Angle : If two line segments (or rays) both start at a common point the opening between the two line segments is called an angle. The common point is called vertex of the angle. The size of an angle is measured in degrees.

Degree : For angles one degree is defined as the angle represented by a $\frac{1}{360}$ of the angle represented by a full circle. For measuring temperatures one can use either degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. In a polynomial the degree describes the highest exponent of $x$ that has a non-zero coefficient. For example the degree of $1+x+x^2$ is 2.

Right angle : A right angle is an angle equal to $90^{\circ}.$

Square : A square is a quadrilateral with four right angles and four equal length sides. A square is a special case of a rectangle and a special case of a rhombus.

Sum : A sum is the result of an addition.

Centimeter : A centimeter ($cm$) is $\frac{1}{100}$ of a meter.

Length : Length is the attribute of a one-dimensional shape that can be measured with a measuring tape.

Opposite side : In a quadrilateral the opposite side of a side refers to the side that does not share a corner with the original side.

Parallelogram : A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides. Rectangles, rhombuses and squares are special kinds of parallelograms.

Perimeter : The perimeter of a two-dimensional shape is the length of the boundary of the shape. For a polygon this is the same as the sum of all the side lengths. For example a triangle with side lengths 1, 2 and 3cm has a perimeter of 1+2+3=6cm. The perimeter of a circle is referred to as its circumference.

Sum : A sum is the result of an addition.

Expression : An expression is a succession of constants, variables and mathematical operations that if evaluated for specific values of the variables represents a number.

Variable : A letter in an expression or function that represents an arbitrary number.
