Intermediate I Geometry and Measurement, (3-4 new curriculum) Flashcards
Two planes, lines, rays, or segments that are equidistant from each other when measured at a 90 degree angle out from one of them to the other
parallel
Two lines, rays, planes, or segments that intersect at a 90 degree angle
perpendicular
the corner of a piece of paper, the angle between the hands on an analog clock at 3:00, a capital letter L
Have sides of equal length and interior angles of equal measure.
regular polygons
(Will be convex by definition)
A plane, two-dimensional closed shape bounded with straight lines. Can be both concave, or convex.
polygon
can be irregular or regular
concave polygon = at least one interior angle is greater than 180 degrees
convex polygon = all interior angles are smaller than 180 degrees
e.g.: triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, octagons etc.
list types of quadrilaterals
squares
rectangles
parallelograms
trapezoids
rhombuses
list types of triangles
equilateral
isosceles
scalene
By angle:
right
obtuse
acute
two angles that compose 90 degrees (compose means “add to”)
complementary angles
two angles that compose 180 degrees
supplementary angles
