Terminology

Applications of Terminolgy

In physics, terminology is the set of words, symbols, and ideas that is used in a particular field of study. The choice of terminology in a particular field can have a significant effect on the clarity of an expression and on the ease with which it can be understood by both humans and machines.

Area and Perimeter

In mathematics, the area of a shape or surface is a number representing the amount of "surface" of the shape or surface. For two-dimensional shapes or surfaces, area is usually defined as the number of square units needed to cover the shape or surface. For example, the area of a rectangle is the number of square units needed to cover it, and the area of a circle is the number of square units needed to surround it. The area is a special case of the volume of a three-dimensional shape or surface, and the surface area is a special case of the volume of a solid.

Perimieter and Area Practice

In geometry, the perimeter (also called circumference) of a polygon is the distance around it. The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. The perimeter of a polygon is the distance around any closed figure formed by joining the vertices of the polygon together with straight line segments. The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around it. The perimeter of a square is the distance around it. The perimeter of a triangle is the distance around it. The perimeter of a regular polygon is the distance around it. The perimeter of a circle is the distance around it. The perimeter of a regular polygon is the distance around it.

Terminology cont.

In physics, the term "particle" is used to refer to a small localized object to which can be attributed several physical properties such as volume or mass. The concept of a particle is a theoretical one similar to a photon, which is a particle of light, or an electron, which is a particle of electricity. The term "particle" is also used to refer to a type of subatomic particle, but it also has a very specific meaning within nuclear and particle physics.

Terminology points lines planes segments and rays

In geometry, a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points, and contains every point on the line between its endpoints. A closed line segment includes both endpoints. Otherwise, a line segment is either open or closed. The endpoints of a line segment are called its endpoints, its "tails", or its "ends".
