A | B |
parallel lines | 2 lines that never intersect |
perpendicular lines | two lines that form four right angles |
acute angles | angles less than 90 degrees |
Obtuse angles | angles greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees |
straight angles | angles that measure 180 degrees |
adjacent angles | angles that share a common vertex and common side (next to) |
transversal | a line that intersects 2 or more other lines |
alternate interior angles | angles on opposite side of the transveral and on the inside of the parallel lines/are congruent |
alternate exterior angles | angles on opposite sides of the transveral, on the outside of the parallel lines/are congruent |
corresponding angles | angles on the same side of the transversal, one on the inside, one on the outside, Big C, are congruent |
scalene triangle | no equal sides |
isosceles triangle | 2 sides are congruent |
equilateral triange | all three sides are congruent |
acute triangle | a triangle with 3 acute angles |
obtuse triangle | a triangle with 1 obtuse angle |
right triangle | a triangle with a right angle |
right angle | an angle that measures 90 degrees |
vertical angles | angles that are opposite/across from each other/are congruent |
