The area is a measure of the surface covered by a figure.
complementary angles
cone
A cone is a solid figure with one circular base and a vertex.
cube
A cube is a rectangular solid whose length, width, and height are equal.
cylinder
A cylinder is a solid figure with two parallel circles of the same size at the top and bottom.
equilateral triangle
A triangle with all three sides of equal length is called an equilateral triangle.
hypotenuse
The side of the triangle opposite the 90° angle is called the hypotenuse.
irregular figure
An irregular figure is a figure that is not a standard geometric shape. Its area cannot be calculated using any of the standard area formulas.
isosceles triangle
A triangle with two sides of equal length is called an isosceles triangle.
legs of a right triangle
The sides of a right triangle adjacent to the right angle are called the legs.
perimeter
The perimeter is a measure of the distance around a figure.
rectangle
A rectangle is a geometric figure that has four sides and four right angles.
right triangle
similar figures
In geometry, if two figures have exactly the same shape but different sizes, we say they are similar figures.
supplementary angles
trapezoid
A trapezoid is four-sided figure, a quadrilateral, with two sides that are parallel and two sides that are not.
triangle
A triangle is a geometric figure with three sides and three angles.
vertex of an angle
When two rays meet to form an angle, the common endpoint is called the vertex of the angle.

Key Concepts
- Problem Solving StrategyStep 1. Read the word problem. Make sure you understand all the words and ideas. You may need to read the problem two or more times. If there are words you don't understand, look them up in a dictionary or on the internet. Step 2. Identify what you are looking for. Step 3. Name what you are looking for. Choose a variable to represent that quantity. Step 4. Translate into an equation. It may be helpful to first restate the problem in one sentence before translating. Step 5. Solve the equation using good algebra techniques. Step 6. Check the answer in the problem. Make sure it makes sense. Step 7. Answer the question with a complete sentence.
- Finding the Total Value for Coins of the Same Type For coins of the same type, the total value can be found as follows: where number is the number of coins, value is the value of each coin, and total value is the total value of all the coins.
- Solve a Coin Word ProblemStep 1. Read the problem. Make sure you understand all the words and ideas, and create a table to organize the information. Step 2. Identify what you are looking for. Step 3. Name what you are looking for. Choose a variable to represent that quantity.Use variable expressions to represent the number of each type of coin and write them in the table. Multiply the number times the value to get the total value of each type of coin. Step 4. Translate into an equation. Write the equation by adding the total values of all the types of coins. Step 5.
