Across
- 2. The set of points in space at a fixed distance (its radius) from a point (its center).
- 3. A polyhedron in which all but one of the polygonal faces intersect at a single point known as the vertex of the pyramid. The side which does not intersect at the vertex is called the "base".
- 4. In a triangle or trapezoid, the segment from a vertex perpendicular to the line containing the opposite side
- 6. the theorem that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
- 9. a triangle or trapezoid, the segment from a vertex perpendicular to the line containing the opposite side
- 13. solid having bases or ends that are parallel, congruent polygons and sides that are parallelograms.
- 14. the distance from the vertex to any point on the circumference of the base.
- 16. Half a circle. The arc of a circle whose endpoints are the endpoints of a diameter of the circle
- 18. point two sides of a polygon have in common. The point of intersection of the sides of an angle.
- 19. the bottom support of anything; that on which a thing stands or rests
- 20. The perimeter of a circle, which is found by multiplying its diameter times pi.
- 24. a perpendicular line drawn from one extremity of an arc of a circle to the diameter that passes through its other extremity.
- 25. The sum of the areas of the faces of a solid.
- 27. A circle that is drawn around the outside of a triangle and contains all the vertices of the triangle. A circle is circumscribed about a polygon if each vertex of the polygon lies on the circle.
- 30. A quadrilateral with all sides of the same length.
- 32. An angle measured from the horizontal plane downward from an observer's eye to a given point below the plane.
- 36. The ratio leg adjacent to the angle divided by the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
- 37. Measurement of the space inside a three-dimensional, or solid figure. The number of unit cubes or parts of unit cubes that can be fit into a solid.
Down
- 1. On a line, the set consisting of the distinct points
- 3. The sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon or the length of the boundary of a closed region.
- 5. the faces of the lateral surface of a prism, or a face of a pyramid that is not a base
- 6. an ordered triple (x, y, z) of three positive integers such that x2 + y2 = z2.
- 7. the area of the lateral surface of a solid
- 8. the segment whose endpoints are points on a circle (or sphere) that contains the center of the circle as its midpoint; the length of that segment
- 10. a segment whose endpoints are corresponding points of a cylindric solid's bases, or whose endpoints are the vertex of a conic solid and a vertex of its base
- 11. The set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a given point known as its center
- 12. the side of a right triangle opposite the right angle.
- 15. An angle whose vertex is on the circle and whose sides each intersect the circle at a point other than the vertex.
- 17. The points of a circle that are on or in the exterior of an angle
- 20. The surface of a cylindric solid whose base is a circle.
- 21. The points of a circle that are on or in the interior of an angle
- 22. An angle measured from the horizontal plane upward from an observer's eye to a given point above the plane.
- 23. a line or a plane that touches a curve or a surface at a point so that it is closer to the curve in the vicinity of the point than any other line or plane drawn through the point.
- 26. The figure bounded by two radii and the included arc of the circle.
- 28. An angle with its vertex at the center of the circle.
- 29. A cylinder formed when the two circular bases are directly across from each other. The walls of a right cylinder are perpendicular to both bases.
- 31. A union of three or more coplanar segments (its sides) such that each segment intersects exactly two others, one at each of its endpoints (its vertices).
- 32. a perpendicular from the center of a regular polygon to one of its sides.
- 33. a solid figure having many faces.
- 34. a straight line extending from the center of a circle or sphere to the circumference or surface
- 35. A quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent congruent sides
