Geometry: The study of shapes and their properties

Below are some terms that we learned during our geometry unit in math.  
Picture
Picture
Angles:  2 rays joined by a vertex
        Acute:  0-89 degrees (less than 90)
        Right:  exactly 90 degrees
        Obtuse:  91-179 degrees (greater than 90, less than 180)
        Straight:  exactly 180 degrees (a line or line segment)
Picture
Polygons:  Closed figures made up of line segments  
       Regular Polygons:  All the angles have the same degrees; all the  
                      sides are the same length
       Irregular Polygons:  The sides and angles have different 
                      measurements
Picture
Triangles:  Polygons with 3 sides and 3 angles;  Triangles can be classified using 2 names: 1 to describe the lengths of the sides and 1 to describe the angles inside

Sides:
       Equilateral:  All sides are the same length
       Isosceles:  2 of the sides have the same length
       Scalene:  Each side has a different length (no sides the same)

Angles:
       Right:  Has one 90 degree angle
       Acute:  All 3 angles are acute (all less than 90 degrees)
       Obtuse:  1 angle is obtuse (between 90 and 180 degrees)
Picture

Examples of triangles:

Picture
Quadrilaterals:  Polygons with 4 sides and 4 angles; more specific names are given based on the number of parallel sides, the number of sides of equal length, and the measurements of the angles.  Some shapes can be classified by multiple names: a square is a type of rectangle, a rhombus is a type of parallelogram, etc.
