Chapter 9.1 - 9.7 Flashcards
Define Angle
An angle is formed by two rays that share a common endpoint. Each ray is called a side of the angle.
Define Area
The area is a measure of the surface covered by a figure.
Define Complementary Angles
If the sum ot the measures of two angeles is 90 degrees, then they are called complementary angles.
Define Cone
A cone is a solid figure with one circular base and a vertex.
Define Cube
A cube is a rectangular solid whose length, width, and height are equal.
Define Cylinder
A cylinder is a solid figure with two parallel circles of the same size at the top and bottom.
Define Equilateral Triangle
A triangle with all thress sides of equal length is called an equilateral triangle.
Define Hypotenuse
The side of the triangle opposite the 90 degree angle is called the hypotenuse.
Define Irregular Figure
An irregular figure is a figure that is not a standard geometric shape. Its area cannot be calculated using any of the standard area formulas.
Define Isosceles Triangle
A triangle with two sides of equal length is called an isosceles triangle.
Define Legs of a Right Triangle
The sides of a right triangle adjacent to the right angle are called the legs.
Define Perimeter
The perimeter is a measure of the distance around a figure.
Define Rectangle
A rectangle is a geometric figure that has four sides and four right angles.
Define Right Triangle
A right triangle is a triangle that has one 90 degree angle.
Define Similar Figures
In geometry, if two figures have exactly the same shape but different sizes, we say they are similar figures.
