- 5. two angles whose sum is 90 degrees.
- 6. a system of reasoning that uses facts, rules,definitions, or properties to reach logical conclusions.
- 8. the non-adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines.
- 10. is the part of a line that contains an endpoint and all points extending in the other direction.
- 11. two lines are parallel if they are coplanar and do not intersect.
- 14. two angles whose sum is 180 degrees.
- 16. line, ray segment, or plane that divides a segment into two congruent segments.
- 17. a statement or conjecture that can be proven true by given, definitions, postulates, or already proven theorems.
- 20. segments that have the same length.
- 21. two lines that intersect to form right angles.
- 25. reasoning that uses a number of specific examples to arrive at a plausible prediction.

Down
- 1. an educated guess based on known information.
- 3. angles that have the same measure.
- 7. set of all points.
- 9. points points that lie on the same line.
- 11. set of points that has infinite length and width but no height. We name a plane with a capital letter.
- 12. set of points which has infinite length but no width or height. A line is named by a lower case letter or by any two points on the line.
- 13. a statement that describes a fundamental relationship between basic terms of geometry. Postulates are accepted as true without proof.
- 15. ray that divides an angle into two congruent adjacent angles.
- 18. a point that divides the segment into two congruent segments.
- 19. has no size; length, width, or height. It is represented by a dot and named by a capital letter.
- 22. part of a line that consists of two points called endpoints and all points between them.
- 23. angle whose measure is 90 degrees.
- 24. angle whose measure is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
- 26. angle whose measure is 180 degrees.
- 29. branch of mathematics that deals with points, lines, planes and solids and examines their properties.
