AB
TranslatedTransferred, moved, re-located.
Hexagonal prismPrism composed of two hexagonal bases and six rectangular sides.
FunctionA relation between two sets, where one element of the second set is assigned to each element of the first set.
EquationA number sentence that uses the equal sign.
Independent variableA variable that stands alone. For Y= 2x -5x +3, y is the independent variable.
Corresponding Dependent ValueMeaning; the value of one variable is dependent upon the value of the other.
OctagonA shape with 8 sides.
ApothemThe length of a segment from the center of a polygon to the midpoint of one of the sides.
QuadrilateralAny polygon with four sides.
CoordinateThe two numbers in a number pair used to find or define the position of a point or line. Also referred to as a "number pair" or "ordered pair".
VetexPoint of intersection of rays or lines.
CongruentFigures that have the same size and shape.
IntersectTo cross, or meet on a line.
Initial pressureThe pressure that is there to begin with.
Quadratic EquationAn equation that includes only second degree polynomials. 1.6a + 5.9a - 3.14 = 0
ParabolaA U-shaped curve with certain specific qualities.
DimensionsMeasurements describing an object.
SufficientSomething that works, or is adequate.
Linear functionA function that shows one side of the linear polynomial is equal to the other, or the constant.
PolygonA closed figure formed entirely by line segments.
ExpressionAny mathematical formula combining numbers and variables using sums, differences, qoutients, products, etc.
DiagonalA line that is on a slant, and usually cuts through a space.
Right TriangleA triangle with an angle of 90 degrees
SlopeThe amount of slope or inclination of a line through a coordinate graph.
PerpendicularLines that intersect to form a 90 degree angle.
ParallelLines that do not cross or intersect and would never do so, even if they were extended forever.
RatioA comparison of two numbers by division. If you have 10 apples and 5 oranges, the ratio of apples to oranges is 2:1.
ApproximateAs close to exact as possible
Ordered PairsSets of coordinates. Usually a set of numbers that represent two places on the two axes of a graph or grid.
VerticesMore than one vertex. Vertex is a corner or point of a geometric figure.
Isosceles TrapezoidA trapezoid with base angles that are the same.
Equilateral TriangleA triangle with three congruent sides.
EquidistantAn equal distant from two sets of points.
Corresponding AnglesPairs of angles that are created when parallel lines are intersected by a third line. They are almost always equal.
Corresponding sidesSides of a polygon that are normally across from each other, and equal in size and length.
InequalityComparison of two things that are not equal. Usually written with either of these signs; < or >
Polynomial EquationsAn equation involving two sets of ordered pairs.
3-dimensionalIndicating that movement can take place in 3 mutually perpendicular directions.
Horizontal DistanceDistance across a shape from one side to the other.
Vertical DistanceDistance across a shape from top to bottom.
IrregularOdd, not normal.
IntegerAll positve and negative whole numbers, including zero.
Palindrome IntegerAn integer that is the same forward as it is backwards. 22, 1881, 2002, 10701
ModeThe number seen most out of a set of numbers.
MeanThe average of a set of numbers.
MedianThe number that is in the middle of a set of numbers, when ordered from smallest to largest.
RangeThe difference between the smallest number and the biggest number in a set of numbers.
Lateral Surface AreaThe surface area of a solid that includes on the lateral sides, and not the base.
Interpretation (of a graph)Reading a graph. What is the information from the graph telling you.
