right angles.

given sets.
Bisection- To cut or divide into two parts, especially two equal parts.
Midpoint- 1. Mathematics. The point of a line segment
or curvilinear arc that divides it into two parts of the same length.
2. A position midway between two extremes.
Shapes- Something, such as a mold or pattern, used to
give or determine form.
Plane- 1. Mathematics. A surface containing all
the straight lines that connect any two points on it.
2. A flat or level surface.
Coordinate- Any of a set of two or more numbers
used to determine the position of a point, line, curve, or plane in a space
of a given dimension with respect to a system of lines or other fixed references.
Coordinate Pairs- Any of a set of two or more numbers
used to determine the position of a point, line, curve, or plane in a space
of a given dimension with respect to a system of lines or other fixed references.
Acute Angle- An angle of less than 90°.

together.
3. The figure formed by two lines diverging from a common
point.
slope- a. The rate at which an ordinate of a point of a line on a coordinate plane changes with respect to a change in the abscissa.
