 * < **Vocabulary Word** ||< **Definition** ||< **Picture** ||
 * < 1. Line ||< a straight line that has no end in either direction ||< [[image:line_cmp.jpg width="196" height="48" align="center"]] ||<  ||
 * < 2. Line Segment ||< consists of two points of a line and all the points between these two points ||< [[image:line_segment_cmp.jpg width="214" height="64" align="center"]] ||
 * < 3. Polygon ||< a shape formed by line segments, called sides, so that each of the segments meets exactly two other segments, and all of the points where the segments meet are endpoints of the segments ||< [[image:Polygons.jpg width="213" height="415" align="center"]] ||
 * < 4. Sides ||< the line on the edge of a shape joining its vertices ||<  ||
 * < 5. Vertex/Vertices ||< point where sides meet ||<  ||
 * < 6. Equilateral Triangle ||< a triangle with 3 equal sides and 3 equal angles ||< [[file:ray.htm]] ||
 * < 7. Isosceles Triangle ||< a triangle with 2 equal sides and 2 equal angles ||<  ||
 * < 8. Scalene Triangle ||< a triangle with no equal sides and no equal angles ||<  ||
 * < 9. Square ||< a quadrilateral with 4 equal sides and 4 right angles, opposite sides are parallel, two diagonals that bisect at right angles, 4 lines of symmetry ||<  ||
 * < 10. Rectangle ||< a quadrilateral with 4 right angles and 2 pairs of opposite equal parallel sides ||<  ||
 * < 11. Parallelogram ||< a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are parallel and of equal length and opposite angles that are equal ||<  ||
 * < 12. Reflection Symmetry ||<  ||<   ||
 * < 13. Line of Symmetry ||<  ||<   ||
 * < 14. Rotation Symmetry ||<  ||<   ||
 * < 15. Point of Rotation ||<  ||<   ||
 * < 16. Regular Polygon ||< A polygon that has all of its sides equal and all of its angles equal. ||< [[image:regular.jpg width="152" height="161" align="center"]] ||
 * < 17. Irregular Polygon ||< A polygon which has at least two sides with different lengths or two angles with different measures. ||< [[image:not_regular.jpg width="133" height="135" align="center"]] ||
 * < 18. Tiling ||< Also called a tessellation.The filling of a plane surface with geometric shapes without gaps or overlaps.These shapes are usually regular polygons or other common polygons. ||< [[image:tiling.jpg width="209" height="96" align="center"]] ||
