Geometry Crossword Puzzle
Across
- 4. a pair of angles that share a common side and a common vertex, but do not overlap.
- 7. a straight path that extends indefinitely in both directions.
- 10. logical statement that can be derived from another statement by negating both the hypothesis and the conclusion and then reversing their order.
- 13. Let ABC be any given triangle. Let O be the circumcenter and K be the symmedian point of triangle ABC. The circle with OK as diameter is the Brocard circle of triangle ABC. The line through O perpendicular to the line BC intersects the Brocard circle at another point A'. The line through O perpendicular to the line CA intersects the Brocard circle at another point B'. The line through O perpendicular to the line AB intersects the Brocard circle at another point C'. (The triangle A'B'C' is the Brocard triangle of triangle ABC.) Let LA be the line through A parallel to the line B'C', LB be the line through B parallel to the line C'A' and LC be the line through C parallel to the line A'B'. Then the three lines LA, LB and LC are concurrent. The point of concurrency is the (point name) of triangle ABC.
- 14. a line that intersects two or more other lines at distinct points.
- 15. a statement that has been proven to be true through logical reasoning and deduction based on previously established facts or axioms.
- 17. the measurement of the size of a surface or a two-dimensional shape.
- 18. a line segment from the center of the polygon to the midpoint of one of its sides, forming a right angle with that side.
- 21. a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect.
Down
- 1. a type of quadrilateral with all four sides of equal length.
- 2. the point where the three angle bisectors of the triangle intersect.
- 3. the total distance around the outside of a two-dimensional shape.
- 5. the distance around the edge of a closed curve or a circle.
- 6. If and only if.
- 8. a fundamental element that represents a specific location in space.
- 9. a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints.
- 11. the point where the three altitudes of the triangle intersect.
- 12. a line segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.
- 16. the point that divides the segment into two equal parts.
- 19. a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.
- 20. the point where the three medians of the triangle intersect.
