Definitions
Two lines that never intersect
What are parallel Lines
Which geometric figure represents an exact location?
What type of angle measures exactly 90°?
Right Angle
What is a polygon?
A closed figure made of three or more straight line segments.
This is the first shape you will create to make a regular hexagon with your tools
What is a circle?
Two intersecting lines that form 90 degree angles
What are perpendicular lines
Which figure extends forever in both directions?
Line
What type of angle measures less than 90°?
What do you call the points where two sides of a polygon meet?
Vertices
This is drawn after two overlapping circles with a radius larger than the midpoint to create a perpendicular bisector
What is a line through the midpoint and the intersection of the circles?
This line divides an angle or line into two equal parts
What is a bisector
Which figure has exactly two endpoints?
Line segment
What type of angle measures more than 90° but less than 180°?
Obtuse Angle
What do you call a polygon with 7 sides?
Heptagon
This is the first step to creating an angle bisector.
What is to use a compass to create two points the same distance from the vertex?
This line divides an angle into two equal angles
What is an angle bisector?
Which figure starts at one endpoint and extends forever in one direction?
A ray
What type of angle measures exactly 180°?
Straight Angle
What do you call a polygon with all sides and all angles equal?
This is the name of the point on the line segment which the perpendicular bisector will intersect.
What is the midpoint?
This is what makes a triangle an equilateral triangle
What are having all the sides the same length?
What geometric figure is formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint?
Which tool is used to measure angles?
Protractor
Why is a circle NOT considered a polygon?
Because it has curved sides and is not made of straight line segments.
m<ABC = 1/2m<ABD or m<ABC = 1/2m<DBC
