Angle vocabulary Flashcards
Parallel
LIne that will never cross and are the same distance apart and may go on forever(lines will not cross if they go on and on)
Arc
Part of a circle that represents an angle between two intersecting lines.
Angles
When lines intersect they form angles are the spaces that are formed by intersecting lines They meet at a vertex name angles by names and points.
Perpendicular
LInes that form square corners they intersect they form right angles.
Right angles
Lines that form it are perpendicular and angles measure 90 degrees.
Intersection
When lines cross at a point called the intersection.
Acute angles
Angles that are less than a right angle.
Obtuse angles
Angles that are bigger than a right angle.
straight angle
A straight line two rays pointing at each other to form a 180 degree angle.
Complementary angles
Two angles that form a right angle are called complementary angles.
Supplementary angles
Two angles that form to make a straight angle.
Vertex
The point where two rays meet.
Congruent
Having the same measurement.
DEgrees
A measurement used to measure angles.
Protractor
