A point where two or more line segments meet. A corner. Examples: • any corner of a pentagon (a plane shape) • any corner of a tetrahedron (a solid) (The plural of vertex is "vertices".) See: Vertex (parabola) Vertices, Edges and Faces. Illustrated definition of Vertex: A point where two or more line segments meet.
What Is Vertex? Vertex is a point on a polygon where the sides or edges of the object meet or where two rays or line segments meet. The plural of a vertex is vertices. For example, in the above figures, points A, B, C, D, and E are vertices. History Vertex is part of Euclidean Geometry, first published in a book about Geometry in the late 19th ...
- A cone has a single vertex. There is only one point on the cone where its surface meets and forms an angle. Hence, only a single vertex forms in a...
- A cube has eight vertices. A cube is a three-dimensional object with six faces, twelve edges, and eight vertices.
- Any object with no straight edges or angles formed by edges does not have a vertex. Examples of objects without a vertex are circles, cylinders, an...
- A tetrahedron has four vertices. It also has six edges and four triangular faces.
: a point (as of an angle, polygon, polyhedron, graph, or network) that terminates a line or curve or comprises the intersection of two or more lines or curves. c. : a point where an axis of an ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola intersects the curve itself. 3. : a principal or highest point : summit. the vertex of the hill.
Definition: The common endpoint of two or more rays or line segments. Vertex typically means a corner or a point where lines meet. For example a square has four corners, each is called a vertex. The plural form of vertex is vertices. (Pronounced: "ver - tiss- ease").
A vertex in math is a point where two lines or rays meet forming an angle at that point and is denoted by uppercase letters like A, O, P, etc. The plural of vertex is vertices. In solid geometry, i.e., 3D geometry, shapes such as cubes, cuboids form several vertices. Whereas in 2D shapes such as polygons form only a vertex.
A vertex (vertices for plural) is a point at which two or more sides or edges of a geometric figure meet. Vertex of an angle. The vertex of an angle is the common endpoint of two rays that make up the angle's sides. The vertex for angle BAC, written ∠BAC, is point A. The angle can also be named as ∠CAB or by only its vertex, ∠A.
(in mathematics) the point where two lines meet to form an angle, or the point that is opposite the base of a shape: the vertex of a triangle / cone / pyramid. tumdee/iStock/Getty Image Plus/GettyImages. mathematics specialized. the highest point of something. Synonyms. apex (SUCCESS) figurative. peak (HIGHEST POINT) pinnacle (SUCCESS) the summit.
