Math Terms by: Peter and Sean
congruent 2 shapes that are the same
supplementary angle 180 together two angles that equal 180
intersecting, perpendicular. and parallel lines
adjacent angle an angle that shares a line
vertical angles the angle opposite to the other angle when two lines cross.
complementary angles 2 angles that equal to 90
Quadrilateral a shape with 4 sides
Square shape with 4 congruent sides and angles that are 90
Trapezoid a shape with 4 sides but only one set of parallel lines.
Rhombus A shape with 4 congruent sides
Rectangle 2 sets of parallel and congruent angles
Parallelogram A shape with 4 sides and the sides opposite from each other are parallel.
Parts of a Circle <--Radius ^ Diameter ^ || Radius: the distance from the center point to the edge of a circle Diameter: the distance from one edge of a circle to another going through the middle point.
Perimeter The distance around an object. To find it add up the sides Triangle Square Parallelogram w/ Rhombus Trapezoid Rectangle
Circumference the distance around a circle
Area of Triangle multiply the base times the height then divide it by 2. b x h=__, __/2=a
Area of a Rhombus or Parallelogram multiply the base times the height BxH=A
Area of a Square or Rectangle multiply the base times the height. BxH=A
Area of a Circle multiply pi (3.14) times the radius squared πr 2
Thales, Eudemus he discovered adjacent angles.
who he is He is a famous European mathmatican that had a very rich family.
he helps us today by letting us be smarter in math. helping us make more discoveries.
Real Life Square Perimeter An example would be if you had a square lawn you wanted surrounded by fence and one side was 7 feet, how would you find it?
Real Life Square Area Also if you wanted to plant 6 rows of flowers with 5 flowers in each row, how would you find it?
Real Life Circle Perimeter If you wanted to put Christmas lights around a round window, how would you find how much you need?
Real Life Circle Area Or if you are just fixing a window pane that had been broken, how would you figure how big of a pane you would need?
Angles in Everyday Objects Angles are in almost every object from corners in tables to the arches of bridges.
