is a flat surface which
extends infinitely long
Definition: Flat surface;
Extends infinitely long
in all directions.

Collinear Points

on the same line.

Vertical Angles
I chose this because
the angles on the
scissors are vertical.
Definition: Vertical
Angles are the angles
opposite each other
when two lines cross.
They are always equal.

Acute Triangle
I chose this because all the
angles on the chip is under 90
degrees
Definition: The acute angle is
the small angle which is less
than 90 degrees

Obtuse Triangles
I chose this because the
roof on the house is an
obtuse triangle.
Definition: A triangle that
has an angle greater than
90

Right Triangles
I chose this because the
side of this bird house is

Definition: A right triangle
is a triangle in which one
angle is a right angle,
which is a 90-degree
angle.

Equilateral Triangles
I chose this because the
angles are all equal to 60
degrees.
Definition: equilateral
triangles are also
equiangular; that is, all three
internal angles are also
congruent to each other and
are each 60.

Isosceles Triangles
I chose this because 2 sides of the
clothes are the same length
Definition: an isosceles triangle is a
triangle that has two sides of equal
