2-D Shapes
Term | Definition |
---|---|
plane shapes | a flat shape that can be measured in 2 dimensions, length and width. |
attributes | Properties of plane shapes that can be used to sort the shapes into categories. *number of sides *length of sides *parallel lines *angles |
Right angle | An angle measure equal to 90° (Noted on geometric figures by a box in the corner that is 90°) |
Parallel lines | Two lines that are always an equal distance apart |
Perpendicular lines | Two lines that intersect at a 90° angle |
categories | a label for shapes that have the same attributes |
Polygon | a closed plane figure made of 3 or more line segments, called sides, that have endpoints that intersect to form vertices |
quadrilateral | a polygon with 4 sides |
trapezoid | a quadrilateral with at least 1 pair of parallel sides |
parallelogram | a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides |
rhombus | a parallelogram with four sides of equal length |
rectangle | a parallelogram with 4 right angles |
square | a rhombus that is also a rectangle with 4 sides of equal length and 4 right angles |
line of symmetry | a line across a figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts |
