Parallel Lines• Two lines are parallel if they lie in the

same plane and do not intersect. If the slats in the blinds were not

opened parallel we could not see Johns beautiful eyes looking into the principals office window.

Two Congruent ObjectsTwo objects that have the same

measurements for corresponding parts.If the desks weren't congruent they

would look different and then they wouldn’t be uniform there for the school would not be as stylish.

Vertical AnglesTwo angles who sides from two pairs of

opposite rays.If Troy did not have his hands

up and his feet spreadwhile he was dancing in High School Musical 2 hemight have fallen (and he

would not have looked as cool).

Perpendicular LinesLines that intersect and form right

angles.If the lines were not perpendicular the

Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry crest would look disorderly and off balance and there-

for no young witches and wizards would wantto go there.

Intersecting LinesTwo or more lines that meet at a

common point.If the lines in Harry Potters scar did not

intersect the kids at school might not have known who Harry was on the first day.

Supplementary AnglesTwo angles are supplementary if the

sum of their measures is 180.If the desk and Ms. Halseys angles did

not equal 180 she would slide off the desk or she would be crooked and that would be silly.

Corresponding AnglesLie on the same side of the

transversal and in corresponding positions relative to l and m.

If there were not corresponding angles there would not be a consistent place to put the locks on the

lockers, therefore they would just be cubbies.

AdjacentTwo things lying next to each other.

Obtuse AngleAn angle which measurements are greater

than 90 degrees.

Regular PolygonA polygon that is both equilateral and

equiangular, its center in the center of the circumscribed circle.

Vertex AngleThe angle between two congruent

legs.

Isosceles Triangle Triangle that has, at least, two

congruent sides.

Right TriangleA triangle that contains one right

angle.

HypotenuseThe side of a right triangle opposite the

right angle.

Duke in his school dorm

PythagorasGreek philosopher, mathematician, and

religious reformer.
