AB
angleFormed by 2 rays with a common endpoint
acute anglemeasures less than 90°
right anglemeasures 90°
obtuse anglemeasures between 90° and 180°
straight anglemeasures 180°
complementary anglesadd up to 90°
supplementary anglesadd up to 180°
congruent angleshave the same measure
parallel lineslines in a plane that never meet
right anglesFormed by perpendicular lines, rays and segments
rhombusQuadrilateral with all sides congruent.
trapezoidquadrilateral with 1 pair of parallel sides
Angles of a triangle total180°
Angles of a quadrilateral total360°
regular polygonsSides and angles congruent
Area of a rectanglebase (length) x height (width): A = bh
perimeter of a figureDistance around perimeter's edge
perfect squareSquare of a whole number
square root of a numberlength of the side of square whose area is that number
Hypotenuse of a right triangleSide opposite the right angle. Other sides called the legs.
Pythagorean TheoremSays: sum of squares of lengths of legs of a right triangle = square of length of hypotenuse
triangle's areaHalf the product of the triangle's base length + height: A = 1/2bh
area of parallelogramproduct of length of base + height: A = bh
area of trapezoidhalf length x sum of lengths of bases: A = 1/2h(b1 + b2)
