Lines:
point ( . ) It is one spot or place.
line ( <-----> ) It never ends, so it has two arrows!
line segment ( ----- ) It has an end point on each side.
ray ( -----> ) It has one end point and one arrow.
Angles: straight = 180º (degrees)
right = 90º
acute = < 90º
obtuse = > 90º
A polygon is a closed figure with straight sides,
and a Quadrilateral is a polygon with 4 sides and 4 angles (quad = 4)
Some quadrilaterals have special names:
Trapezoid, Parallelogram, Rectangle, Rhombus, or Square.
Trapezoid: 1 or more pairs of parallel sides
Parallelogram: 2 pairs of parallel sides
Rectangle: 2 pairs of parallel sides AND 4 right angles
Rhombus: 2 pairs of parallel sides AND 4 sides of equal length
Square: 2 pairs of parallel sides AND 4 sides of equal length AND 4 right angles
