QUIZ Point – an exact location in space. It is ALWAYS named with a capital letter. Example: Point P . P

QUIZ Line – a straight path of point that continues infinitely in two directions. A line is named by any two points on it. Example: Line AB or AB A B

QUIZ Line segment- a part of a line that begins at one point and ends at another point. Example: Line Segment EF, or EF E F

QUIZ Ray - this has one endpoint and continues infinitely in one direction. Example: Ray CD, or CD C D

QUIZ Angle – a figure formed by two rays that have the same end point. X Angle Y, angle XYZ, angle ZYX Y Y XYZ ZYX Z

QUIZ Vertex – An angle is named by its vertex or by three points with its vertex in the middle. Example: Z (Vertex ) Y X

QUIZ Plane – a flat surface. It continues in all directions. It is usually named with a small letter. Example: Plane m

QUIZ Straight Angle - this measures 180 Right Angles – this measures 90 Obtuse Angle - measures more than 90 but less than 180 Acute Angle - measures less than 90

QUIZ Intersecting Lines – Lines that meet Perpendicular Lines – Lines that intersect and form right angles. Parallel Lines – Lines in a plane that never intersect.

QUIZ SIDE CLASSIFICATION Equilateral Isosceles Scalene - all three sides are equal. - two sides are equal - none of the sides are equal ANGLE CLASSIFICATION Acute Right - all angles - one angle measure less than is 90 degrees Obtuse - one angle measures more than 90 degrees

QUIZ Number of sides Name Picture 3 Triangle 4 Quadrilateral 5 Pentagon 6 Hexagon 7 Heptagon 8 Octagon 9 Nonagon 10 Decagon

QUIZ Congruent Figures are EXACTLY the same size AND shape. ~ Example: Rectangle A is = Rectangle B Reminder: ~ = means A B congruent Similar Figures are the shape, but different sizes. Example: Square C ~ Square D C ~ means similar to D

QUIZ A shape has symmetry when you can fold one half over the other half perfectly. Examples: These figures do not have any lines of symmetry:

QUIZ T U R V W S Name Definition Example Chord A line segment that has endpoints on the circle TU Diameter Radius Central angle A chord that passes through the center of a circle. It is twice the length of a radius. A line segment that extends from the center to any point on the circle. It is half the size of a diameter An angle that has its vertex at the center of the circle. SV RW SRW

QUIZ Translation - when you slide the figure along a straight line. Reflection – when you flip the figure along a line of symmetry. The new figure is called a reflection. Rotation – you turn the figure on a curved path around a point. . Point of rotation

Congruent Angles: Same measure Vertical Angles: A pair of angles formed by intersecting lines. (Hint: Think of the angle on the opposite side. ) 30 º MORE…

Adjacent Angles – A pair of angles with a common vertex and a common side. (hint: they’re next to each other) Complimentary Angles: Angles that add up to 90º. 60º 30º Supplementary Angles: Angles that add up to 180 º. 100º 80º
