| acute angle | an angle with a measure greater that 0 degrees and less than 90 |

| congruent | line segments that have the same length, or angles that have the same measure, or figures that have the same size and shape |
| converse | the statement formed by reversing the phrases if and then in an if-then statement |
| Distance Formula | the distance between two points with coordinates (x1, y) and (x2, y2) |
| Equilateral Triangle | a triangle with all sides congruent |
| hypotenuse | the side opposite the right angle in a right triangle |
| irrational numbers | a number that cannot be expressed as a/b where a and be are integers and b does not equal zero (these numbers just don't make sense) |
| isosceles triangle | a triangle that has at least two congruent sides |
| legs | the sides that are adjacent to the right angle of a right triangle |
| line segment | part of a line containing two endpoints and all the endpoints between them |
| obtuse triangle | a triangle with one obtuse angle |
| obtuse triangle | a triangle with one angle greater than 90 degrees |
| perfect square | rational numbers whose square roots are whole numbers |

| radical sign | the symbol used to indicate a nonnegative square root |
| real numbers | the set of rational numbers together with the set of irrational numbers |
| scalene triangle | a triangle with no congruent sides |
| similar figure | figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size |
| solve a right triangle | using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side of a triangle, if the lengths of the other two sides are known |
| square root | one of the two equal factors of a number |
| straight angle | an angle with a measure equal to 180 degrees |
| triangle | a figure having three sides |
| vertex | the common endpoint of the rays forming an angle |
