AB
linea set of points that extends without end iin two opposite directions
pointa position in space represented by a dot
raya part of a line that has one endpoint and extends without end in one directions
segmenta part of a linet that consists of two endpoints and all the points between them
planea flat surface that extends without end in all directions
intersecting lineslines in a plane that meet at a point
parallel lineslines in the same plane that never meet
perpendicular linestwo lines on the same plane that meet at a right angle
anglea figure formed by two rays with the same endpoint
vertexthe endpoint of the rays that form the angle
right anglean angle whose measure is exactly 90 degrees
acute anglean angle whose measure is less than 90 degrees
obtuse anglean angle whose measure is between 90 and 180 degrees
straight anglean angle whose measure is exactly 180 degrees
vertical angleswhen two angles intersect, the angles are opposite each other
complimentary anglestwo angles whose measures have a sum of 90 degrees
supplementary anglestwo angles whose measures have a sum of 180 degrees

pentagonpolygon with five sides
hexagonpolygon with six sides
octagonpolygon with eight sides
congruent figuresfigures with the same size and shape
similar figuresfigures with same shape but not the same size
corresponding partsmatching sides and angles of two figures
line of symetryif a line can be drawn that divides the figure into two congruent parts that are mirror images of each other
