Essential Vocabulary

• Similar=to figures identical in shape, although NOT necessarily the same size.
• Congruent=two figures EXACTLY EQUAL in size and shape.
• Angle=two rays sharing a common endpoint.
• Polygon=closed figure with at least three straight sides.
• Parallel lines=lines that do not cross.
• Perpendicular lines=lines that cross and intersect or meet at a 90 degree angle.
