RIGHT ANGLE |
This is an angle that forms a square corner.
|
|
POLYGONS
|
A polygon is a simple, closed figure with straight sides. The number of angles is the same as the number of sides.
|
|
SIMILAR
|
Figures that have the same shape but are different sizes.
|
|
A POINT |
A point is an exact location in space. |
|
ANGLE
|
An angle is formed by two rays that start at the same endpoint. They are measured in degrees using a protractor.The rays are the sides of the angle. The endpoint is its vertex.
|
|
SPACE FIGURES
|
They are three-dimensional geometric figures. they can have different numbers of flat surfaces called faces, and edges (lines), and vertices (angles).
|
|
FLIP
|
An imaginary line acts like a mirror for the figure. The figure is flipped like a page in a book. It can also be flipped to the left or up or down.
|
|
A LINE |
A line is also a straight figure, but it has no endpoints
|
|
CONGRUENT
|
These are figures that are the same shape and size
|
|
INTERSECTING LINES |
These are lines that cross each other.
|
|
TURN
|
Turn a figure around a point. The point acts like a pin when the figure is turned. The figure is turned around one of its corners.
|
|
LINE SEGMENT |
It is a straight figure with two endpoints. |
|
LINE OF SYMMETRY
|
The fold line on aplane figure is a line of symmetry.
|
|
A RAY |
A ray is a straight figure. It has one endpoint. It goes on forever in just one direction.
|
|
STRAIGHT ANGLE
|
When two right angles are put together, they form a straight angle. It measures exactly 180 degrees.
|
|
PARALLEL LINES |
These are lines in the same plane that never intersect.
|
|
ACUTE ANGLE
|
Less than 90 degrees
|
|
A PLANE
|
A plane is a flat surface that goes on and on in all directions. Shapes drawn on a plane are called plane figures. Plane figures can be open like an angle or closed like a circle or polygons
|
|
OBTUSE ANGLE
|
Greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
|
|
A REGULAR POLYGON |
A regular polygon has all sides the same length and all angles the same measure.
|
|
PERPENDICULAR LINES |
These are intersecting lines that form right angles are called perpendicular lines
|
|
SLIDE
|
Geometric figures can move in special ways. You can slide a figure across a line. The figure looks the same but is in a different place on the paper.
|
|
SYMMETRIC FIGURE
|
A figure that can be folded so that its two parts match exactly.
