Term
Definition
base of a solid figure   a base of a solid figure is usually thought of as a face upon which it can sit; most solid figures have more than one base  
🗑
plane   a flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions  
🗑
y-coordinate   in an ordered pair, the value that is always written second  
🗑
congruent   having exactly the same size and shape  
🗑
y-axis   in a coordinate plane, the vertical axis  
🗑
line of symmetry   a line that divides a figure into two congruent halves that are mirror images of each other  
🗑
obtuse angle   an angle between 90° and 180°  
🗑
partition   splitting shapes or numbers into smaller shares  
🗑
quadrilateral   a four sided polygon  
🗑
ray   a part of a line that has one endpoint and goes on forever in one direction  
🗑
angle measurement   the measure of the size of an angle  
🗑
x-axis   in a coordinate plane, the horizontal axis  
🗑
x-coordinate   in an ordered pair, the value that is always written first  
🗑
protractor   a tool used to measure and draw angles  
🗑
endpoint   a point at either end of a line segment, or a point at one end of a ray  
🗑
ordered pairs   a pair of numbers that gives the coordinates of a point on a grid (horizontal coordinate, vertical coordinate)  
🗑
right rectangular prism   a prism with six rectangular faces where the lateral edge is perpendicular to the plane of the base  
🗑
origin   the intersection of the x- and y-axes in a coordinate plane, described by the ordered pair (0,0)  
🗑
coordinate system   2-dimensional system in which the coordinates of a point are its distances from two intersecting , usually perpendicular, straight lines called axes  
🗑
classify   to sort into categories or arrange into groups by attributes  
🗑
coordinates   an ordered pair of numbers that identify a point on a coordinate plane  
🗑
side of a polygon   any of the line segments that form a polygon  
🗑
line   a set of connected points continuing without an end in both directions  
🗑
intersecting lines   lines that cross at a point  
🗑
attribute   a characteristics of an object, such at color, shape, size, etc.  
🗑
circular arc   part of a circle between any two of its points  
🗑
coordinate plane   a 2-dimensional system in which the coordinates of a point are its distances from two intersecting usually perpendicular, straight lines called axes (also called a grid)  
🗑
angle   two lines that meet at a common point  
🗑
acute angle   an angle less than 90° but more than 0°  
🗑
perpendicular lines   two intersecting lines that form right angles  
🗑
right angle   a 90° angle, such as the corner of a square  
🗑
arc   part of a circle between any two of its points  
🗑
solid figure   a geometric figure with three dimensions  
🗑
tiling   a pattern of shapes repeated to fill a plane, the shapes do not overlap and there are no gaps  
🗑
circle   a figure with no sides an no vertices  
🗑
right triangle   a triangle that has one 90° angle  
🗑
quadrants   the four sections of a coordinate grid that are separated by the axes  
🗑
vertex   a point at which two or more sides of a geometric figure meet  
🗑
parallel lines   lines that are always the same distance apart  
🗑
degree   a unit for measuring angles, based on dividing a circle by 360  
🗑
