Term
polygon
Definition
A closed, plane (two dimensional) shape formed by segments that meet at their endpoints is called a ______________________________. Examples are triangles, quadrilaterals and hexagons.
Term
convex (polygon)
Definition
Draw a kite shaped polygon on your paper somewhere. Notice that if you draw a segment connecting any two non-adjacent vertices that the segment only passes through the interior. We would classify the kite as a(n) ______________________________.
Term
concave (polygon)
Definition

If you connect points O and Y on the figure below with a line segment. The segment will pass through the exterior of POLY. For that reason we would classify POLY as a(n) ______________________________.

Term
equiangular (polygon)
Definition
A polygon is ______________________________ if and only if all of its interior angles have the same measure.
Term
equilateral  (polygon)
Definition
In pentagon TIGER, TI = IG = GE = ER = RT. TIGER is a(n) ______________________________ polygon.
Term
regular (polygon)
Definition
A particular hexagon has six sides of the same length and six angles of the same measure. We would classify this hexagon as a(n) ________________________________________.
Term
center (of a regular polygon)
Definition

Because point F is equidistant from points A, B, C, D and E, we could classify it as the ________________________________________ of ABCDE.

Term
central angle (of a regular polygon)
Definition
The vertex of a(n) ________________________________________ lies at the polygon's center, and its sides pass through adjacent vertices of the polygon.
Term
interior angle (of a polygon)
Definition

Any angle on the inside of a polygon that is formed by two segments that define the polygon is called a(n) ______________________________.

Term
exterior angle (of a polygon)
Definition

Because adjacent angles HAR and RAY are supplementary, we would classify angle HAR as a(n) ________________________________________ of HARLEY.

Term
perpendicular (lines)
Definition

Two lines intersect to form a 90º angle. We refer to them as _____________________________.

Term
parallel (lines)
Definition
If line m and line n are in the same plane but end up never intersecting, we say that they are ______________________________.
Term
slope
Definition

______________________________ is a measure of how steep a line is.

Term
midpoint (of a segment)
Definition
If point J is on segment PQ such that PJ = JQ, then we refer to J as the ______________________________ of PQ.
