Shapes Flashcards
Symmetric
Split in middle equal sides
Parallelogram
Quadrilateral with two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel to each other
Asymmetric
Cannot be split equal sides
Trapezoid
Quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides and one pair of non-parallel sides
Irregular Polygon
A polygon with sides and angle measures that are not all the same
Translation / Slide
Changing geometry by moving right, left, up, down, or a combination of these.
Vertices
the corners of the shape
Regular Polygon
A polygon with all sides congruent to each other and all angle measures congruent to each other
Glide Reflection
A geometric transformation consisting of two transformations at once: a translation and a reflection
Quadrilateral
polygon with four vertices and four sides
Rotation / Turn
A geometric transformation consisting of a turn of a shape about a point, often the origin, (0, 0)
Slant height
the distance from the apex (top) to an edge of the base
Face
the sides of the shape
Scalene Triangle
Triangle with no sides or angles congruent to each other. All three sides are of different lengths.
Edge
where these faces meet
