A segment has two endpoints and all the points of the line between the endpoints.
|
blank
|
|
|
A ray consists of one endpoint and all the points of a line on one side of the endpoint.
|
blank
|
|
|

|
An angle has two sides and a vertex. The sides are rays.
|
blank

Angles are measured in units called degrees.
|
blank
|
|
|
You use a protractor to find the measure of an angle.
|
blank
|
|
|
An acute angle measures less than 90 degrees.
|
blank
|
|
|
A right angle measures 90 degrees.
|
blank
|
|
|
An obtuse angle measures between 90 and 180 degrees.
|
blank
|
|
|
A straight angle measures 180 degrees.
|
blank
|
|
|
Lines that intersect to form right angles are called perpendicular lines.
|
blank
|
|
|
Angles are complimentary if the sum of the measures of two angles is 90 degrees.
|
blank
|
|
|
Angles are supplementary if the sum of the measures of two angles is 180 degrees.
|
blank
|
|
|
Vertical angles are formed by two intersecting lines.
|
blank
|
|
|
Congruent angles are angles with equal measures.. Congruent means equal.
|
blank
|
|
|
A trasversal crosses two or more lines at different points.
|
blank
|
|
|
Interior angles are on either side of a transversal between a pair of lines.
|
blank
|
|
|
Exterior angles are on either side of a transversal outside of a pair of lines.
|
blank
|
|
|
A triangle is a closed figure with three sides.
|
blank
|
|
|
An acute triangle has three acute angles.
|
blank
|
|
|
An obtuse triangle has one obtuse angle.
|
blank
|
|
|
A right triangle has one right angle.
|
blank
|
|
|
Segments that have the same length are congruent segments.
|
blank
|
|
|
An equilateral triangle has three congruent sides (all the sides are equal in length).
|
blank
|
|
|
An isosceles triangle has at least two congruent sides.
|
blank
|
|
|
A scalene triangle has no congruent sides.
|
blank
|
|
|
A polygon is a closed figure that has three or more line segments that do not cross.
|
blank
|
|
|
A triangle is a polygon with three sides.
|
blank
|
|
|
A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides.
|
blank
|
|

A pentagon is a polygon with five sides.
|
blank
|
|
|
A hexagon is a polygon with six sides.
|
blank
|
|
|
An octagon is a polygon with eight sides.
|
blank
|
|
|
A decagon is a polygon with ten sides.
|
blank
|
|
|
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel lines.
|
blank
|
|
|
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel lines.
|
blank
|
|
|
There are three special types of parallelograms -- a rectangle, a rhombus and a square.
|
blank
|
|
|
A rectangle is a parallelogram that has four right angles.
|
blank
|
|
|
A rhombus is a parallelogram that has four congruent sides. Congruent means equal.
|
blank
|
|
|
A square is a parallelogram that has four right angles and four congruent sides. Congruent means equal.
|
blank
|
|
|
Congruent figures have the same size and shape. They have congruent corresponding sides and congruent corresponding angles.
|
blank
|
|
|
Similar figures have the same shape, but not necessarily the same size.
|
blank
|
|
|
A figure is line symmetry if a line can be drawn thru the figure so that each half is a mirror image of the other.
|
blank
|
|
|
The line drawn thru the figure is called the line of symmetry.
|
blank
|
|
|
A transformation of a figure is a change in its position, shape or size.
|
blank
|
|
|
The new figure is the image of the original.
|
blank
|
|
|
A translation, or slide, is a transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance and in the same direction.
|
blank
|
|
|
A reflection, or flip, is a transformation that flips a figure over a line.
|
blank
|
|
|
This line is the line of reflection.
|
blank
|
|
|
The new figure is a mirror image of the orginal.
|
blank
|
|
|
A rotation, or turn, is a transformation that turns a figure about a point.
|
blank
|
|
|
This point stays fixed and is called the center of rotation.
|
blank
|
|
|
Translations and reflections are alike because the figures stay the same size and shape.
|
blank
|
|
|
Translations and reflections are different because in a translation the object's orientation does not change, while in a reflection its orientation is reversed.
