HSG.CO.A.1: Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc.

What you'll learn

  1. State precise definitions for angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment
  2. Explain how these definitions build on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc
  3. Distinguish between defined terms (those built from undefined concepts) and undefined terms (accepted without definition)
  4. Use precise definitions to identify whether given examples satisfy the definition of each term
  5. Recognize the importance of precision in mathematical definitions and how it differs from informal everyday language
