VOCABULARY
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Adjacent Angles | Two angles that have the same vertex, share a common side, and do not overlap. |
| circumference | The distance around a circle. |
| Alternate Exterior | Non-Adjacent exterior angles found on opposite si9desof the traversal. |
| Alternate interior | Non-Adjacent exterior angles found on opposite sides of the traversal. |
| Congruent | line segments that have the same length,or angles that have the same measure or figures that have the same size and shape. |
| Diameter | Distance across a circle |
| Exterior angles | Four of the angles formed by the traversal and two parallel lines. Exterior angles lie outside the two parallel lines. |
| perpendicular lines | lines that intersect to form a right angle. |
| PI | The ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter of the circle. 3.14 |
| Radius | The distance from the center to any point on the circle. |
| Traversal | A line that intersects two parallel lines to form eight angles. |
| Trapezoid | A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. |
| Rhombus | A parallelogram with four congruent sides. |
| Parallelogram | A quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel and congruent. |
| complementary angles | Two angles are complementary if the sum of there measures are 90*. |
| supplementary Angles | Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measure is 180*. |
| corresponding Angles | Angles that have the same position on two different parallel lines. Cut by traversal. |
| Interior angles | Four of the angles formed by the traversal and two parallel lines. Interior angles lie between the two parallel lines. |
| parallel lines | Lines that don't intersect |
| polygon | A simple closed figure in a plane formed by three or more line segments. |
| Quadrilateral | closed figure with four sides and four vertices. including squares, rectangles, and trapezoids. |
| Rotation | A transformation where a figure is turned around a fixed point. Also called a turn. |
| Vertical angles | Two pairs of opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines. The angles formed are congruent. |
| Rectangle | A parallelogram with four right angles. |
| square | a parallelogram with all sides congruent and four right angles. |
