| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| straight angle | An angle that measures exactly 180 ° |
| vertical angles | Opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines. Vertical angles are congruent. |
| vertex | The point where three or more faces of a polyhedron intersect. |
| adjacent angles | Angles that have the same vertex, share a common side, and do not overlap. |
| alternate exterior angles | Exterior angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal |
| alternate interior angles | Interior angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal. |
| base | One of the two parallel congruent faces of a prism. |
| complementary angles | Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°. |
| pyramid | A polyhedron with one base that is a polygon and three or more triangular faces that meet at a common vertex. |
| plane | A two-dimensional flat surface that extends in all directions. |
| cross section | The intersection of a solid and plane. |
| scale | The scale that gives the ratio that compares the measurements of a drawing or model to the measurements of |
| scale drawing | A drawing that is used to represent objects that are too large or too small to be drawn at actual size. |
| face | A flat surface of a polyhedron. |
| interior angles | The four inside angles formed by two lines cut by a transversal. |
| line segment | Part of a line containing two endpoints and all of the points between them. |
| cone | A three-dimensional figure with one circular base connected by a curved surface to a single point. |
| congruent | Having the same measure; if one image can be obtained from another by a sequence of rotations, reflections, or translations. |
| corresponding angles | Angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines in relation to a transversal. |
| cross section | The intersection of a solid and plane. |
| cylinder | A three-dimensional figure with two parallel congruent circular bases connected by a curved surface. |
| edge | The line segment where two faces of a polyhedron intersect. |
| exterior angles | The four outer angles formed by two lines cut by a transversal. |
| parallel lines | Lines in the same plane that never intersect or cross. The symbol || means parallel. |
| perpendicular lines | Two lines that intersect to form right angles. |
| polyhedron | A three-dimensional figure with faces that are polygons. |
| prism | A polyhedron with two parallel congruent faces called bases. |
| remote interior angles | The angles of a triangle that are not adjacent to a given exterior angle. |
| supplementary angles | Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180°. |
| scalene triangle | A triangle having no congruent sides. |
| transversal | A line that intersects two or more other lines. |
| scale factor | The ratio of the lengths of two corresponding sides of two similar polygons. |
| scale model | A model used to represent objects that are too large or too small to be built at actual size. |
| triangle | A figure with three sides and three angles. |
| vertices | Plural of vertex. |
| zero angle | An angle that measures exactly 0 degrees. |
