Geometry terms for parallel lines and congruent triangles
Across
- 4. triangle a triangle with all three sides and angles of equal length.
- 7. interior angles The angles that are formed on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines are alternate interior angles.
- 8. triangle a triangle with two equal sides and angles.
- 9. triangle a triangle where all three sides are of different lengths and angles, meaning none of the sides are equal.
- 10. angles the angles across from each other where two lines cross.
- 12. triangles if all three corresponding sides are equal and all the three corresponding angles are equal in measure.
- 14. Angle a point where two straight lines or rays meet.
- 15. Angle the angles formed at the "bottom" of the triangle and the base is considered as the bottom side.
- 18. Angle Sum Theorem states that when a triangle's side is extended, the exterior angle formed is equal to the sum of the measures of the two opposite interior angles of the triangle.
- 19. the longest side of a right triangle, which is always opposite of the right angle.
Down
- 1. angles two angles that when added together equal 180 degrees.
- 2. interior angles a pair of angles formed when a transversal line intersects two parallel lines, where the angles are located on the same side of the transversal and are both inside the parallel lines.
- 3. a line that passes through two lines in the same plane.
- 5. Property a geometric figure is the same size and shape as itself; essentially, a figure is always equal to itself.
- 6. exterior angles a pair of angles formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines, where both angles lie outside the parallel lines and on the same side of the transversal.
- 11. exterior angles a pair of angles that lie on the outside of two lines cut by a transversal, but on opposite sides of the transversal.
- 12. angles angles that will be in the exact same place as the other line if you pick one line up and place it on top of the other.
- 13. Sum Theorem states that if you add all three interior angles, they will add up to 180 degrees.
- 16. angles two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.
- 17. pair two angles next to each other that together make a straight line.
