- 3. Parallel Postulate- through any given point not on a line there passes exactly one line parallel to that line in the same plane.
- 8. the point on a line that is at an equal distance from either end
- 9. the amount of space that a substance or object occupies
- 12. enlargement of an object
- 13. Similarity- Two shapes are Similar when one can become the other after a resize, flip, slide or turn
- 15. a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
- 16. Theorem- the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square on the hypotenuse
- 17. Sum Theorem- the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
- 18. Measurement- a mathematical method used to find unknown measurements of objects that are difficult to measure
- 23. a solid shape that is bound on all its sides by plane faces
- 24. changing the size of an object without changing its shape
- 25. a type of transformation where we change the size of the original shape to make it bigger or smaller by multiplying it by a scale factor
- 26. A three dimensional object.
- 27. Factor- the ratio between the scale of a given original object and a new object
- 28. any smooth curve joining two points
Down
- 1. Similar triangles- used to prove that two triangles are similar or congruent
- 2. distance around the edge of a circle
- 4. A line segment that goes from one corner to another, but is not an edge.
- 5. Space Figures- Two figures are said to be similar if they are the same shape
- 6. Mean Theorem- appears in two popular theorems regarding right triangles
- 7. distance from the center to the circumference of a circle
- 10. terms of pi- xπ where x is whatever number you come up with, and π is simply a placeholder for pi's value
- 11. Triangles- same corresponding angle measures and proportional side lengths.
- 12. the perpendicular drawn from the vertex of the triangle to the opposite side
- 14. a three-dimensional figure.
- 19. to the rewriting of an expression into a simpler form
- 20. formula- Algebraic expression that gives the distances between pairs of points in terms of their coordinates
- 21. the image of a function is the set of all output values it may produce
- 22. Right Triangle Theorem- If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the two triangles formed are similar to the original triangle and to each other
- 26. he area between two radiuses and the connecting arc of a circle
