Geometry - Similarity, Angles and Parallel Lines

AB
Acute angleAn angle of measure less than 90º, but more than 0°.
Alternate Exterior AnglesAngles on opposite sides of a transversal and outside the lines crossed by the transversal.
Alternate Interior AnglesTwo nonadjacent angles on opposite sides of a transversal that are inside the lines crossed by the transversal.
Angle BisectorA line or ray that divides an angle in half
Base AnglesThe angles opposite the two equal sides in an isosceles triangles. A pair of angles that share a base as a common side in a trapezoid.
Complementary AnglesTwo angles whose measures have a sum of 90º.
Congruent Triangles (SSS,SAS,ASA,AAS)Triangles that have the same shape and size
Convex PolygonsA polygon in which the measure of each angle is less than 180º
Corresponding AnglesAngles that are located in similar places along a transversal that intersects two lines; also, angles from congruent or similar figures in corresponding positions.
Exterior AngleAn angle formed by one side of a polygon and the extension of an adjacent side
Interior AngleThe angle that open toward the inside of the polygon
Isosceles TriangleA triangle with two sides of equal length
Obtuse AngleAn angle of measure greater than 90º and less than 180°.
Parallel LinesStraight lines in a plane that never intersect, no matter how far they are extended.
Reflex AngleAn angle of measure greater than 180º and less than 360º.
Scaling FactorThe ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides of two similar figures.
SimilarTwo objects such that the distance between any two points of one object is a particular constant times the distance between the corresponding points of the other object.
Straight AnlgeAn angle of measure 180º.
Supplementary AnglesTwo angles whose measures have a sum of 180º.
TransversalA straight line that intersects two or more other coplanar straight lines at distinct points.
Vertical AnglesCongruent angles that form opposite each other when two lines intersect.
