Geometry Crossword
Across
- 3. The segment joining one vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex. Creates two equal segments from the base.
- 4. Created by two rays that share a common endpoint. They are in all polygons.
- 5. Figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. ______ can be kept by dilation, rotation, translation, and reflection.
- 8. A transformation that "slides" each point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. This is a rigid transformation.
- 11. An equation which states that two ratios are equal. Usually solved by cross multiplying.
- 12. A plane figure with all points the same distance from a center. Has no sides.
- 15. In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs. The equation is a2 + b2 = c2
- 16. The distance across a circle through its center. The line segment that includes the center and whose endpoints lie on the circle.
- 18. The set of all possible outcomes from an experiment. The sample space is made smaller in conditional probability.
- 19. Transformation that changes the size of a figure, but not the shape. Keeps similarity, but not congruence.
- 20. The point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle. It is the center of a triangle.
Down
- 1. Divides a segment or angle into two equal parts. Usually found through construction.
- 2. Polygons that have the same size, shape and measure. Two figures are ____ if all of their corresponding measures are equal.
- 6. Angles that have the same relative positions in geometric figures.
- 7. Two nonadjacent angles formed by intersecting lines or segments. These angles are always congruent.
- 9. A portion of the circumference of a circle. Found by multiplying the circumference by the arc over 360.
- 10. Two angles that add up to 90 degrees. Present in all right triangles.
- 13. Two or more events in which the outcome of one event affects the outcome of the other event or events. Usually on the y axis.
- 14. A line that crosses two or more parallel lines. Creates alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, complementary angles and etc.
