  • An angle that measures exactly 90 degrees, forming a perfect corner.
    right angle
  •  15
  • An angle that measures less than 90 degrees; it is sharper and smaller than a right angle.
    acute angle
  •  15
  • An angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees; it is wider than a right angle.
    obtuse angle
  •  15
  • A part of a line that has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction.
    ray
  •  15
  • A part of a line that has two endpoints and is a fixed length.
    line segment
  •  15
  • A closed shape made up of straight lines, with at least three sides, such as triangles and squares.
    polygons
  •  15
  • A round shape where all points are the same distance from the center point; it has no corners.
    circle
  •  15
  • The distance from the center of a circle to any point on its edge; it is half the diameter.
    radius
  •  15
  • A straight line that passes through the center of a circle and connects two points on its edge; it is twice the length of the radius.
    diameter
  •  15
  • A tool used to measure angles in degrees
    protractor
  •  15
  • A type of polygon that has four sides, such as squares and rectangles.
    Quadrilateral
  •  15
  • Lines that run side by side and never intersect, no matter how far they are extended.
    Parallel lines
  •  15
  • Lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees).
    Perpendicular Lines
  •  15
  • An angle that measures exactly 180 degrees, appearing as a straight line.
    straight angle
  •  15
  • An angle that measures 0 degrees, meaning there is no space between the two rays
    zero angle
  •  15
