What is the definition of a point in geometry?

Back

A point is a precise location or position in space, typically represented by a dot.

Front

What is a line segment?

Back

A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints.

Front

Define a ray in geometry.

Back

A ray is a part of a line that starts at a point and extends infinitely in one direction.

Front

What is the difference between acute, right, and obtuse angles?

Back

An acute angle is less than 90 degrees, a right angle is exactly 90 degrees, and an obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

The area of a triangle is given by the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

Define parallel lines.

Back

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that never meet; they are always the same distance apart.

Front

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides: a² + b² = c².

Front

What is a polygon?

Back

A polygon is a closed figure formed by a finite number of straight line segments connected end to end.

Front

Define a circle and its components.

Back

A circle is a set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point called the center. Components include radius (distance from center to any point on the circle) and diameter (distance across the circle through the center).

Front

What is the formula for the circumference of a circle?

Back

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula: Circumference = 2 * π * radius.
