| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| line of reflection | the line in which a figure is flipped when the figure undergoes a reflection |
| center of rotation | The point about which a figure is turned when a figure undergoes a rotation. |
| clockwise | Moving in the direction of the hands on a clock. |
| counterclockwise | Moving in the opposite direction to the hands on a clock. |
| congruence | ≅, figures that are exactly the same shape and size |
| dilations | To resize something. In general English it means to make larger., but in Mathematics it means to make larger or smaller. |
| image | a representation of the external form of a person or thing in art |
| exterior angle | The angle between any side of a shape, and a line extended from the next side. |
| interior angle | An angle inside a shape |
| alternate interior angles | When two lines are crossed by another line (which is called the Transversal), the pairs of angles, on opposite sides of the transversal, but inside the two lines |
| angle-angle criterion | when two pairs of corresponding angles of two triangles are equal, the triangles are similar. |
| deductive reasoning | A form of reasoning by which each conclusion follows from the previous one; an argument is built by conclusions that progress towards a final statement. |
| adacent | Lying next to each other. |
| complementary | Two Angles are _____________________ when they add up to 90 degrees (a Right Angle) . They don't have to be next to each other, just so long as the total is 90 degrees. |
| corresponding angles | When two lines are crossed by another line (which is called the Transversal), the angles that are in matching corners |
| legs | the two sides of a triangle that meet at a right angle |
| cone | a solid with one circular base |
| cylinder | A solid object with two congruent circular bases that lie in parallel planes |
| height | The vertical distance from top to bottom; |
| hypotenuse | the side of a right triangle that is opposite the right angle; It is also the longest side of the right-angled triangle |
