    The document defines and describes various types of angles, polygons, lines, and line segments. It discusses right, acute, and obtuse angles. It also defines basic shapes like triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons and other polygons. Key properties are described, such as the sum of interior angles in different shapes. Types of triangles are defined based on side lengths and angle measures. Parallel lines and their relationship to transversals are also covered, defining terms like corresponding angles and interior/exterior angles.

    Acute angle An angle that measures between 0 and 90.

    Right angle An angle whose measure is exactly 90.

    Obtuse angle An angle that has a measure of greater than 90 but less than 180.

    Square A quadrilateral with four right angles and four congruent (equal) sides. The sum of the angles is 360.

    Rhombus A polygon with four congruent sides. The sum of the angles is 360.

    Rectangle - A quadrilateral with four right angles. The sum of the angles is 360.

    Parallelogram A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.

    Obtuse scalene triangle A triangle that has one obtuse angle and no equal sides or equal angles.

    Acute scalene triangle A triangle in which each angle is an acute angle and has not equal sides or angles.

    Right scalene triangle - A triangle that has a right angle and no equal sides or angles.

    Acute isosceles triangle A triangle in which each angle is an acute angle and has two equal sides.

    Obtuse isosceles triangle A triangle that has one obtuse angle and two equal sides.

    Right isosceles triangle - A triangle that has a right angle and two equal sides.

    Equilateral triangle A triangle with all sides congruent (equal) and all angles are equal.

    Trapezoid A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of opposite sides parallel. The sum of the angles is 360.

    Kite A quadrilateral that has two distinct pairs of consecutive equilateral sides.

    Pentagon - A five-sided polygon. The sum of the angles is 540.

    Hexagon - A six-sided polygon. The sum of the angles is 720.

    Heptagon - A seven-sided polygon. The sum of the angles is 900.

    Octagon - An eight-sided polygon. The sum of the angles is 1080.

    Nonagon a nine-sided polygon. The o. sum of the angles is 1260

    Decagon- A ten-sided polygon. The sum of the angles is 1440o

    Concave polygon- a polygon with one or more interior angles greater than 180 (reflex angle). It looks sort of like a vertex has been 'pushed in' towards the inside of the polygon.

    Convex polygon- a polygon with all its interior angles less than 180.

    Quadrilateral- A flat shape with four straight sides.

    Ray- A ray can be thought of as half a line. It has one end point, and it extends infinitely in the direction of a second point.

    Line segment- A line segment is the portion of a line lying strictly between two points. It has a finite length and no width.

    Line- A line has only one dimension: length. It continues forever in two directions (so it has infinite length), but it has no width at all. A line connects two points via the shortest path, and then continues on in both directions.

    Plane- A plane is a flat, two-dimensional object. We often represent a plane by a piece of paper, a blackboard, or the top of a desk. In fact, none of these is actually a plane, because a plane must continue infinitely in all directions and have no thickness at all. A plane can be defined by two intersecting lines or by three noncollinear points.

    line bisector- cutting a line segment into two equal lengths with another line - the bisector.

    Transversal- a line that passes through (transverses) two other lines that are parallel to each other.

    Corresponding angles- are the angles in matching corners of the transversal and have the same angle measurement.

    Same side interior angles- Each pair of interior angles are inside the parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal. The interior angles are supplementary and add to 180.

    Same side exterior angles- Each pair of exterior angles are outside the parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal. The exterior angles are supplementary and add to 180.

    Alternate exterior angles- both angles are outside the parallel lines and on opposite (alternate) sides of the transversal. Alternate exterior angles have the same angle measurement.

    Vertical angles- The angles opposite each other when two lines cross. Vertical angles have the same measurement.

    Supplementary angles- Two angles that add up to 180.

    Complementary angles- Two angles that add up to 90.

    HINT: The phrase "it's right to give compliments" A right angle is 90 degrees and, yes, 'compliment' and 'complement' are not the same word, but it's a way to remember which is which.

    Interior angle- The interior angles of a polygon are those angles at each vertex that are on the inside of the polygon.

    Exterior angle- The angle between any side of a shape, and a line extended from the next side.

    Congruent Angles- Angles that have the same measurement are congruent (equal).
