Geometry Crossword
Across
- 1. a polygon where all sides have the exact same length.
- 5. a fundamental polygon in geometry consisting of three vertices (corners) connected by three straight line segments (edges).
- 6. mathematical equations used to calculate dimensions such as perimeter, area, surface area, and volume
- 7. any initial piece of information, condition, or statement that is accepted as true without requiring proof.
- 10. angle, is an angle that measures exactly \(0^{\circ }\) (or \(0\) radians). It is formed when two rays or lines share a common endpoint and completely overlap, pointing in the exact same direction.
- 11. the horizontal line (running left to right) on a Cartesian coordinate system or graph.
- 12. angles, the angle inside a closed shape where two adjacent sides meet.
- 14. a mathematical value that quantifies the size, extent, or magnitude of a geometric object.
- 18. next to or adjoining something else.
- 19. a set of numbers used to determine the exact position of a point, line, or object within a specific reference system or grid.
- 20. he longest side of a right triangle, opposite the right angle.
- 21. bisector, a line, ray, or segment that divides a given angle into two perfectly equal (congruent) smaller angles
- 24. something that is diametrically different or in direct contrast to something else.
- 26. a transformation that resizes a figure—making it larger (enlargement) or smaller (reduction)—while keeping its original shape and proportions intact.
- 27. angles, the angle formed by one side of a polygon and the line extended outward from the next adjacent side.
- 30. the vertical line on a standard coordinate plane or graph that runs up and down.
- 31. the result achieved when two or more numbers, known as factors, are multiplied together.
- 33. the third reference line in a 3D Cartesian coordinate system
- 39. something that is diametrically different or in direct contrast to something else.
- 40. a statement that has been proven to be true using logical reasoning, definitions, and previously established rules.
- 41. a plot of a mathematical function or a network of points connected by lines
- 42. x-intercept is the point where a line or curve crosses the horizontal \(x\)-axis on a graph. At this specific point, the vertical \(y\)-coordinate is always zero.
- 44. a four-sided quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of adjacent, equal-length sides.
- 46. points, lines, vectors, or shapes do not lie on the same flat two-dimensional surface (plane)
- 49. a comparison of two or more quantities that indicates how many times one value contains or relates to another.
- 50. the study of geometry using mathematical entities called vectors.
- 51. A regular quadrilateral with four equal sides and four equal 90-degree angles.
- 52. angles, pairs of opposite, non-adjacent angles formed by the intersection of two straight lines.
Down
- 2. formula, a closed, two-dimensional geometric shape with exactly four straight sides, four vertices (corners), and four interior angles.
- 3. a four-sided flat shape (a quadrilateral) with two pairs of parallel opposite sides.
- 4. hole, cut, or recess—created by removing material from a solid mass.
- 8. the entire, complete, and undivided version of an object, shape, or quantity before it is broken into parts or fractions.
- 9. a closed, two-dimensional geometric shape with exactly four straight sides, four vertices (corners), and four interior angles.
- 13. a line, ray, or segment that divides a geometric object—like a line segment or an angle—into two exactly equal parts
- 15. the scale factor used in dilations (resizing a shape).
- 16. a two-dimensional geometric shape with exactly seven straight sides and seven interior angles
- 17. identical in size and shape.
- 22. a subfield of geometry focused on figures in a straight-line context
- 23. a substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction.
- 25. the vertical distance of an object or point above a reference datum, most commonly mean sea level
- 28. the side of a polygon or the face of a polyhedron used as a reference to determine dimensions
- 29. the exact center of a line segment.
- 32. a straight line segment that passes through the exact center of a circle or sphere, with both endpoints resting on the boundary
- 34. a quantity of something, especially the total of a thing or things in number, size, value, or extent.
- 35. a tool that cuts away overlapping areas
- 36. the horizontal line (running left to right) on a Cartesian coordinate system or graph.
- 37. a two-dimensional geometric shape with exactly seven straight sides and seven interior angles
- 38. measures the steepness and direction of a line.
- 43. immutable physical laws linking mass to fundamental constants—rather than a physical artifact—using a Kibble balance that measures mass against Planck's constant, the speed of light, and the caesium-133 atom.
- 45. an educated guess or opinion formed on the basis of incomplete or inconclusive evidence.
- 47. an infinitely long, one-dimensional figure with no thickness.
- 48. the horizontal measurement of an object or shape, taken from side to side.
