Math: Chapter 5 Vocabulary

AB
equalateralall sides are the same length
polygona shape with many sides
isoscelestwo sides of a triangle equal the same
parallel sideslines that never intersect and is the exact same distance apart
trianglea shape with three sides and three angles
acutean angle less than 90 degrees
obtusean angle more than 90 degrees
rightan angle that is 90 degrees
rectanglea four sided parallelogramwith only right angles
parallelograma shape with two sets of parallel lines
quadrilaterala four sided shape
line of symetrya shape that can be split in half and be the same on either side
scalenea triangle that all of its sides are different lengths
rhombusa parallelogram with four even sides, four angles
trapezoida four sided, four angled shape with one set of parallel lines
rotational symmetrya shape that when you rotate it, it will stay the same
tessellationa tiling made up of copies of the same shape or shapes that fit together
transformationmovements of geometric figures
perpendicularwhen you have two lines that intersect at a right angle
dilationwhen you have a shape or picture and you enlarge it or shrink it to a certain size.
rotationwhen u have something like a shape and u turn it to a different side
transversalwhen a line intersects two parallel lines
reflectionwhen u have something and u flip it to make the same shape
similar trianglestwo triangles that are similar but not exactly the same
congruent trianglesall sides and angles in a triangle are equal
vertical anglescongruent angles formed by the intersection of two lines
translationone type of transformation where a figure is slid horizontaly, verticly, or both
supplementarry anglestwo angles on a line that add up to 180
ASA congruenceIf you have two triangles with two angles and the included side and they are the same
SAS congruenceIn two triangles, two sides and the included angle are the same
SSS congruenceIn two triangles, each side is the same as the same side on a different triangle. Example: Line AB on triangle 1 is the same as line FG on triangle 2
Coresponding AnglesAngles that are in the same spot but ower on a transversal side
Alternate Exterior AnglesAngles that are alternate on the outside of parrallel lines
Alternate Interior anglesAngles that are on the inside of transversal and Parrallel lines
Complementary PartsParts of congruent triangles that match
