Polygon Vocabulary. You will be given a set of geometry cards.

With your partner group these cards in any way you want to. One table at a time will be asked to come to the board and add to a list of the properties that an be used to group the cards. In geometry the shapes are usually named using the number of sides and the types of angles. See the h t S th sheets called ll d Geometry Vocabulary Bingo Geometry terms handout Geometry terms flash cards Make a list of the vocabulary you dont know or print the sheets from the blog and use them.

Triangle Vocabulary: Triangle Names Using Sides: No equal sides: Two equal sides: Three equal sides: Scalene triangle Isosceles triangle Equilateral triangle

Triangle Names Using Angles: All angles less than 90 One angle equals 90 One angle more than 90 Acute triangle Right triangle Obtuse triangle

Give the name for the following triangles

Bisectors?
If an object is divided in half we say it has been bisected. Describe the following: A

BD bi sec ts ABC segment BD bisects angle ABC

B D

FH is the perpendicular bisector of EG

See page 413 for extra practice

Square. A quadrilateral with four 900 angles and four equal sides.

Rhombus. A quadrilateral with four equal sides.

Trapezoid. A quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides.

Questions using properties of quadrilaterals:

See the sheet QuadrilateralComparisonChart to help with these questions.

A rectangle is a trapezoid. True or False Look at the second shape mentioned. What properties are needed for a polygon to be a trapezoid? Only one pair of parallel sides? Does a rectangle have only pair of parallel sides? No. Therefore: False because a rectangle does not have only one pair of parallel sides. OR False because a rectangle has more than one pair of parallel sides

A square is a rectangle. True or False Look at the second shape mentioned. What properties are needed for a polygon to be a rectangle? Four 900 angles? Does a square have four 900 angles? Yes. Therefore: True because a square has four 900 angles.

Is every square a rhombus. What properties are needed for a polygon to be a rhombus? A quadrilateral with four equal sides? Is a square a quadrilateral with four equal sides? Yes. Therefore: Yes because a square has four equal sides.

A parallelogram is a kite. True or False What properties are needed for a polygon to be a kite? two pairs of equal sides the pairs have different lengths the sides with equal lengths are next to each other.? Does a parallelogram have all those things? D ll l h ll th thi ? No. Therefore: False because a parallelogram does not have the equal sides next to each other.
