Algebra 2 Honors Vocabulary: Part 1

The distance from zero that a number is on the number line without considering direction

• Abscissa

• Absolute value

• Additive inverse

• Algorithm

The distance point from the Y axis scaled with the x axis

• Abcissa

• Acute angle

• Alternate exterior angles

• Algorithm

An angle measuring less than 90°

• Obtuse angle

• Acute angle

• Adjacent angles

• Common divisor

The operation of taking a number to its additive inverse, which is also known as sine change. For a real number, it reverses its sign. As the additive inverse, the opposite number, of a positive number is a negative, and the additive inverse of a negative number is positive.

• Alternate interior angles

• Acute angles

• Circumference

• Additive inverse

Angles that have a common size and common vertex as they are directly next to each other, and do not overlap

• Alternate exterior angles

• Algorithm

• Box and whisker plot

• Adjacent angles

A set of instructions for solving a problem, or accomplishing a task

• Algorithm

• Bisect

• Circle

• Arithmetic sequence

Angles that have different vertices as they lie on alternate sides of the transversal, and are in between the interior of two lines.

• Alternate exterior angles

• Alternate interior angles

• Coefficient

• Area

A pair of angles that are outside of the two parallel lines, but on either side of the transversal.

• Alternate exterior angles

• Alternate interior angles

• Base 10

• Binary

A line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the side opposite of the vertex, as it is, used to find the height of an object or point

• Chord

• Coefficient

• Area

• Altitude

The total space taken up by a flat, two dimensional surface or shape of an object

• Volume

• Area

• Circumference

• Diameter
