Term | Definition |
---|---|
acute angle | an angle with a measure less than 90 degrees |
obtuse angle | an angle with a measure between 90 and 180 degrees |
reflex angle | an angle with a measure between 180 and 360 degrees |
right angle | an angle with a measure of 90 degrees |
adjacent angles | two angles with a common side and vertex that do not overlap |
arc | a part of a circle between and including two endpoints on the circle; named by its endpoints |
pentagon | a 5-sided polygon |
regular polygon | a polygon in which all sides are the same length and all angles have the same measure |
center of a circle | the point in the plane of a circle equally distant from all points on the circle |
radius of a circle | a line segment from the center of a circle or sphere to any point on the circle or sphere; half of the diameter |
perimeter | the distance around the boundary of a 2-dimensional figure |
circumference | the perimeter of a cirlce |
diameter | a line segment that passes through the center of a circle or sphere and has endpoints on the circle or sphere |
equilateral triangle | a triangle with all three sides equal in length; all angles measure 60 degrees |
isosceles triangle | a triangle with at least two sides equal in length; angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent to each other |
scalene triangle | a triangle with sides of three different lengths and three different angles |
regular tessellation | a tessellation of one regular polygon |
tessellation | a pattern of shapes that covers a surface completely without overlaps or gaps |
vertical angles | the angles made by intersecting lines that do not share a common side; also called opposite angles; angles have equal measures |
straight angle | an angle with a measurement of 180 degrees |
congruent | figures having the same size and shape |
