Chapter 12 Math

Front

How many vertices does a rectangle have?

Back

A rectangle has 4 vertices (corners).

Front

What does it mean for a shape to show equal shares?

Back

A shape shows equal shares when it is divided into parts that are the same size.

Front

If a shape is divided into 4 equal parts, does it show equal shares?

Back

Yes, if a shape is divided into 4 equal parts, it shows equal shares.

Front

If a shape is divided into 3 unequal parts, does it show equal shares?

Back

No, if a shape is divided into 3 unequal parts, it does not show equal shares.

Front

What is the definition of a vertex in geometry?

Back

A vertex is a point where two or more lines meet, commonly referred to as a corner.

Front

Can a shape have more than 4 vertices? Give an example.

Back

Yes, a shape can have more than 4 vertices. For example, a pentagon has 5 vertices.

Front

What is the difference between equal shares and unequal shares?

Back

Equal shares refer to parts that are the same size, while unequal shares refer to parts that are different sizes.

Front

How can you determine if a shape has equal shares visually?

Back

You can determine if a shape has equal shares visually by checking if the parts are the same size and shape.

Front

What is an example of a shape that does not show equal shares?

Back

An example of a shape that does not show equal shares is a rectangle divided into two unequal rectangles.

Front

What is the significance of understanding vertices in geometry?

Back

Understanding vertices is significant because they are key points in defining the shape and properties of geometric figures.
