Geometry of Design Key terms
Across
- 1. (π) The numerical value of the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter of approximately 3.14159.
- 2. A solid composed of two congruent circles in parallel planes, their interiors, and all the line segments parallel to the axis with endpoints on the two circles
- 6. A curve formed at the interior intersection between two or more surfaces
- 8. The curved upper surface of a liquid column that is concave when the containing walls are wetted by the liquid and convex when not.
- 11. The number of square units required to cover a surface.
- 12. triangle A triangle with one angle that is greater than 90 degrees.
- 13. axis The lines of intersection created from three mutually perpendicular planes, with the three planes’ point of intersection at the centroid of the part
- 18. The amount of three-dimensional space occupied by an object or enclosed within a container.
- 19. The measure of mass density is a measure of mass per volume
- 21. area The squared dimensions of the exterior surface.
- 23. A four-sided polygon with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.
- 24. Each angular point of a polygon, polyhedron, or other figure.
- 27. A triangle located round a polygon such as a circle. 2 To draw a figure around another, touching it at points but not cutting it
- 29. A straight line from the center to the circumference of a circle or sphere.
- 30. A polygon with three sides.
- 31. A straight or curved line that intersects a circle or arc at one point only.
- 32. Any plane figure bounded by straight lines.
- 33. A regular polygon with four equal sides and four 90 degree angles.
Down
- 1. A solid geometric figure whose two ends are similar, equal, and parallel rectilinear figures, and whose sides are parallelograms.
- 3. A straight line passing from side to side through the center of a circle or sphere.
- 4. A round plane figure whose boundary consists of points equidistant from the center
- 5. An imaginary line through a body, about which it rotates. 2. An imaginary line about which a regular figure is symmetrically arranged. 3. A fixed reference line for the measurement of coordinates.
- 7. triangle triangle that contains only angles that are less than 90 degrees
- 9. To draw a figure within another so that their boundaries touch but do not intersect
- 10. Two or more exterior surfaces rounded at their intersections.
- 11. The amount of rotation needed to bring one line or plane into coincidence with another, generally measured in radians or degrees.
- 14. A parallelogram with 90 degree angles. A square is also a rectangle
- 15. A shape generated by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points (the foci) is constant and equal to the major axis
- 16. block A table located in the bottom right-hand corner of an engineering drawing that identifies, in an organized way, all of the necessary information that is not given on the drawing itself.
- 17. polygon A polygon with equal angles and equal sides.
- 20. A four-sided polygon
- 22. of gravity A 3D point where the total weight of the body may be considered to be concentrated
- 25. The amount of matter in an object or the quantity of the inertia of the object.
- 26. triangle A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.
- 28. A 3D point defining the geometric center of a solid
