Adjacent Angles Two angles that share a common side and have the same vertex.
Congruent Angles Angles that have the same measure.
Vertical Angles Opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines. Vertical angles are congruent.
Complementary Angles Two or more angles with a sum of 90 degrees.
Supplementary Angles Two or more angles with a sum of 180 degrees.
Perpendicular Lines Lines that intersect to form right angles.
Parallel Lines Lines in the same plane that do not intersect.
Transversal A line that intersect two or more lines.
Scalene Triangle A triangle with no congruent lines.
Isosceles Triangle A triangle with exactly two congruent sides.
Equilateral Triangle A triangle in which all sides are congruent.
Acute Triangle A triangle in which all angles are acute.
Obtuse Triangle A triangle that has exactly one obtuse angle.
Right Triangle A triangle that has exactly one right angle.
Parallelogram A quadrilateral with two pairs of congruent parallel sides. Opposite angels are congruent.
Rectangle A parallelogram with four right angels.

Scale Drawing A proportional, two-dimensional object that accurately represents an actual object.
Scale Model A proportional, three-dimensional object that accurately represents an actual object.
Scale A ratio that compares the measurements of the drawing or model to the actual measurements of an object.
Scale Factor A scale without units (A scale can be written without units when the units are the same.)
Acute Angle An angle with a measurement less than 90 degrees.
Right Angle An angle with a measurement of exactly 90 degrees.

Straight Angle An angle with a measure of exactly 180 degrees.
Point An exact location. It is the building block of geometry.
Line A series of points with no end.
Plane A perfectly flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions.
Ray Part of a line with only one endpoint that extends without end in one direction.

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.
