Keywords Used in Geometry

This video tutorial introduces key geometry terms such as congruence, parallelism, polygons, hypotenuse, quadrilaterals, adjacency, and bisecting. It explains the meaning and application of these terms in geometry, providing a foundational understanding for students to recognize and use them in lessons or exams.
