Two-Dimensional Geometry

Use your knowledge of 2-dimensional geometry to complete the task below. Play it over and over as there are many terms. Good luck!

AB
AngleTwo rays that meet at a common endpoint
Acute AngleAn angle with a measure less than 90 degrees
CircleThe set of all points that lie the
CongruentSame size, same shape
HexagonA polygon with 6 sides, 6 angles, and 6 vertices
LineA set of points that form a straight path that goes in opposite directions without ending
Line SegmentPart of a line between two endpoints
Obtuse AngleAn angle whose measure is greater than 90 degrees
OctagonA polygon with 8 sides, 8 angles, and 8 vertices
Parallel LinesLines that lie in the same plane, never intersect, and are the same distance apart
ParallelogramFour-sided (quadrilateral) polygon with opposite sides parallel and opposite sides congruent
Perpendicular LinesLines that intersect at right angles (90 degrees) to each other
PentagonA polygon with 5 sides, 5 angles, and 5 vertices
PlaneA flat surface that goes on forever in all directions
PointAn exact location in space, represented by a dot
PolygonA closed figure made by joining line segments, where each line segment intersects exactly two others only at the endpoints
QuadrilateralAny four-sided polygon
RayPart of a line that has one endpoint and continues without end in one direction
RectangleFour-sided polygon (quadrilateral) with 4 right (90 degrees) angles, adjacent sides perpendicular, opposite sides congruent, and opposite sides parallel
Right AngleAn angle that measures 90 degrees; lines that are at a right angle to each other are perpendicular
RhombusFour-sided polygon (quadrilateral) having all four sides congruent and opposite sides parallel
SquareFour-sided polygon (quadrilateral) with all sides congruent, opposite sides parallel, 4 right (90 degrees) angles, and adjacent sides perpendicular
TrapezoidFour-sided polygon (quadrilateral) with exactly one pair of parallel sides
TriangleA polygon with 3 sides, 3 angles, 3 vertices
Two-DimensionalA figure that has two basic units of measurement (usually length and width)
Vertex (plural - vertices)The point (corner) of intersection of two edges in a two-dimensional figure
