Geometry

AB
conea three dimensional figure with one vertex and one circular base
legsIn a right triangle, the sides that include the right angle
spherea three-dimensional figure with all points the same distance from the center
radiusa line segment with one endpoint at the center of the circle and the other endpoint on the circle
hemispherea half of a sphere
diametera line segment that passes through the center of the circle and has endpoints on the circle
right conea cone in which a perpendicular line is drawn from the base to the tip passes through the center of the base
regular pyramida pyramid whose base is a regular polygon and whose lateral faces are all congruent
circlethe set of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point called the center
hypotenusein a right triangle, the side opposite the right angle
circumferencethe distance around a circle
surface areathe sum of the areas of the faces, or surfaces of a three dimensional figure
cylindera three dimensional figure with two parallel congruent circular bases connected by a curved lateral surface
prisma polyhedron that has two congruent, polygon-shaped bases and other faces that are all parallelograms
pythagorean theoremThe theorem stating that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs
slant heightthe distance from the base of a cone to its vertex, measured along the lateral surface
lateral surfaceIn a cylinder, the curved surface connecting the circular bases; in a cone, the curved surface that is not a base
pyramida polyhedron with a polygon base and triangular sides that all meet at a common vertex
lateral faceIn a prism or pyramid, a face that is not a base
