Does anyone know a geometry term that starts with G, J, or N?

Question

We have to make alphabet book things for geometry using geometry terms. For example, for A I used acute angle, for B I used Bisect, and for C I used complementary angle

Answer 1

Net
- a 2-D figure that can be folded on its segments or curved on its boundaries to form a 3-D figure; see article here

Network
- a group of nodes and arcs

N-gon
- a polygon with n sides

Node
- a description of a point in a network where it is possible for two different segments to share the same endpoints

Nonagon
- a nine-sided polygon

Nonconvex set
- a set of points in which not all segments connecting points of the set lie entirely in the set; synonym: concave; see convex set

Non-Euclidean geometry
- solid geometry

Non-included side
- the side of a triangle that is not included by 2 given angles

Non-overlapping regions
- regions that don't share interior points

Nonperspective drawing
- a three-dimensional drawing that doesn't use perspective

Null set
- a set with nothing in it

Number line
- a coordinatized line




Geometric mean
- the number g such that for two numbers a and b, a over g = g over b

Given
- information assumed to be true in a proof

Glide reflection
- a type of composite transformation where a figure is reflected and then translated in a parallel direction

Goldback's Conjecture
- if n is an even number greater than 2, then there are always 2 prime numbers whose sum is n

Grade
- the tilt of a real-life object in relation to the horizontal, often used to determine how steep a hill is

Graph theory
- the mathematics of complicated networks

Great circle
- the circle formed by the intersection of a sphere and the plane that contains its center and that divides the sphere into two hemispheres; see small circle

Grid
- a tesselation of congruent squares sometimes used to measure distance





and I looked on like 10 different sites and couldn't find a j one...good luck with that!

Answer 2

G- Glide Reflection Golden Ratio Golden Rectangle Great Circle

Answer 3

I found this geometric figure called the Judd Illusion.

A picture of it can be found here:

http://www.cut-the-knot.org/Curriculum/Geometry/JuddIllusion.shtml

Clicking on the link "a few words" below the sliders gives a quick explanation.

Hope that helps. Gotta hate that last outlying word--I remember having to do this about the US Constitution. Uuuugh.

Answer 4

do you graph things in Geometry? i know it's shapes and stuff, but that was four years ago, so i forget. But that could be a G.

Joint for J? (no, not THAT joint....lol)

Nonagon works for N

Answer 5

glide reflection-
A glide reflection is a combination of two transformations: a reflection over a line followed by a translation in the same direction as the line.
net-
A net is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional object.
i cant think of any ones that start with j either ^.^"

Answer 6

g - geometer, one who does geometry. I'm not sure if that'll fly, but it's worth a try if you can't find anything else.

n - nonagon, a nine-sided polygon

No thoughts on j yet, but I'll keep thinking.

Answer 7

How about: Width, Gradient, Grade, Juncture, Junction

Answer 8

N-Node or Network
J-Justification
G-Graph theory (ties in with networks)

Answer 9

N nonagon
G geometric inequalities
J ...cant find anything for J...sorry;

Answer 10

You might be interested in the list at
http://www.mathwords.com/index_geometry.htm

But, you won't find anything there that begins with "J".
