What is a triangle?
A polygon with 3 sides and 3 angles.

What kind of lines meet to form a right angle?
Perpendicular Lines

List the all of the different types of quadrilaterals.
Rectangle, Square, Rhombus, Parallelogram, Trapezoid, Trapezium

How many degrees are in every triangle?
180 degrees

I have a hexagon with side lengths of 5 cm. What is the perimeter of my hexagon?
30 cm (6 sides x 5cm = 30cm)

Tameka drew a trapezium with the following angles: 80 degrees, 70 degrees, and 110 degrees. What is the measurement of the fourth angle?
100 degrees. (80+70+110) = 260 degrees 360-260 = 100 degrees

What is the formula for finding the area of a triangle?
1/2 b x h (One half of the base times the height)
300
What kind of lines make up a triangle?
Perpendicular or Intersecting Lines depending on what your triangle looks like.
300
What type of triangle contains a 90 degree angle?
Right Triangle

Keith made a rhombus made out of straws. If his perimeter was 24 inches, what was the length and the width?
6 inches each side. A rhombus has equal side lengths.
400
Draw a rectangle. If I did not give you any angle measures, find total number of degrees that make up that rectangle.
360. 1. In a quadrilateral, all four angle measures add up to 360 degrees. 2. A rectangle contains 4 right angles, so (90 x 4 = 360)
400
What kind of triangle has at least two sides that are equal in length?
Isosceles
400
What type of polygon contains two sets of parallel lines?
Parallelogram
400
What type of triangle contains equal angles and equal side lengths?
Equilateral Triangle

Mr. Aldo was trying to fit a photo of his daughter into a picture frame. If the photo had an area of 64 inches squared, would his photo fit in a frame that was 5 inches in length and 12 inches in width? Why or why not?
No, because the photo is 64 inches squared, and the frame is only 60 inches squared. He is 4 inches squared short.

Explain how a rectangle, a square, and a rhombus can be considered a parallelogram. Can a traditional parallelogram be considered a rectangle? Why or why not?
By definition, a parallelogram contains two pairs of parallel lines and contains four angles. A rectangle, square, and a rhombus contain two sets of parallel lines and they contain four angles. Therefore, they are considered parallelograms. A parallelogram is not considered a rectangle because it does not contain 4 right angles. A rectangle or a square must have four right angles.

Here are the dimensions and angle measures of a triangle. Tell me what kind of triangle it is. Angle Measures: 50 degrees 70 degrees 60 degrees Side Lengths: 3cm 4cm 5cm
Acute Scalene (All of the angle measures are less than 90 degrees, and all of the side lengths are not equal).
500
How are lines and polygons related?
All polygons are made up of straight line segments Polygons may contain parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting lines. They may even contain more than one type of line. You can classify polygons by looking at what kinds of lines make up that shape.

I have a quadrillateral with the following angle measures: 120 60 95 ? What is the measure of the fourth angle?
85 degrees (120 + 60 + 95 = 275) 360 - 275 = 85 degrees
