Across
- 1. The point where concurrent lines meet.
- 4. Three or more lines that meet at a common point.
- 7. A point on the bisector of an angle is ____________________ from the sides of the angle.
- 10. Another name for an indirect proof is proof by _________________.
- 11. The Angle-Side Inequality states that the Shortest Side is across from the ______________ ____________ in a triangle.
- 13. A segment from the vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side.
- 14. The Incenter Theorem tells us that the incenter is equidistant from the _________ of a triangle.
- 16. The point where the angle bisectors of a triangle meet.

- 12. The point where the altitudes of a triangle meet.
- 15. A type of reasoning in which you assume a conclusion is false, then show that this leads to a contradiction.
- 17. The centroid theorem states that the centroid is ______ _________ the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
