What is a jimmel?

Jimmel - A Polygon with four or more sides with one tagged side. The tag is on a line and not on an angle. Within the jimmel there is a line between two verticies and all of the sides are straight lines. Dibble - A polygon made up of straight lines where one side is a mirror image to the other. The two sides are separated by a arc-line-arc. If the polygon has equal sides but is not separated by a arc-line-arc then it is not a dibble. All of the sides in a dibble are straight lines. )---------------( = arc-line-arc I think that it is silly for teachers to encourage children to make up words in fifth grade. Especially when I am encouraging my son to look everything up. How foolish would he have felt if I sent him on a search for this definition? Anyway, on the topic of made up words... Frindle by Andrew Clements is a book that my son enjoyed.


How does one find the length of an arc?

An arc length is the measure of the distance along the curved line making up the arc. It is longer than the straight line distance between the two end points.

A segment that connects two points on a circle?

It could be an arc (a curved portion of the circumference), a chord (the straight line distance between two points) , or a wedge (the plane area bounded by two radii and an arc).Remember the circle is a plane figure, not the curved line we draw. " A circle is bounded ... ."

What is the definition of an arc in math?

If it is a sector of a circle then the arc is the curved part of the circle which forms a boundary of the sector.
