| a triangle with 3 angles less than 90 degrees | acute triangle |
| two angles that have a common side and a common vertex but do not overlap. The angles are next to each other | adjacent angles |
| the amount of space occupied by a two dimensional figure | area |
| a special pair of angles formed when a transversal intersects two lines. They occur on the same side of the transversal and are in the same side of each of the lines. | corresponding angles |
| sides or angles of SIMILAR polygons that occupy the same relative positions | corresponding parts |
| one of three equal factors of a number | cube root |
| the numbers used to count. Also called natural numbers | counting numbers |
| the variable in an equation whose value is determined by the value chosen for on or more other variables. | dependent variable |
| A triangle in which all sides and angles are the SAME length | equilateral triangle |
| a mathematical rule that identifies a relationship between two sets . Each input produces only one output. | function |
| a triangle with at least two sides of equal length and at least two angles are also equal. | isosceles triangle |
| a variable in an equation show value can be freely chosen | independent variable |
| the set of outputs of a function (the y value) | range |
| A triangle whose largest angles measures between 90 and 180 | obtuse triangle |
| Lines in the same plane that do not intersect. They remain the same distance apart. | parallel lines |
| the number that represents the slant of the graphed line. THe ration of the rise to the run between any two points on the graph. | slope |
| a round geometric surface whose points are all equal equal distance from its center. | sphere |
| one of two equal factors of a number | square root |
| An angle that measures 180 and thus forms a straight line. | straight angle |
| transversal | a line that intersects one or more other lines in a plane. |
| The amount of space a solid shape occupies. | volume |
| the members of the set (0, 1,2,3,4,.........._ | whole numbers |
| the horizontal number line of a coordinate plane | x axis |
| the vertical number line of a coordinate plane | y axis |
| figures that have the exact same size and shape | congruent |
| The longest side of a right triangle. The side opposite the right angle. | hypotenuse |
| A number that CANNOT be expressed as a ration (a fraction) | irrational number |
| whole numbers and their opposites | integer |
| the two sides of a right triangle that intersect to make the right angle. | legs of a right triangle |
| a pair of adjacent(next to each other) supplementary (makes 180 degrees) angles. | linear pair |
| angles that measure greater than 90 and less than 180. | obtuse angles |
| the square of the hypotenuse in a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. | Pythagorean Theorem |
| numbers that can be expressed as fractions | rational number |
| includes rational AND irrational numbers | real numbers |
| a triangle in which two sides are perpendicular forming a RIGHT angle | right triangle |
| a triangle with no equal sides or angles | scalene triangle |
| a method of writing a number as a product of a decimal number between 1 and 10 to a power of 10 | scientific notation s |
| two angles that are adjacent and equal 180 degrees | supplementary angles |
| angles that are opposite and congruent | vertical angles |
