Important Definitions

Definitions: 1. Acute Angle:

An angle less than 90 is called Acute Angle.

2. Acute Triangle:
A triangle that has all angles less than 90 is called Acute Triangle.

3. Additive Identity:
Adding zero to a number leaves it unchanged is called Additive Identity. Ex: a+0 0+a a

4. Additive Inverse:
!hat you add to a number to get zero is called Additive Inverse. Exam"le: The additive inverse o# $% is %& because $% + % The additive inverse o# +% is $% as 'ell.

0.

5. Adjacent Angles:
(ying next to each other. )ere a and b are ad*acent angles.

6. Angle:
The amount o# turn bet'een t'o straight lines that have a common end "oint +the vertex, is called Angle.

7. Anticolockwise:
-oving in the o""osite direction to the hands on a cloc. is called

Anticloc.'ise. Also called /ountercloc.'ise +01 English,. Angles are usually measured anticloc.'ise.

. A!!ro"i#ation:
2ot exact& but close enough to be used is called A""roximation. Exam"le: i# the bus ride ta.es %3 minutes& you could say 4A one hour bus ride4& that 'ould be an a""roximation. 9. Arc: 5art o# the circum#erence +edge, o# a circle is called Arc.

1$. Arc %engt&:

The distance along the arc is called Arc (ength. 6or a circle: Arc (ength 78r +'hen 7 is in radians, Arc (ength +7 8 9:;<0, 8 r +'hen 7 is in degrees,

11. Arit&#etic:
The basic calculations 'e ma.e in everyday li#e: addition& subtraction& multi"lication and division is called Arithmetic. It also includes #ractions and "ercentages +related to division, and ex"onents +related to multi"lication,.

12. Average:
A calculated 4central4 value o# a set o# numbers is called Average.

13. A"is 'geo#etry(

An imaginary line around 'hich something rotates is called Axis +geometry,.

14. )ircle:
A =$dimensional sha"e made by dra'ing a curve that is al'ays the same distance #rom a center is called /ircle.

15. )ircu#*erence:
The distance around the edge o# a circle is called /ircum#erence.

16. )lockwise:
-oving in the direction o# the hands on a cloc. is called /loc.'ise.

17. )o#!le#entary Angle
