What is a scalene triangle?

Back

A scalene triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are of different lengths and all three angles are of different measures.

Front

What is an equilateral triangle?

Back

An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are of equal length and all three angles are equal, each measuring 60 degrees.

Front

What is an isosceles triangle?

Back

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has at least two sides of equal length and the angles opposite those sides are equal.

Front

What is a right triangle?

Back

A right triangle is a triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees.

Front

What is a hexagon?

Back

A hexagon is a polygon with six sides and six angles.

Front

What is an angle bisector?

Back

An angle bisector is a line or ray that divides an angle into two equal parts.

Front

What is a perpendicular bisector?

Back

A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a line segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle.

Front

What does it mean to copy an angle?

Back

To copy an angle means to create a new angle that is congruent to a given angle using a compass and straightedge.

Front

What is the purpose of geometric constructions?

Back

Geometric constructions are used to create precise figures and shapes using only a compass and straightedge.

Front

What is the significance of congruence in geometric constructions?

Back

Congruence in geometric constructions ensures that two figures are identical in shape and size.
