| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Polygon | a flat, closed two-dimensional shape made entirely of straight line segments connected end-to-end |
| Vertex | a point where two or more straight lines, line segments, edges, or rays meet |
| Quadrilateral | a four-sided figure. |
| Regular Polygon | a flat, closed shape made with straight lines. It must have sides that are all the same length. It must also have inside angles that are all the exact same size. |
| Equilateral Triangle | a shape with three sides of the same length and three equal angles that each measure 60 degrees |
| Isosceles Triangle | a shape with two sides of the same length and two angles of the same size. |
| Scalene Triangle | a shape with three sides. All three sides have different lengths. All three angles have different sizes. No sides or angles are the same |
| Acute Triangle | All 3 angles are acute within the triangle |
| Right Triangle | There is 1 right angle and 2 acute angles within the triangle |
| Obtuse Triangle | There is 1 obtuse angle and 2 acute angles within the triangle |
| Acute Angle | An angle that measures less than 90 degrees |
| Right Angle | An angle that measures exactly 90 degrees |
| Obtuse Angle | An angle that measures more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees |
| Straight Angle | An angle that measures exactly 180 degrees |
| Trapezoid | a flat, four-sided shape (a quadrilateral) that has one pair of parallel sides. |
| Parallelogram | a flat shape with four straight sides. It is a special type of four-sided shape (a quadrilateral) where the opposite sides are parallel and equal in length |
| Rhombus | is a four-sided, two-dimensional shape (a quadrilateral) where all four sides are the same length. It looks like a tilted square or a diamond shape. It still has equal sides, but the angles aren’t all right angles. |
| Rectangle | is a flat, two-dimensional (2D) shape with: Four sides Four right angles (each angle measures 90°) Opposite sides that are equal in length and paralle |
| Square | is a flat shape (polygon) that has four equal sides and four equal angles. Each angle in a square is a right angle (90°). |
