Supplementary Angles When the sum of 2 angles = 180°, they are called supplementary angles
Units for Angles Degrees, radians
Area Measurement of the amount of surface of an object
Sector The plane figure enclosed by two radii of a circle and the arc between them.
Polygon A polygon is an enclosed shape made up of straight lines.
Regular Polygon A regular polygon has all its sides and angles equal.
Apothem The line joining the center of a regular polygon to the mid point of any of its sides
