Geometry Vocabulary

Imagine you're mapping a treasure hunt and you mark the starting point on your map. In geometric terms, how would you define this starting point?

• Location in space without size, shape, or dimension

• A point is a three-dimensional figure in space

• A point is a circle in space

• A point is an infinite line in space

Imagine you're drawing a map. What is the difference between using a straight line to represent a highway and a curved line to represent a river?

• A straight line is thicker than a curved line

• The straight line follows a constant direction, while the curved line changes direction.

• A straight line has more angles than a curved line

• A straight line is longer than a curved line

Imagine you are standing in front of a mirror. How would you describe the image you see in the mirror in terms of geometric transformations?

• It is the change in position of an object around an axis, such that the reflected image is a mirror image of the original object.

• It is the displacement of an object from one place to another

• It is the change in size of an object without changing its shape

• It is the rotation of an object around a fixed point
