Definition

Two rays sharing a common endpoint.

[image]

Term
acute angle
Definition

An angle that has measure less than 90°.

[image]

Term
adjacent angles
Definition

Two angles in a plane which share a common vertex and a common side but do not overlap.

[image]

Term
area
Definition

The surface included within a closed figure, measured by the number of square units needed to cover the surface.

[image]

Term
between
Definition

Point B is points A and C if it is on the line segment connecting A and C.[image]

 

Term
bisector
Definition

A line segment, line, or plane that divides a geometric figure into two congruent halves.

[image]

Term
circumference
Definition

A complete circular arc. Also means the distance around the the outside of a circle.

[image]

Term
collinear
Definition

Lying on the same line.

[image]

Term
complementary
Definition

whatever size is necessary so that, if you stick them together, they make a 90 degree angle.

[image]

Term
concave polygon
Definition

if you can connect two vertices (the corners) of a polygon and have all or part of the line go OUTSIDE the polygon.

[image]

Term
cone
Definition

A three dimensional figure with a single base tapering to an apex. The base can be any simple closed curve.

[image]

Term
congruent
Definition

Exactly equal in size and shape.

[image]

Term
construction
Definition

An additional geometric figure that is constructed to assist in solving a problem or producing a proof.

[image]

Term
convex polygon
Definition

[image]

Term
coordinate
Definition

A pair of numbers that describe the position of a point.

[image]

Term
coplanar
Definition

Lying in the same plane. For example, any set of three points in space.

[image]

Term
cylinder
Definition

A three-dimensional geometric figure with parallel congruent bases. The bases can be shaped like any closed plane figure (not necessarily a circle) and must be oriented identically.

[image]

Term
degree
Definition

A unit of angle measure equal to of a complete revolution.

[image]

Term
diameter

edges
Definition

a line segment joining two adjacent vertices in a polygon.

[image]

Term
face
Definition

A planar surface of a solid figure.

 

Term
hypotenuse
Definition

The side of a right triangle opposite the right angle.

[image]

Term
line
Definition

The geometric figure formed by two points.

[image]

Term
linear pair
Definition

formed when two lines intersect.

[image]

Term
line segment
Definition
