Coordinates, Area, Volume, and Capacity

TermDefinition
area the amount of surface inside a 2-dimensional figure with closed boundaries
axes two intersecting number lines used to form a coordinate grid
base of a rectangle the length of a side of a rectangle
base of a prism or cylinder either of the two parallel and congruent rectangular faces that define the shape
capacity the amount of space occupied by a 3-dimensional figure, same as volume
volume the amount of space occupied by a 3-dimensional figure, same as capacity
coordinate one of the numbers in an ordered pair that located a point on a coordinate grid
coordinate grid the grid formed by two number lines intersecting at right angles, used to find points on a plane with ordered number pairs
cubic centimeter a metric unit of volume or capacity equal to the volume of a cube with 1-centimeter edges
cubic unit any cube used to measure volume
cup A U.S. customary unit of volume or capacity, equal to 8 fluid ounces of 1/2 pint
face a 2-dimensional surface on a 3-dimensional shape
formula a general rule for finding the value of something
height perpendicular distance from base to top
latitude a degree measure locating a place on Earth north or south of the equator; lines that run east and west around the globe
longitude a degree measure locating a place on Earth east or west of the prime meridian; lines that run north and south around the globe
ordered number pair two numbers, or coordinates, used to locate a point on a coordinate grid
liter a metric unit of volume or capacity equal to the volume of a cube with 10-centimeter long edges
origin zero on a number line or coordinate grid
perpendicular two lines or planes that intersect at right angles
prism a 3-dimensional figure with two parallel and congruent bases that give the prism its name, along with lateral rectangular faces
quart a U.S. customary unit of volume or capacity equal to 32 fluid ounces, 2 points, or 4 cups
rectangle method a strategy for finding the area of a polygon in which one or more rectangles are drawn around all of parts of the polygon through its vertices
reflection a transformation in which the image of a figure is a mirror image of the figure over a line of reflection (flip)
translation a transformation in which every point in the image of a figure is at the same distance in the same direction from its corresponding point in the figure (slide)
square unit a unit to measure area
variable a letter or other symbol that represents a number
apex the vertex opposite of the base; in a pyramid or a cone
base of a pyramid or cone the face that is opposite the apex
calibrate to divide or mark a measuring tool with units to measure
cone a 3-dimensional figure with a circular base and an apex
cylinder a 3-dimensional figure with two congruent, parallel circular bases and a curved face
edge a line segment or curve where two surfaces of a geometric solid meet
geometric solid the surface(s) that make up a 3-dimensional figure; does not include the interior
polyhedron any 3-dimensional solid that is formed by a polygon
pyramid a 3-dimensional figure made up of any polygonal region for a base and an apex
sphere the shell of a 3-dimensional figure created by a set of points that are an equal distance from a fixed point called the center
surface the top or outside of something
surface area the area of the surface of a 3-dimensional figure; the sum of the area of all faces
vertex the point where rays or line segments meet

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
