Geometry Terms
Across
- 1. Segment from the vertex to the opposite side. Also is perpendicular to the opposite side.
- 5. 3 sides of a triangle are congruent to 3 sides of another triangle. Therefore this makes the 2 triangles congruent.
- 7. A triangle where all 3 sides are congruent and all 3 angles are congruent. Each angle must be 60 degrees.
- 12. A line perpendicular to another segment. Segments cross at the midpoint.
- 14. Assuming that a conclusion is false. Then showing that assuming led to a contradiction.
- 15. A parallelogram with 4 congruent sides and 4 right angles. Also is a rectangle and a rhombus.
- 18. Segment that connects midpoint of legs. Parallel to the base and measure is 1/2 the sum of base lengthsd.
- 19. 2 sides of a triangle are congruent. Then the angles that are opposite means those sides are congruent.
- 20. A parallelogram with 4 congruent sides. Diagonals are perpendicular to eachother.
Down
- 2. a+b>c and b+c>a. This makes a+c>b.
- 3. Point of concurrency for perpendicular bisector. Equidistant from each vertex.
- 4. When 2 angles and the non-included side of a triangle are congruent to 2 angles and the non-included side of another triangle. Therefore making the 2 triangles congruent.
- 6. Quadrilateral with exactly 2 pairs consecutive sides. Diagonals are perpendicular.
- 8. Point of concurrency of angle bisectors. Equidistant to each side of the triangle.
- 9. Point of concurrency of altitudes. Lines are perpendicular.
- 10. Indirect reasoning/proofs. Temporarily assuming that what we are trying to prove is false.
- 11. If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its diagonals bisect each other. If a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then each diagonals separates the parallelogram into 2 congruent triangles.
- 13. Sum of interior angles of n-sided polygon. (n-2)x180=sum of angles.
- 16. all angles are right angles. Opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
- 17. Point of concurrency of median. 2/3 of the distance form each vertex.
