Module 6 Vocabulary

Outcomes: The possible results.

Probability: A number from 0 to 1 that represents the likelihood of an event.

Probability =

Experimental probability: The number of desired outcomes divided by the total number of trials.

Relative frequency: The number of desired outcomes divided by the total number of trials.
Module 6 Advanced

Hypotenuse: The longest side of a right triangle; side opposite from the right angle.

Legs: The two shorter sides of a right triangle; the sides that meet at 90 degrees.

Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2, where a and b are the legs of a right triangle and c is the
hypotenuse.

Pythagorean triple: A set of positive integers that fits the rule a2 + b2 = c2.

Right triangle: A triangle with a 90-degree angle.

Two dimensional (2D): An object that has width and length but no thickness (depth); examples
include squares, circles, and triangles.

Three dimensional (3D): An object that has width, length, and depth; examples include cubes,
prisms, spheres, and cones.

Coordinate plane (or Cartesian plane): An x-axis and y-axis that meet at a right angle at a
center point called the origin; a graph.

Ordered pair: A coordinate or point written in the form of (x, y).

Origin: The center of a coordinate plane, expressed with the ordered pair (0,0); where the x-axis
and y-axis intersect.

x-axis: The horizontal number line of the coordinate plane.

y-axis: The vertical number line of the coordinate plane.

Base: The surface on which an object rests.

Cone: A three-dimensional object with one circular base that tapers to a point (vertex) at the
other end.

Cylinder: A three-dimensional object with a flat, circular base on top and bottom.

Diameter: A straight line going from one side of a circle to the other through the center.

Height: The vertical distance from top to bottom that creates a 90-degree angle with the base.

Radius: The distance from the center to the edge of a circle; half of the diameter.

Sphere: A three-dimensional, closed surface that is equally distant from a fixed center.

Inverse operation: The opposite of a math operation; the opposite of addition is subtraction and
the opposite of multiplication is division.
