Geometry

straightedge, unmarked

Mathematics; Geometry

Just how it sounds, an unmarked tool used to draw straight lines.

sufficient condition

Mathematics; Geometry

A version of a conditional that tells you when you can use the term defined, where the term is in the consequent; a condition that implies a preset conclusion; see meaning.

supplementary angles

Mathematics; Geometry

2 angles whose measures, when added together, equal 180 degrees.

similar figures

Mathematics; Geometry

Two figures that have a similarity transformation mapping one onto the other; written F~G.

similarity transformation

Mathematics; Geometry

A transformation that is the composite of size changes and/or reflections.

size change

Mathematics; Geometry

Let A be a point and k be a positive real number. For any point B, let T(B) = B' be the point on with OP' = K*OP. Then S is the size change with center A and magnitude k. See transformation.

size change factor

Mathematics; Geometry

Size change magnitude.
