| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| angle | a figure formed by two rays or line segments that share an ednpoint |
| circle | a closed figure made up of points that are the same distance from the center |
| polygon | a closed place figure with straight sides that are line segments - must have more than 2 sides |
| plane | a flat surface that continues without end in all directions |
| endpoint | the points at either end of the line segment, and all the points between them |
| dimension | is a measurement along a straight line of length, width, or height of a figure |
| Triangle | a closed, three-sided figure with 3 vertices, 3 acute angles |
| point | names an exact location in space |
| line segment | is part of a line, it has two endpoints, the points at either end of the line segment, and all of the points between them |
| line | is a straight path of points that continues without end in both directions with no endpoints |
| ray | is part of a line that has one endpoint and continues without end in one direction |
| one-dimensional | is a measure in only one direction, such as length |
| two-dimensional | is a measure in two directions, such as length and width |
| vertex | when two rays with the same endpoint meet to form an angle - the shared endpoint is a vertex |
| vertices | more than one vertex |
| right angle | measures 90 degrees |
| acute angle | an angle that measures less than a right angle (90 degrees) |
| obtuse angle | an angle with a measure greater than a right angle |
| degree | the unit used to measure angles |
| angle | when two rays with the same endpoint meet |
