14. Lines in the same plane that never cross Read – line KL is parallel to line MN M N KL KL Write - KL

15. A plane figure where all the points on the circle are the same distance from the center. A circle is named by its center point. A Circle A

16. A point in the center of a circle. Center

17. Any line segment with endpoints at the center of the circle and on the circle. Any line segment with endpoints at the center of the circle and on the circle. BC BC is a radius B of circle B C B

18. Any line segment that passes through the center of the circle and has both endpoints on the circle. Twice the length of the radius.

19. A path that begins and ends at the same point and does not cross itself

20. A closed figure formed from line segments that do not cross. Polygon means, “Many Angles.” Most polygons are named for the number of angles it has. Ex. Tri means 3… Triangle “Must have 3 or more sides.”

21. A four sided polygon

38. A figure has a line of symmetry if it can be folded so that its two parts match. The fold is called the line of symmetry.

39. A pair of numbers used to locate a point on a grid. The first number tell you to move across the X – axis. The second number tells you to move up or down the Y – axis. 3, 2 Says move 3 right Move 2 up to your point X Y

40. The starting point or the ordered pair ( 0, 0 ) X Y origin
