Term
square
Definition
All sides are congruent. Has a right angle. All opposite sides are parallel. A quadrilateral -4 sides.
Term
parallelogram
Definition
All opposite sides are parallel. A quadrilateral -4 sides
Term
Hexagon
Definition
A six-sided figure.
Term
Pentagon
Definition
A five-sided figure.
Term
Diagonals
Definition
A line segment connecting two vertices across a polygon.
Term
angles of a triangle
Definition
The three angles of a triangle = 180 degrees.
Term
obtuse triangles
Definition
Obtuse triangles have one obtuse angle (angle greater than 90 degrees.)
Term
rectangle
Definition
Has two congruent sides. Has a right angle. All opposite sides are parallel.
Term
rhombus
Definition
Has four congruent sides. All opposite sides are parallel.
Term
trapezoid
Definition
Only one pair of sides are parallel. A quadrilateral - 4 sides.
Term
congruent
Definition
Means the SAME. Polygons are congruent if they have the same sized angles and the same simangles.
Term
similar
Definition
Identical in shape, but not size.
Term
Name the parts of a triangle
Definition
Leg, leg, hypotenuse.
Term
change a percent to a decimal
Definition
Move the decimal two places to the left. PeDaL (percent decimal go left.)
Term
bisector
Definition
To cut an angle or segment in half.
Term
point
Definition
A dot with no length or width, it just specifies an exact location.
Term
ray
Definition
A part of a line starting at a point and extending infinitely in one direction.
Term
line segment
Definition
A section of a line. A line segment has two endpoints.
Term
line
Definition
A straight path that connects two points and extends infinitely in both directions.
Term
endpoint
Definition
A point used to define a line segment or ray. A line segment has two endpoints; a ray has one.
Term
right triangles
Definition
Right triangles have one right angle (an angle equal to 90 degrees.)
Term
acute triangles
Definition
Acute triangles have three acute angles (less than 90 degrees.)
Term
equiangular triangle
Definition
Equiangular triangles have all three angles the same size.
Term
4 ways to classify triangles by their angles
Definition
Equiangular, Acute, Obtuse, Right.
Term
equilateral triangles
Definition
All 3 sides of the triangle are the same length.
Term
Isosceles triangles
Definition
At least 2 sides are the same length.
Term
Scalene triangles
Definition
No sides are the same length.
Term
3 ways to classify triangles by the length of their sides.
Definition
Scalene, Isosceles, and Equilateral.
Term
two ways to classify triangles
Definition
The length of their sides. The size of their angles.
Term
supplementary angles
Definition
The sum fo two angles equals 180 degrees.
Term
Pythagorean Theorem
Definition
The sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
Term
vertical angles
Definition
Vertical angles are angles opposite one another at the intersection of two lines. Vertical angles are congruent.
Term
adjacent angles
Definition
Two angles in a plane which share a common vertex and a common side but do not overlap.
Term
transversal
Definition
A line that cuts across a set of lines or sides of a plane figure. Transversals often cut across parallel lines.
Term
corresponding angles
Definition
The angles in matching corners are called corresponding angles.
