Base of an isoscles triangle> - The side of an isosceles triangle not congruent to the other two sides. See base angle.
Bases of a trapezoid - The two parallel sides of a trapezoid.
Betweenness - The distance between two points is equal to the total distance from those points to a point directly between them.
Bilateral - Having a relationship between two sides. See symmetry.
Binomial - A polynomial with two terms. See the explanation on Factoring Polynomials.
