Composite figure - CORRECT-ANSWER-a combination of other figures
Cone - CORRECT-ANSWER-a 3-dimensional figure whose base is a circle and
whose height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the vertex
Congruent figures - CORRECT-ANSWER-geometric figures with exactly the same
shape and same size
Cosine - CORRECT-ANSWER-for an acute angle in a right triangle, the ratio of the
adjacent side to the hypotenuse; abbreviated as cos

Cube - CORRECT-ANSWER-a 3-dimensional figure that contains six square faces.
At each vertex, all sides meet at right angles.
Cylinder - CORRECT-ANSWER-a 3-dimensional figure that has both a circular base
and a circular top, and whose height is the perpendicular distance from the top to
the bottom
Degree - CORRECT-ANSWER-the unit of measurement for angles. One degree is
1/360 of a circle
Diameter - CORRECT-ANSWER-the distance across and through the center of a
circle
Dimension - CORRECT-ANSWER-a measurement of length in one direction.
Examples: width, depth and height are dimensions. A line has one dimension, a
square has two dimensions

an observer must look to see an object that is higher than the observer.
Equilateral triangle - CORRECT-ANSWER-a triangle with three equal sides and
three equal angles, each measuring 60 degrees

system
Meter - CORRECT-ANSWER-the standard unit of length in the metric system
Midpoint - CORRECT-ANSWER-The point halfway between the endpoints of a line
segment that divides a line segment into two equal segments. By definition, a
midpoint of a line segment is the point on that line segment that divides the
segment two congruent segments.
