angle vocabulary Flashcards
When lines intersect they form angles and angles are the spaces of shapes that are formed between the two intersecting lines they meet at a vertex
ANGLES
perpendicular
lines that form square corners when they intersect they form right angles
right angles
lines that form it are perpendicular and the angle represents 90 degrees
arc
part of a circle that represents an angle between two intersecting lines
right angles
lines that form it are perpendicular and the angle represents 90 degrees
Parallel
lines that will never cross and are the same distance apart
and may go on forever will not cross if they go on and on
obtuse angle
Angles greater than a right angle, greater than 90 degrees
intersection
When lines cross they cross at a point called an intersection
acute angles
Angles that are less than a right angle, less that 90 degrees
straight angle
straight line two rays pointing in opposite directions
complementary angles
two angles that form a right angle are complementary angles
supplementary angles
two angles combine to form a straight angle
vertex
the point where two rays meet
Congruent
having the same measure
degrees
a measurement used to measure angles a small amount
