Describing Figures
A feature or characteristic of a figure.
What is an attribute?
Two sides of a figure meet here.
What is a vertex?
A polygon with 4 or more sides.
What is a quadrilateral?
A 3D figure that takes up space.
What is a solid?
Always the same distance apart and never meets.
What is parallel?
When two sides of a figure meet to make a square corner.
What is a right angle?
A polygon with 4 right angles, opposite sides equal and opposite sides parallel.
What is a rectangle?
When a figure cut in half has an equal reflection.
What is symmetry?
A 3D solid that always has rectangular faces.
What is a prism?
Used to show equal side lengths of figures.
What are hatchmarks?
The space between two line segments.
What is an angle?
A polygon with the same attributes as a rectangle except for the angles.
