| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| adjacent angles | pairs of angles that share a common vertex and a common side (ray) but do not overlap or share any interior points |
| alt. ext. angles | a pair of angles on the outer side of two lines cut by a transversal, situated on opposite (alternate) sides of that transversal |
| alt. int. angles | pairs of angles on opposite sides of a transversal line that intersects two coplanar lines, lying inside (between) those two lines |
| bases | the foundation number of a positional numeral system, representing the number of unique digits (including zero) used to represent numbers |
| complementary angles | two angles whose measures sum to exactly 90 degrees, forming a right angle |
| cone | a 3D geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat, usually circular, base to a single point called the apex or vertex |
| congruent | identical in both shape and size |
| corresponding angles | pairs of angles in matching corners formed when a transversal line intersects two other lines |
| cross section | the 2D shape revealed by slicing through a 3D object with a flat plane |
| cylinder | a three-dimensional solid shape featuring two parallel, identical, and congruent circular bases connected by a curved surface |
| edge | a line segment that connects two vertices (corner points) in a geometric shape or graph |
| ext. angles | formed outside a polygon by extending one of its sides |
| face | a flat or curved surface that makes up one of the sides of a 3D solid figure |
| int. angles | angles located inside a polygon at each vertex, formed between two adjacent sides, or within the area between two parallel lines intersected by a transversal |
| line segment | a straight path that connects two specific, fixed endpoints, representing a finite part of a line |
| parallel lines | distinct coplanar lines—lines lying on the same flat surface—that never intersect or cross, regardless of how far they are extended in either direction |
| perpendicular lines | straight lines that intersect or meet at a exact right angle |
| plane | a flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions |
| polyhedron | a three-dimensional solid figure with flat faces, straight edges, and sharp vertices (corners) |
| prism | a 3D solid figure with two identical, parallel bases (top and bottom) connected by flat, rectangular (or parallelogram) sides |
| pyramid | a 3D solid figure with a polygon base and triangular side faces that meet at a single point, called the apex |
| remote int. angles | the two interior angles of a triangle that are not adjacent (not touching) to a specific exterior angle |
| scale | the ratio that defines the proportional relationship between a representation (drawing, model, map) and the actual object's size |
| scale drawings | a two-dimensional, proportional representation of an object or place, reduced or enlarged from the original size using a specific ratio called a scale factor |
| scale factor | a ratio that defines how much a geometric figure or shape is enlarged or reduced in size |
| scale model | a 3D representation of an object that maintains its original shape and proportions while altering its dimensions (length, width, height) by a consistent ratio, known as the scale factor |
| scalene triangle | a triangle where all three sides have different lengths, and consequently, all three interior angles have different measures |
| straight angle | a geometric angle that measures exactly 180 degrees |
| supplementary angles | pairs of angles that add up to exactly 180 degrees |
| transversal | a line that passes through two or more other lines (usually parallel) at distinct points |
| triangle | a two-dimensional polygon with three straight sides, three vertices, and three interior angles |
| vertex | a specific point where two or more lines, rays, line segments, or edges meet |
| vertical angles | pairs of opposite angles formed by two intersecting straight lines |
| vertices | a specific point where two or more lines, rays, line segments, or edges meet |
| zero angle | a geometric angle that measures exactly zero degrees or 0 radians |
