VOCABULARY
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Adjacent Angles | Two angles that have the same vertex, share a common side, and do not overlap. |
circumference | The distance around a circle. |
Alternate Exterior | Non-Adjacent exterior angles found on opposite si9desof the traversal. |
Alternate interior | Non-Adjacent exterior angles found on opposite sides of the traversal. |
Congruent | line segments that have the same length,or angles that have the same measure or figures that have the same size and shape. |
Diameter | Distance across a circle |
Exterior angles | Four of the angles formed by the traversal and two parallel lines. Exterior angles lie outside the two parallel lines. |
perpendicular lines | lines that intersect to form a right angle. |
PI | The ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter of the circle. 3.14 |
Radius | The distance from the center to any point on the circle. |
Traversal | A line that intersects two parallel lines to form eight angles. |
Trapezoid | A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. |
Rhombus | A parallelogram with four congruent sides. |
Parallelogram | A quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel and congruent. |
complementary angles | Two angles are complementary if the sum of there measures are 90*. |
supplementary Angles | Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measure is 180*. |
corresponding Angles | Angles that have the same position on two different parallel lines. Cut by traversal. |
Interior angles | Four of the angles formed by the traversal and two parallel lines. Interior angles lie between the two parallel lines. |
parallel lines | Lines that don't intersect |
polygon | A simple closed figure in a plane formed by three or more line segments. |
Quadrilateral | closed figure with four sides and four vertices. including squares, rectangles, and trapezoids. |
Rotation | A transformation where a figure is turned around a fixed point. Also called a turn. |
Vertical angles | Two pairs of opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines. The angles formed are congruent. |
Rectangle | A parallelogram with four right angles. |
square | a parallelogram with all sides congruent and four right angles. |
