| line symmetry | One half of a figure is a mirror image of the other half. |
| obtuse angle | An angle whose measure is greater that 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. |
| obtuse triangle | A triangle containing one obtuse angle. |
| parallel lines | Lines in a plane that do not intersect. |
| parallelogram | A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. |

| rise | The vertical change when,the slope of a line is expressed as the ratio rise/run, or "rise over run". |
| rotation | A transformation in which a figure is turned around a point. |
| rotational symmetry | When a figure can be rotated less than 360 degrees around a central point and coincides with the original figure. |
| run | The horizontal change when,the slope of a line is expressed as the ratio rise/run, or "rise over run". |
