A | B |
plane | a flat surface that extends indefinitely in all directions and has no thickness |
intersecting lines | These lines lie in the same plan and have exactly one point in common |
parallel lines | These lines lie in the same plan and never intersect |
skew lines | Lines that lie in different planes. They aren't parallel nor intersecting. |
point | A location - no size - named by a capital letter |
line | a series of points that extend in opposite directions without end. |
ray | A part of a line with one endpoint and all the points of the line on one side of the endpoint |
segment | A part of a line with two endpoints and all points in between |
acute angle | an angle with the measure between 0 - 90 degrees |
right angle | an angle with the measure of 90 degrees |
obtuse angle | an angle that measures between 90 - 180 degrees |
straight angle | 180 degrees ( a straight line) |
complementary angles | angles that together measure 90 degrees |
supplementary angle | angles that together measure 180 degrees |
adjacent angles | angles that share a vertex and a side but have no interior points in common |
vertical angles | formed by 2 intersecting lines and are opposite each other |
congruent angles | angles with equal measures |
isosceles triangle | triangle that has at least 2 congruent sides |
equilateral triangle | triangle that has 3 congruent sides |
scalene triangle | triangle that has NO congruent sides |
angle sum of a triangle | 180 degrees |
circle | the set of points in a plane that are all the same distance from a given point, called the center |
radius | a segment that connects the center of a circle to the circle |
diameter | a segment that passes through the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle |
central angle | an angle with its vertex at the center of a circle |
chord | a segment that has both endpoints on the circle |
arc | part of a circle |
semicircle | half of a circle |
transversal | a line that intersects two other lines at different points |
rhombus | four congruent sides |
quadrilateral | four sides |
square | four right angles and four congruent sides |
parallelogram | both pairs of opposite sides are parallel |
trapezoid | exactly one pair of parallel sides |
rectangle | four right angles |
perpendicular lines | lines that intersect to form right angles |
Pythagorean Theorem | In any right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hyotenuse. |
circumference | the distance around the circle |
area | the number of square units the figure encloses |
perimeter | the distance around a figure |
hypotenuse | In a right triangle, the longest side, which is opposite the right angle |
square root | the inverse of the square of a number |
legs | sides of a triangle |
