---|---|---|---|---|---|
isosceles triangle | A triangle with at least two side lengths and angle measures that are equal.
🗑
|
||||
adjacent angles | two angles that share a vertex and side.
🗑
|
||||
opposite angles | angles that are "opposite" each other. These types of angles are congruent.
🗑
|
||||
scalene triangle | a triangle with no sides or angles of equal measure.
🗑
|
||||
obtuse triangle | a triangle with one obtuse angle.
🗑
|
||||
right triangle | a triangle with one right angle.
🗑
|
||||
exterior angle | an angle on the outside of a polygon after you extend one of its sides.
🗑
|
||||
interior angle | an angle on the inside of a polygon.
🗑
|
||||
reflex angle | an angle whose measure is greater than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees.
🗑
|
||||
rectangle | a parallelogram with all right angles
🗑
|
||||
rhombus | a parallelogram with all equal side lengths
🗑
|
||||
parallelogram | opposite side lengths are parallel; opposite angles and sides are congruent.
🗑
|
||||
rotation symmetry | a shape has this symmetry if it can be rotated less than a full turn and it looks exactly as it did before it was rotated.
🗑
|
||||
reflection symmetry | a shape with reflection symmetry has two halves that are mirror images of each other after drawing a line of symmetry through it.
🗑
|
||||
angle sum | the sum of all the measures of the interior angles of a polygon.
🗑

🗑
|
||||
(n X 180 degrees) - 360 degrees | formula to find the interior angle sum of a polygon.
🗑
|
||||
360 degrees | the exterior angle sum of any polygon, irregular or regular. Also is the interior angle sum of any quadrilateral.
🗑
|
||||
regular polygon | a polygon whose side lengths are congruent, and whose interior and exterior angles are all congruent.
🗑
|
||||
How to build a triangle | The sum of the two smaller sides must be greater than the third (longest) side.
🗑
|
||||
How to build a quadrilateral | The sum of the three smaller sides must be greater than the fourth (longest) side.
🗑
|
||||
180 degrees | Sum of angles that create a straight angle, or the interior angle sum of a triangle.
🗑
|
||||
acute triangle | triangle with all acute angles
🗑
|
||||
equilateral triangle | triangle with all side lengths and angle measures being congruent
🗑
