Grammatical Information:
a three-dimensional geometric shape that has a rectangular base and four triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex
Grammatical Information:
a three-dimensional geometric shape with two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface at a right angle to the bases
Grammatical Information:
a solid figure with a circular base and a vertex that is perpendicular to the center of the base
Grammatical Information:
a small circle whose center moves around the circumference of a larger circle
the longest side of a right-angled triangle, opposite the right angle, and defined as the side opposite the right angle in a right-angled triangle
the side of a geometric shape, usually the one considered as the bottom, from which the height is measured
a straight line from one side of a round object, particularly a circle, passing through the center and joining the other side
the length of a straight line drawn from the center of a circle to any point on its outer boundary
a point where two or more lines, edges, or rays meet to form an angle, or the point at which the sides of a polygon intersect
the total length of the external boundary of something
(geometry) the length of the external boundary of a curved shape, especially a circle
the measurement of a piece of land or a flat surface
the total area that the surface of a three-dimensional object occupies
Grammatical Information:
the amount of space that a substance or object takes or the amount of space inside an object
Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by a substance or object. It can also refer to the capacity or internal space within an object. Volume is typically measured in units such as liters or cubic meters and is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of an object or by using specific formulas for irregular shapes. In the context of liquids or gases, volume is often expressed as the amount of fluid that can be contained within a given container. Volume is a fundamental concept in physics, chemistry, engineering, and other scientific disciplines, and it plays a crucial role in various applications, including the design of containers and the measurement of quantities in everyday life.
a straight line that a curve approaches indefinitely but never intersects, characterizing the limiting behavior of the curve
a straight line that touches a curve or surface at exactly one point, known as the point of tangency
a measuring instrument used to measure and draw angles
A protractor is a tool used to measure and draw angles. It is usually a flat, semicircular or circular device marked with degree measurements from 0 to 180 or 360. The protractor has a straight edge for aligning with a line or point, while the curved side is used to measure the angle between two meeting lines. Protractors are commonly used in geometry, drafting, carpentry, and construction to ensure accurate angle measurements for various projects. They come in different sizes and types, including digital versions for easier reading.
a line that divides a shape into two congruent parts
Grammatical Information:
a series of numbers in which each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed, non-zero number
Grammatical Information:
one-fourth of a circle, formed by two perpendicular radii and the connecting arc
an angle formed between two sides of a polygon that lies inside the shape
Grammatical Information:
a straight line segment that connects two points on the edge of a circle
(of a straight line) joining opposite corners of a flat shape at an angle
(in geometry) describing shapes of the same size and form
having an equal distance from each other at every point
(of a line) intersecting two or more other lines at different points
(of lines or planes) intersecting each other at a 90 degree angle
to divide something into two equal parts
Grammatical Information:
(geometry) to move a shape or figure from one position to another without rotating, resizing, or otherwise altering its shape
Grammatical Information:
(geometry) a lack of symmetry or equivalence in shape or size between the two sides or parts of something
