Explain dilation in geometry.

A dilation with center P and positive scale factor k takes a point A along the ray PA to another point whose distance is k times farther away from P than A is.

What is a directed line segment?

A line segment with an arrow at one end specifying a direction.

Define directrix in a parabola.

The line that, together with a point called the focus, defines a parabola.

What is a face in geometry?

Any flat surface on a three-dimensional figure is a face.

Define focus in a parabola.

The point that, together with a line called the directrix, defines a parabola.

What is an image in transformations?

If a transformation takes A to A', then A is the original and A' is the image.

Define incenter of a triangle.

The incenter of a triangle is the intersection of all three of the triangle’s angle bisectors.

What does inscribed mean in geometry?

A polygon is inscribed in a circle if it fits inside the circle and every vertex of the polygon is on the circle.

Define inscribed angle.

An angle formed by two chords in a circle that share an endpoint.

What is a line of symmetry?

A line of symmetry for a figure is a line such that reflection across the line takes the figure onto itself.

A set of points on a line with two endpoints.

What is a median in geometry?

A line from a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

What are opposite numbers?

Two numbers are opposites of each other if they are the same distance from 0 on the number line, but on opposite sides.

Define outcome in probability.

An outcome of a chance experiment is one of the things that can happen when you do the experiment.

A parabola is the set of points that are equidistant from a given point, called the focus, and a given line, called the directrix.

What does parallel mean in geometry?

Two lines that don't intersect are called parallel.

Define parallelogram.

A quadrilateral in which pairs of opposite sides are parallel.

What is a perpendicular bisector?

The perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line through the midpoint of the segment that is perpendicular to it.
