Acute Angle- angle that measures between 0 and 90 degreesAcute triangle- All angles are less than 90 degreesAdjacent angles- Two angles that share both a side and a vertex.Alternate interior angle- congruent angles on the interior and are on opposite sidesAltitude- line segment drawn from an angle to the opposite side, creating a right angleAngle-The union of two rays with a common endpoint, called the vertex.Angle addition postulate- If angle ABD and angle DBC are adjacent angles, then angle ABC= angleABD =+ angle DBCAngle bisector- an angle bisector is a line that bisects an interior angleAngle measure- number of degrees in an angleAxiom- synonym of postulateBase-The bottom of a plane figure or three-dimensional figureCentroid- the point where all three medians crossCollinear points- points that lie on the same planeComplementary angles- two angles whose sum is 90 degreesConjecture- a statement that appears true but has not been provenCongruent- equal/sameCoplanar- points that lie on the same planeCorresponding angles-When two lines are crossed by another line (which is called the Transversal), theangles in matching cornersDecagon- a polygon with 10 sides and 10 anglesDiagonal- line segment connecting non-consecutive verticesEquilateral triangle- All 3 sides of the triangle are congruentExterior angle- the angle between any side of a shape, and a line extended from the next sideExterior angle theorem- A measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measuresof the two non=adjacent interior angles
