LINE UP!
These lines stay the same distance apart and will never, ever touch.
What are Parallel Lines?
This is the general name for any flat, closed shape with exactly four sides.
What is a Quadrilateral?
I have 4 sides, 4 right angles, and all 4 of my sides are the same.
What is a square?
This term describes two lines that cross each other at exactly one point.
What are Intersecting Lines?
This is a quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
What is a Parallelogram?
I have two pairs of parallel sides and four equal sides, but my corners are not 90 degrees. You could call me a crooked square.
What is a rhombus?
These lines cross at a perfect 90-degree angle, forming "square" corners.
What are Perpendicular Lines?
True or False? Some trapezoids can be parallelograms?
What is true?
I am a parallelogram with four right angles. I am not a square, but I am a very close cousin.
What is a rectangle?
In geometry, I am defined as a straight path that is perfectly thin, has no thickness, and extends infinitely in two opposite directions, as shown by arrows on both ends.
What is a line?
True or False? All rectangles can be squares.
What is False?
I am the only quadrilateral that can claim all of the following titles at once: I am a Parallelogram, a Rectangle, and a Rhombus.
What is a square?
Unlike a 'line' which goes on forever in both directions, I am a part of a line that has two distinct endpoints, marking exactly where I begin and where I end.
What is a line segment?
This is the main category above quadrilaterals. SOME of these are also quadrilaterals, and ALL quadrilaterals are this.
What is a polygon?
I am the 'one-way street' of geometry. I begin at a single fixed endpoint and extend infinitely in only one direction. You can see me in nature when you look at a beam of light coming from the sun.
What is a ray?
