48 Terms

1

geometric figures

shapes comprised of points, lines, or places

New cards
2

point

a location in space; does not have any dimensional properties

New cards
3

line

collection of points that extends infinitely in both directions

New cards
4

ray

a line that extends infinitely in only one direction is a ray

New cards
5

line segment

a section of line with a beginning and end

New cards
6

one dimensional

lines, rays, and line segments are examples of one dimensional because they can only be measured in one dimension

New cards
7

angles

where lines, rays, and line segments intersect; measured in degrees or radians

New cards
8

acute

between 0-90 degrees

New cards
9

obtuse

angles betwwen 90 and 180

New cards
10

right

exactly 90 degree angle

New cards
11

perpendicular

two lines that form right angle

New cards
12

parallel

lines that do not intersect

New cards
13

complementary

two angles with measurements that add up to 90 degrees

New cards
14

supplementary

two angles with measurements that add up to 180 degrees

New cards
15

linear pair

two adjacent angles; touching; supplementary

New cards
16

sum of angles in a triangle

180 degrees

New cards
17

two dimensional

measured in length and width

New cards
18

plane

two dimensional; extends infinitely in both dimensions

New cards
19

polygons

two-dimensional shape; ex: triangles and squares that have three or more straight sides the root of the word meaning many; many sides)

New cards
20

regular polygons

polygons with sides that are all the same length

New cards
21

three dimensional

objects such as cubes, can be measured in three dimensions (length, width, and height); also called solids

New cards
22

net

the shape of a flattened solid; ex - if you flattened all of the surfaces of a cube onto the ground

New cards
23

length

distance from one point to another on an object; can be found by using a tape measure or ruler

New cards
24

area

the size of the surface of a two-dimensional object; length times width

New cards
25

perimeter

distance around two dimensional figure; adding the lengths of all the sides

New cards
26

surface area

find area of every side of a 3D object and then add them all up

New cards
27

volume

amount of space that a 3D object takes up; can be found by multiplying length times width times height

New cards
28

circles

set of all the points in a plane that are the same distance from a fixed point

New cards
29

radius

distance from the center to any point on the circle

New cards
30

circumference

the distance around the circle

New cards
31

pi

the ratio of a circles circumference; 3.14

New cards
32

diameter

largest measurement across a circle; measurement of this is twice the measure of the radius

New cards
33

scalene triangle

no equal sides or angles

New cards
34

isosceles triangle

two eqaul sides and two equal angles

New cards
35

equilateral triangle

all three sides are equal and all three angles are

New cards
36

coordinate plane

plane containing the x and y axis

New cards
37

x-axis

the horizontal line

New cards
38

y-axis

the vertical line

New cards
39

points

locations on the graph

New cards
40

ordered pairs

(x,y) how the points are written

New cards
41

origin

(0,0) is called this, the original point of the graph, the middle point

New cards
42

statistics

the study of data

New cards
43

mean

the average; determined by adding all the outcomes and dividing by the total number of outcomes

New cards
44

median

the number in the middle when the data set is arranged in order from least to greatest

New cards
45

mode

most frequent outcome in the data set

New cards
46

range

difference between highest and lowest numbers in a data set

New cards
47

outliers

data points that are much different from the other data points

New cards
48

probability

likelihood or chance that something will happen
