Answer key and explanations

B. An angle equal to 90°
A right angle is a special angle that measures exactly 90°. Think of the corner of your notebook — that's a right angle! Acute angles are smaller, obtuse angles are bigger, and straight angles are perfectly flat at 180°.
B. A straight path between two points with a definite start and end
A line segment is like a piece of string with two knots at each end — it stops at both points. A line keeps going forever both ways, and a ray has just one starting point and goes forever in one direction.
C. A ray
A ray is like a beam of light from a flashlight — it starts at one point and shines forever in one direction only. A line keeps going both ways, a segment stops at both ends, and a point is just one spot with no size at all.
A. An exact location with no size or shape
A point is simply a precise spot in space — like marking a location on a map with a pin. It has no length, width, or height; we just draw it as a tiny dot to show where it is.
A. An acute angle
This angle opens up a small amount, much less than a right angle. Since it's less than 90°, it's an acute angle.
C. An obtuse angle
This angle opens wide — wider than a right angle but not as wide as a straight line. That makes it an obtuse angle, which is between 90° and 180°.
A. Diagram A
Look for the small square symbol in the corner — that's geometry's way of saying "this is a right angle!" Only Diagram A has that special marker.
A. Diagram A
Parallel lines are like train tracks — they go the same direction and never bump into each other. The matching tick marks on Diagram A confirm these lines stay the same distance apart forever.
