Concave Polygon
polygon that has at least one interior angle that is more than 180⁰; at least one vertex seems to point inward; diagonals pass outside of the polygon
Obtuse triangle
Triangle with one obtuse angle; one angle measuring more than 90⁰
Edge
where these faces meet
Irregular polygon
A polygon with sides and angle measures that are not all the same
Parallelogram
Quadrilateral with two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel to each other
Right triangle
triangle with one right angle measuring exactly 90⁰
Acute triangle

prism
a three-dimensional figure with quadrilateral faces with two congruent bases (and no apex)
Regular prism
A prism with regular polygons for bases.
Vertices
the corners of the shape
Pyramid
a shape in three dimensions that has a polygon for a base and triangular faces that meet at a point (the apex)
circle
The set of all points equidistant (the same distance) from a given point (the center). Circles have no sides nor interior angles.
Equilateral polygon
polygon with all sides congruent (equal length)
