100
These angles are adjacent and supplementary.
Linear pair
100
Regrettably, fortune has not seen fit to smile up you this day. 100 points will be deducted from the team whose member chose this question.
Ha ha
100
What is the name of a polygon with four sides?
Quadrilateral
100
What is the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral?
360 degrees
200
A straight path. No width. Goes on forever in two directions.
Line
200
These nonadjacent angles are created by two intersecting lines.
Vertical
200
The sum of the angles in a triangle is_________
180 degrees
200
What is the equation used to find the sum of the interior angles of a polygon? Double time: You were given two versions of the equation. List them both to double your points.
S = 180(n-2) or S = 180n - 360
200
What is a quadrilateral with two pairs of congruent, parallel, opposite sides called?
Parallelogram
300
A flat surface. No depth. Goes on forever.
Plane
300
These angles are on the same side of their transversal and the same side of their respective lines. If the respective lines are parallel, these angles are congruent.
Corresponding
300
Describes a triangle with three congruent angles.
Equiangular
300
What is the sum of the exterior angles (one at each vertex)for any convex polygon?
360 degrees
300
What is a quadrilateral with four congruent sides called?
Rhombus
400
Created by two nonopposite rays with a common endpoints. Measure in degrees.
Angle
400
These angles are on the same side of their transversal and in between their respective lines. If the respective lines are parallel, these angles are supplementary.
Consecutive (same side) interiors.
400
This type of triangle has no congruent sides.
Scalene
400
What is the sum of the interior angles for a heptagon?
900 degrees
400
What is true about the diagonals of a kite?
They are perpendicular.
500
Used to describe points that lie on the same line. Yes spelling matters! Spelling this correctly will double the points you get. Spell it incorrectly, and lose the 500 points this question is worth.
Collinear
500
Be careful! If your team chose this question and you get it wrong, you will lose the 500 points this problem is worth. The measures of these angles are equal to the sum of their remote interiors.
Exterior angles
500
Daily Double: Teams that get this correct will receive an extra 500 points. If a __________ triangle is also isosceles, one of base angles is 45 degrees.
right
500
Any teams who miss this will be penalized 500 points. What is the measure of each interior angle in a regular decagon?
144 degrees
500
Nice choice! If the team who chose this category gets the answer correct, their team, and only their team, gets an extra 500 points! If the midsegment of an isosceles trapezoid is 65 units, what is the sum of the bases?
130 units.
