Square a rectangle having all four sides of equal length

Intersecting Line Segments line segments that cross each other

Acute Angle an angle less than 90 degrees but greater than 0 degrees

Chord the line segment between two points on a given curve

Radius a straight line extending from the center of a circle or sphere to the circumference or surface

Line Segment one part of a line

Line a continuous extent of length

Point a position in space

Parallelogram a quadrilateral having both pairs of opposite sides parallel to each other

Note: squares and rectangles are also quadrilaterals

Parallel Line Segments line segments that do not intersect

Quadrilateral a polygon with four sides

Note: squares, rectangles and trapezoids are also quadrilaterals

Octagon a polygon having eight angles and eight sides

Circle a closed plane curve consisting of all points at a given distance from a point within it called the center

Trapezoid a quadrilateral plane figure having two parallel and two nonparallel sides

Ray the part of a straight line considered as originating at a point on the line and as extending in one direction from that point

Closed Curve a curve that is continuous and has endpoints that meet at the same point

Isosceles Triangle a triangle which has two sides equal

Hexagon a polygon having six sides and six angles

Diameter a straight line passing through the center of a circle or sphere and meeting the circumference or surface at each end

Obtuse Angle an angle greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees
