perpendicular line segmentsTwo line segments that intersect at right
angles.
line segment
A part of a line between and including two
points called endpoints of the segment.
lineA 1-dimensional straight path that extends
forever in opposite directions.
rayA part of a line starting at the endpoint and
continuing forever in one direction.
right angleAn angle that is 90 degrees.
Vertex
The point at which the rays of an angle meet
Intersecting lines
Two lines that cross one another but do not for
a 90 degree angle.
convexA polygon in which all vertices appear to be
pushed outward
Concave
A polygon in which at least one vertex appear
to be pushed inward
Quadrangle
A four sided polygon.
Parallel linesLines in a plane that are the same distance
apart and never meet.
RectangleA parallelogram with all right angles.
Rhombus
A parallelogram with all sides the same length.
Trapezoid
A quadrilateral that has one pair of parallel
sides.
Parallelogram
A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel lines.
parallel rays
Two rays that are the same distance apart and
never meet.

of a circle and has endpoints on the circle.
