| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| acute angle | An angle with a measure greater than 0° and less than 90°. |
| adjacent angles | Angles that have the same vertex, share a common side, and do not overlap. |
| base | One of the two parallel congruent faces of a prism. |
| complementary angles | Two angles whose sum of their measures is 90°. |
| congruent | Having the same measure. |
| cross section | The shape we get when cutting straight through an object. |
| diagonal | A line segment that connects two nonconsecutive vertices. |
| edge | The line segment where two faces of a polyhedron intersect. |
| face | The flat surface of a polyhedron. |
| obtuse angle | Any angle that measures greater than 90° but less than 180°. |
| plane | A two-dimensional flat surface that extends in all directions. |
| polyhedron | A three-dimensional figure with faces that are polygons. |
| right angle | An angle that measures exactly 90°. |
| scale | The ratio that defines the relation between the measurements of a drawing or model to the measurements of the real object. |
| supplementary angles | Two angles whose sum of their measures is 180°. |
| vertex | The common endpoint of rays forming an angle, the point where three or more faces of a polyhedron intersect, or the point at the tip of a cone. |
| vertical angles | Opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines. These angles are congruent. |
