equiangular triangle a triangle whose 3 angles are equal
right triangle a triangle with one angle of 90 degrees
obtuse triangle a triangle with an angle of more than 90 degrees
hypotenuse the side opposite the right angle in a right triangle
base of an isosceles triangle the side of an isosceles triangle that is not the legs (the two sides that are congruent)
base angles of an isosceles triangle the two congruent angles on an isosceles triangle

centroid of a triangle the point of concurrency of the three medians of a triangle
altitude of a triangle the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side or to the line that contains the opposite side
orthocenter of a triangle the point of concurrency of the three altitude lines

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
