Angle
Made up of 2 rays joined together at a common point
called a vertex.
The angle is

Degrees
The unit of measure for angles.
Acute Angle
An angle measuring less than 90 but greater than 0.
Right Angle
An angle that measures 90.
Obtuse Angle
An angle measuring greater than 90 but less than 180.
Straight Angle
An angle measuring exactly 180.
Adjacent Angles
Two angles that share a common vertex and side.

Congruent
Figures are congruent if they have the same shape, size,
lines, and angles.
Similar Triangles
Triangles are similar if they have the same shape but
have different sizes.
Similar Polygons
Corresponding angles are congruent and
corresponding sides are proportional
