Block 05

Point

Has no length or width, it just specifies a exact location.

Line (Segment)

Line that does not extend forever, but has two distinct end points.

Plane

A surface generated be a straight line moving at a constant velocity with respect to a fixed point.

Angle

The space within two lines or three or more planes diverging from a common point, or within two planes diverging from a common line.

Perpendicular Lines

Two intersecting lines that form right angles

Slope is -1

Parallel Lines

Lines that are always the same distance apart and will never meet.

Triangle

A polygon with three vertices and three edges.

Right Triangle

A triangle with one right angle

Pentagon

Polygon with five sides

Hexagon

A polygon with six sides

Square

A rectangle having all four sides of equal length.

Rectangle

A parallelogram with four right angles.

Trapezoid

A quadrilateral plane figure having two parallel and two non parallel sides.

Parallelogram

A quadrilateral having both pairs of opposite sides parallel to each other.

Circle

A closed plane curve consisting of all points at a given distance from a point within it called the center.

Cylinder

A surface or solid bounded by two parallel planes and generated by a straight line moving parallel to the given planes and tracing a curve bounded by the planes and lying in a plane perpendicular or oblique to the given planes.

Sphere

A solid geometric figure generated by the revolution of a semicircle about its diameter

a round body whose surface is at all points equidistant form the center.

Ray

Also called half-line Originates at a point

and extends in one direction from that point.

Cone

A solid whose surface is generated by a line passing through a fixed point and a fixed plane curve not containing the point, consisting of two equal sections joined at a vertex.

Acute Triangle

A triangle whose interior angles are all acute.
