The ABC’s of

Geometry
 A
Angle
• The space between two intersecting lines
or surfaces measured in degrees.
 B
Bisect
•To divide into two equal parts
 C
Cone
• A three-dimensional shape with a circular
base and a curved surface that tapers to a
point.
 D
Diameter
• A straight line that passes through the center of
a circle or sphere and touches its circumference
or surface at two points.
 E
Equilateral
•A triangle that has all equal sides
 F
Face
• A flat surface on a shape
 G
Geometry
• A type of math that features points, lines,
surfaces, and shapes.
 H
Hypotenuse
•The longest side of a right triangle;
opposite of right angle
 I
Isosceles

•A triangle with two sides of equal

length.
 J
Joint
• The point where two or more-line
segments or curves meet.
 K
Kite
•A quadrilateral with two pairs of equal
adjacent sides.
 L
Line Segment

•A part of a line that has two

endpoints
 M
Medium
• The middle of a line.
 N
Nonagon

•A shape that has nine sides

 O
Obtuse
•An angle greater than 90 degrees and
less than 180 degrees
 P
Perpendicular
•Two lines or surfaces that intersect at a
right angle
 Q
Quadrilateral

•A four-sided polygon
 R
Rhombus
• A quadrilateral with four sides of equal
length and inequal angles.
 S
Sphere

•A 3-d circle
 T
Tan
•The ratio of opposite ovr adjacent
 U
Unit

•One of something; square units, ft.

 V
Vertex
• A point where two or more-line segments
or curves meet to form an angle.
 W
Width
•The measure of something form side
to side
 X
X-Axis
•The horizontal Axis of graph
 Y
Y-Axis
•The vertical axis of graph
 Z
Zero
• A number on a point that represents neither
positive or negative value
