| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Area | The measure of the interior surface of a two-dimensional figure. |
| Center | The point from which all points on a circle are the same distance. |
| Circle | The set of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point called the center |
| Circumference | The distance around a circle. |
| Composite Solid | An object made up of more than one solid. |
| Cone | A three-dimensional figure with one circular base connected by a curved surface to a single point. |
| Cylinder | A three dimensional figure with two parallel congruent circular bases connected by a curved surface. |
| Diameter | The distance across a circle through it's center. |
| Face | A flat surface of a polyhedron. |
| Hemisphere | One of two congruent halves of a sphere. |
| Lateral Face | In a polyhedron, a face that is not a base. |
| Pi | The ratio of the circumference of a circle to it's diameter. The Greek letter p represents this number. The value of pi are 3.14415926... Approximations for pi are 3.14 and 22/7. |
| Prism | A polyhedron with two parallel congruent faces called bases. |
| Pyramid | A polyhedron with one base that is a polygon and three or more triangular faces that meet at a common vertex. |
| Radius | The distance from the center of a circle to any point on the circle. |
| Regular Pyramid | A pyramid whose base is a regular polygon and in which the segment from the vertex to the center of the base is called the altitude. |
| Semicircle | Half of a circle. The formula for the area of a semicircle is A=1/2 (pi) (r)^2. |
| Slant Height | The height of each lateral face. |
| Sphere | The set of all points in space that are given distance from a given point called the center. |
| Surface Area | The sum of the areas of all the surfaces (faces) of a three-dimensional figure. |
| Volume | The measure of the space occupied by a solid. Standard units of a measure are cubic units such as in^3 or feet^3 |
