- 21. A corner point of a geometric figure.
- 22. Half the difference between the minimum and maximum values of the range

Down
- 1. a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. No other features matter.
- 4. a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides.
- 5. The region between two concentric circles which have different radii.
- 6. Cut into two congruent halves.
- 9. messenger particle of the strong nuclear force, which binds subatomic particles known as quarks within the protons and neutrons of stable matter
- 11. A line segment, line, or plane that divides a geometric figure into two congruent halves.
- 12. is a three-dimensional solid that holds two parallel bases joined by a curved surface, at a fixed distance.
- 14. The first coordinate in an ordered pair.
