Chapter 5 Vocabulary (8th grade)

AB
complementary anglesTwo angles whose measures have a sum of 90 degrees.
supplementary anglesTwo angles whose measures have a sume of 180 degrees.
congruent anglesAngles that have the same measures.
vertical anglesThe angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are congruent.
isosceles triangleA triangle that has at least two congruent sides.
equilangular triangleA triangle that has three conguent angles. Is also an equilateral triangle.
congruent sidesSides that have the same lengths.
polygonA closed plane figure made up of three or more line segments that intersects only at their endpoints.
regular polygonA polygon with congruent sides and congruent angles.
convex polygonA polygon in which every line segment connecting any two vertices lies entirely inside the polygon.
concave polygonA polygon in which at least one line segment connecting any two vertices lies outside the polygon.
equilateral triangleA triangle that has three congruent sides. Is also an equilangular triangle.
similar triangleTriangles that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.
transversalA line that intersects two or more lines.
indirect measurementUsing similar figures to find a missing measurement that is difficult to find directly.
interior anglesWhen two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, four angles are formed on the inside of the parallel lines.
perpendicular linesLines that intersect at right angles.
exterior anglesWhen two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, four angles are formed on the outside of the parallel lines.
parallelTwo lines in the same plane that do not intersect. The also have the same slope.
