measures 90º. Also, an angle that measures 90º is a right angle.
Definition Midpoint: the point that divides a line segment into two congruent segments.
Definition Segment Bisector: a segment, line, or ray that divides a line segment into two congruent segments.
Definition Perpendicular Lines: two lines that intersect to form right angles. ()
Definition Perpendicular Bisector of a segment: a line, segment or ray that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint.
Definition Angle Bisector: a ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles.
