    Corresponding angles,
    always the same.
    In two parallel lines,
    that’s how they got their
    name.

    Alternate interior angles,
    locked in a room.
    They always stay inside,
    expressing their gloom.

    Alternate exterior angles,
    always outside,
    they like to be free,
    but not side by side.

  3. Similarity is like a mother and a daughter,
    like a father and a son,
    never the same size,
    but always the same shape.

    Similarity is not the exact clone,
    but is a model of an object,
    Like a barbie and a human,
    or like a model racecar and a real racecar.

    Dilation is like a puppy growing into a dog,
    or like a balloon running out of air,
    shrinking or expanding in size,
    either double, triple, or quadruple in size.

    Dilation is like your pupil,
    getting smaller when bright,
    and getting bigger when dark,
    you use a scale factor to enlarge or shrink.

    REMEMBER, BOTH ARE NEVER EVER EVER THE SAME SIZE.

    Fear No More

    No need to dread the formula for a polygon
    (n-2)*180 is a very straightforward equation
    Magic Method to find the total degrees of a polygon
    The system is easy as a pie, a piece of cake

    No need to fear the polygons
    Only slice of pizza, piece of paper, and an octopus
    Children, kids, teenagers,
    Be more confident with polygons

    Round and circular circle like an eye ball
    No even lines
    And is not a polygon

  6. Tik Tok Clock

    The time is midnight, a 0 degree!
    Taking 1 hour, make a 30 degree!
    Go back 2 hours more, now have a 90 degree!
    Two complementary angles, a 90 degree!
    That’s our complementary angle, going tik tok.

    The time is 3:00 in the morning, a 90 degree!
    Adding 3 hours more, makes two 90 degree!
    Two supplementary angles, a 180 degree!
    That’s our supplementary angle going tik tok.

    Look at the world around you,
    You’ll see complements and supplements!
    Books, keyboards, notes, and even the clock on the side!
    Two magical angles forming one full angle.

    Equal like two seats in the bus
    Like a reflection in the mirror
    Both equal in size and angle

    Two lenses of a glasses aren't comparable
    seeing that it has same length and width
    Reminds me of pair of sock

    SSS is the sound of three snakes that are all the same
    SAS is the sound of three bacteria that has a angle between them
    ASA is an insurance company that has two same angles on the side of them

    Translation is sliding
    But it is not rotating
    It is same in size,
    Only the location changes
    Translation is smoothly slipping,
    Around the coordinate plane

    Rotation,
    one of the transformations
    that move around in the same degrees
    Never moving in any direction

    The rotations are similar to a clock
    moving clockwise or counter clockwise.
    Switching the x and y coordinates
    Even moving around 180 degrees facing the original

    It’s always the same
    Always unchanged
    But different positions
    Where it had flipped

    When the polygon has been flipped over the y axis
    Then the x coordinate has been multiplied by -1
    When the polygon has been flipped o ver the x axis
    Then the y coordinate has been multiplied by -1

    It is just as we look in the mirror
    Not slid but flipped
    But the same shape
    as it had been reflected
