Geometry
For math
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Circumference | C=2pi r or C=pi d |
| Pi | ≈3.14 or ≈22/7 |
| Triangle | Polygons with three sides, three angles, three vertices |
| Equilateral | All sides congruent |
| Isoscles | At lest two side congruent |
| Scalene | No sides congruent |
| Equangular | All angles congruent |
| Point | A geometric object that has no dimensions, only a location |
| Plane | at surface that extends endlessly in all directions; two dimentional |
| Space | the set of all points;three dimentional |
| Line | A set of points along a straight path having no endpoints |
| Line segment | Pair of a line that has two endpoints |
| Ray | Part of a line that only has one endpoint |
| Angle | two rays jointed together with a common endpoint; the two rays are called the sides of an angle |
| Vertex | The common endpoint for an angle |
| Intersecting lines | Lines that have just one point in common |
| Supplementary angles | Two angles whose measure adds up to 180 degrees; any two right angles are supplementary |
| Complementary angles | Two angles whose measure adds up to 90 degrees |
| Transversal | A line that intersects two other lines |
| Adjacent angles | Two angles that share a side ( or ray ) and a vetex |
| Skew lines | Lines that are not in the same plane and do not intersect |
| Equilateral polygon | All sides congruent |
| Equiangular Polygon | All angles congruent |
| Parallelogram | Quadrilaterral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel |
| Corresponding angles | Two lines intersected by a transversal form corresponding pairs of angles; if the lines are parallel the corresponding pairs of angles are congruent |
| n- gon | 180(n-2) |
| area of a circle | A=pi r² |
| square root | ex.square root of 81=9 |
| square | ex. 9 squared or 9² 81 |
