Systems of Equations
Definition
A system of linear equations is formed by two or more linear equations that use the same variables.
Term
Surface Area
Definition
The surface area of a 3D figure is the sum of the areas of all its faces, including the bases.
Term
Lateral Surface Area
Definition
The sum of the areas of the lateral faces of a 3D figure, NOT including the bases.
Term
Radius
Definition
A line segment that has one endpoint at the center and the other endpoint on the circle; halfway.
Term
Pythagorean Theorem
Definition

In any right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs equals the square of the length of the hypotenuse.

a2 + b2 = c2

Term

Term
Volume
Definition
The number of cubic units needed to fill a solid 3D figure.
Term
Prism
Definition

Term
Cylinder
Definition
A 3D figure with two parallel circular bases that are congruent; its lateral face is a curved surface.
Term
Distributive Property
Definition

Multiplying a number by the sum or difference; same result as multiplying that number by each turm in the sum or difference.
