Question | Answer |
A figure formed by two rays or line segments with a common endpoint. The rays or line segmanets are called "sides." | Angle |
The common endpoint in an angle | Vertex |
Has a measure greater than 0 and less than 90 | Acute Angle |
Has a measure of 90 | Right Angle |
Has a measure of 180 | Straight Angle |
Has a measure greater than 180 but less than 360 | Reflex Angle |
Has a measure greater than 90 but less than 180 | obtuse Angle |
Two angles whose measures total 90 | Complementary Angles |
Opposite angles that are equal in measure. When two lines intersect, the angles that do not share a common side | Vertical Angles |
A line that crosses two or more lines. | Transversal |
Two angles whose measures total 180 | Supplementary Angles |
Angles that are next to each other. Adjacent angles have a common vertex and share a common side. | Adjacent Angles |
Having the dame size and shape | Congruent |
Having the same relative position in similar or congruent figures | Corresponding Angles or Sides |
The angles of a 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional figure | Interior Angles |
The outside angles of a 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional figure | Exterior Angles |
Something done to a figure that produces a new figure (translation, reflection, or rotation) | Transformation |
The ORIGINAL geometric figure that is changes (by a reflection, rotation, or translation) to produce another figure. | Pre-Image |
A NEW figure that is produced by a transformation of another image | Image |
"Turning" a figure around a fixed point | Rotation |
The "flipping" of a figure over a line. | Reflection |
"Sliding" a figure a certain distance | Translation |
Two lines that never meet, no matter how far they are extended | Parallel Lines |
Two Lines that cross or meet at a right angle | Perpendicular Lines |
A line that divides a segment, angle, or figure into two equal parts. | Bisector |
A point halfway between two points | Midpoint |
