Geom Essentials
This geometric figure has zero dimensions.
What is a point?
Two angles that sum to 180 degrees but are not necessarily adjacent.
What are supplementary angles?
The name of a nine-sided polygon.
What is a nonagon?
These are the names of 3 trigonometric ratios.
What are sine, cosine, and tangent?
Which insect isn’t the best football player?
A fumble bee.
This geometric figure is a part of a line that has one endpoint and goes on infinitely in one direction.
What is a ray?
Two angles that sum to 180 degrees and are also adjacent.
What is a linear pair?
The sum of interior angles of a pentagon.
What is 540 degrees?
These are angle measures for types of special triangles.
What are triangles that have either angles of 45, 45, and 90 degrees or 30, 60, and 90 degrees?
Why is a circle so knowledgeable about geometry?
Because it has 360 degrees.
This word describes geometric figures that lie on the same plane.
What is coplanar?
Two angles formed by intersecting lines. The angles are across from one another and are always congruent.
What are vertical angles?
The sum of the exterior angles of a decagon.
What is 360 degrees?
The trigonometric ratio of the side opposite an angle to the side adjacent to the angle.
What is the tangent?
What did the mathematical little acorn say when it grew up?
Gee...I’m a tree!
This geometric figure is create by 2 rays with a common endpoint and measures between 90 and 180 degrees.
What is an obtuse angle?
When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal line, name a pair of angles that is now automatically congruent. (But the lines HAVE to be parallel for this to be true.)
What are corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, or alternate exterior angles.
The formula for finding the sum of the interior angles of any polygon AND its meaning.
(n-2)180, where (n-2) is the number of triangles that make up the polygon and 180 is the sum of interior angles of each triangle.
The theorem that helps us find the length of a side of a triangle given two other sides.
What is The Pythagorean Theorem?
Why did the right triangle go to the beach?
Because it was 90 degrees
This is the intersection of a line and a plane.
What is a point?
When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal line, name a pair of angles that is now automatically supplementary. (But the lines HAVE to be parallel for this to be true.)
What are same side interior angles or same side exterior angles?
A polygon in which at least one vertex points inward.
What is a concave polygon?
Mr. S is this many years old.
What is 22?
Why did the triangle make the basketball team over the square?
Because it always made three-pointers
