PRESENTATION OUTLINE

POINT

  • NAMES OF A LOCATION
  • Ex: point b
  • Lines are connected from point to point to create a shape

PLANE

  • A perfectly flat surface that extends forever in all directions
  • Ex: points go on these and are plotted on these

RAY

  • A part of a line that starts at one point and extends forever in one direction
  • Ex: sunlight starts at the sun and goes forever

ACUTE ANGLE

  • An angle smaller than 90°
  • Ex: pizza

COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES

  • Measures that add up to 90°
  • Ex. An intersection or a cross

CONGRUENT

  • Figures that have the same size and shape
  • Ex. The sides of a rubric cube

PARALLEL LINES

  • To lines in a plane that never meet
  • Ex: perfectly straight train tracks

TRANSVERSAL

  • A line that intersects any two or more other lines
  • The wood on train tracks connecting the to metal pieces

ALTERNATE INTERIOR ANGLES

  • Angles that are congruent on the inside of two parallel lines
  • Ex: the inside points of an N

ACUTE TRIANGLES

  • A triangle that has three acute angles
  • Ex: Doritos
  • All the angles are less than 90°

OBTUSE TRIANGLE

  • A triangle with one obtuse angle
  • An obtuse angle is an angle in between 90° and 180°
  • Ex: a hand held fan

ISOSCELES TRIANGLE

  • Has at least 2 congruent sides and 2 congruent angles
  • Ex: a coat hanger

REGULAR POLYGONS

  • All sides and angles are congruent.
  • Ex: a regular octagon would be the shape of a stop sign

LINE

  • It is perfectly straight and extends in both directions forever
  • When you draw a line you put arrows pointing in both directions to signify that they go on forever.
  • Ex. A line with arrows on the ends

SEGMENT

  • The part of a line between two points
  • Ex. Ruler

RIGHT ANGLE

  • An angle that measures 90°
  • We put a box in side the angle to signify this
  • Ex. The inside angles of a basket ball court

OBTUSE ANGLE

  • An angle that measure in between 90° and 180°
  • Ex. Boomarang

SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES

  • Angles that measure up to 180°
  • Ex. 2 quarters of a pie

VERTICAL ANGLES

  • A pair of opposite congruent angles formed by 2 intersecting lines
  • Ex. 2 sides of a rail road crossing sign

PERPENDICULAR LINES

  • Lines that intersect at 90° angles
  • Ex. Power lines(wire hits pole)

Untitled Slide

CORRESPONDING ANGLES

  • Matching angles of two or more polygons
  • Ex. 2 equal slices of cake

ALTERNATE EXTERIOR ANGLES

  • A pair of angles on he outer sides of two lines cut by a transversal on opposite sides of the transversal
  • Ex. Parking lots

RIGHT TRIANGLE

  • A triangle with one angle that measures 90° degrees
  • Ex. Half a sandwhich

EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE

  • A triangle with 3 congruent sides and angles
  • Ex. Caution sign

SCALENE TRIANGLE

  • A triangle with all different sides and angles
  • Ex. Sail on a boat

IRREGULAR POLYGONS

  • Polygons without all equal sides and angles
  • Ex. An irregular octagon would look like the picture above.
