A line segment on the interior of a circle. A chord has both

endpoints on the circle.

Page 4: Mathematics Dictionary 2009

A complete circular arc. Circumference also means the distance around the outside of a circle.

(x + 2)(x + 5) = x(x + 5) + 2(x + 5)                       = x · x + x·5 + 2·x + 2·5                       = x2 + 7x + 10

To multiply out the parts of an expression. Distributing is the opposite of factoring.

monomials: 5x3, 8,

and 4xy.

A polynomial with one term.

A polygon with four sides.

Page 19: Mathematics Dictionary 2009

A quadrilateral which has a pair of opposite sides which are parallel. The parallel sides are called the bases, and the other two sides are called the legs.
