AB
Absolute valueA number's distance from zero (0) on a number line. The absolute value of both 4, written |4|, and negative 4, written |-4|, equals 4.
Acute AngleAn angle with a measure of less than 90 degrees.
Algebraic equationA mathematical sequence in which two expressions are connected by an equality symbol.
CircumferenceThe perimeter of a circle is called its circumference.
Algebraic order of operationsAn expression containing numbers and variables (e.g., 7x), and operations that involve numbers and variables (e.g., 2x + y or 3a - 4). Algebraic expressions do not contain equality or inequality symbols.
AngleThe shape made by two rays extending from a common end point, the vertex. Measures of angles are described using the degree system.
AreaThe inside region of a two-dimensional figure measured in square units (e.g., a rectangle with sides of 4 units by 6 units contains 24 square units or has an area 24 square units).
Complementary anglesTwo angles, the sum of which is exactly 90 degrees.
DiameterA line segment from any point on the circle passing through the center to another point on the circle.
Inverse operationAn action that cancels a previously applied action. For example, subtraction is the inverse operation of addition.
