obtuse angle

an angle with the measurement greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees

approximation

an inexact result adequate for a given purpose

pentagon

any polygon with five sides

data

information, often numerical, which is gathered for statistical purposes

noncongruent

not having the same size and same shape

measures of central tendency

numbers that are used to describe the center of a set of data; included are mean, median, and mode

congruent

same size and same shape

range

the difference between the greatest number and the least number in a set of data

diameter

the distance across a circle through the center

circumference

the distance around the outside of a circle

radius

the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circle

face

the flat side of a solid figure

edge

the intersection of faces on a solid figure

perimeter

the measure of the distance around a polygon

length

the measurement of the extent of an object or shape along its greatest dimension

width

the measurement of the extent of an object or shape along its shortest dimension

median

the middle number in a set of data when the data are arranged in numerical order

coefficient

the number before a variable; for example, in the term 3x, then number 3 is the coefficient

area

the number of square units needed to cover the surface of a two dimensional figure

vertex

the point where the edges of a three dimensional figure intersect

pi

the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter of a circle; equal to the fraction 22/7; often written as the approximation 3.14
