Congruent
|
Same shape and size
|
Line of symmetry
|
Divides a figure into 2 congruent parts. If you fold the figure along its line of symmetry the parts match
|
Hatch marks
|
Are used to mark up equal sides and equal angles on a figure
|
Equilateral triangle
|
These triangles are congruent. They have 3 equal sides, 3 equal angles and 3 lines of symmetry.
|
Isosceles triangle
|
2 equal sides, 2 equal angles and 1 line of symmetry
|
Scalene triangle
|
No equal sides, no equal angles and no lines of symmetry
|
Right angle
|
Two lines that meet in a square corner make a 90 angle
|
Parallel
|
Two lines that are always the same distance apart
|
Quadrilateral
|
A four sided figure
|
Square
|
4 congruent sides, 2 pairs of parallel sides, 4 right angles, 4 lines of reflective symmetry |
Rectangle
|
2 pairs of congruent opposite sides, 2 pairs of parallel sides, 4 right angles, 2 lines of reflective symmetry |
Parallelogram
|
2 pairs of congruent opposite sides, 2 pairs of parallel sides, 2 pairs of congruent opposite angles, no line of reflective symmetry |
Rhombus
|
4 congruent sides, 2 pairs of parallel sides, 2 pairs of congruent opposite angles, 2 lines of reflective symmetry |
Trapezoid
|
1 pair of parallel sides (only the special isosceles trapezoid have a pair of congruent opposite sides) |
Kite
|
2 pairs of congruent adjacent sides, 1 pair of congruent opposite angles, 1 line of reflective symmetry |
