2. -Point • a geometric element that has position but no extension; "a point is defined by its coordinates"

3. -Line (segment) • a line is a straight path that has no thickness and does not extend forever.

4. -Plane • a flat surface that has no thickness and extends forever.

5. -Angle • A figure formed by two rays with a common endpoint.

6. -perpendicular lines • Intersecting lines to form 90 degree angles.

7. -parallel lines • Lines in the same plane that don’t intersect.

8. -Triangle • A three-sided polygon.

9. -Right triangle • A triangle with one right angle.

15. -parallelogram • Quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.

16. -circle • The set of points in a plane that are a fixed distance from a given point called the center of a circle.

17. -cylinder • A three-dimensional figure with two parallel congruent circular bases and a curved lateral surface that connects the bases.

18. -sphere • The set of points in a space that are a fixed distance from a given point called the center of the sphere.
