Study Notes
Geometry Terms and Definitions
-
Linear Pair: Consists of two adjacent angles whose non-common sides form a straight line, indicating they are supplementary (sum to 180 degrees).
-
Vertical Angles: Created when two lines intersect, resulting in two pairs of nonadjacent angles that are equal in measure.
-
Perimeter: Represents the total distance around a polygon, calculated by adding together the lengths of all its sides.
-
Regular Polygon: A specific type of convex polygon where all sides and angles are equal, leading to a uniform shape.
-
Adjacent Angles: Defined as two angles that share a common vertex and side, lying in the same plane, facilitating discussions of angle relationships and properties.
