Across
  1. 3. The full distance across a circle through its center; it is used to calculate the distance around Mrs. Strom's circular garden
  2. 6. Polygons where the area is computed by multiplying two adjacent side lengths
  3. 8. A general term for a closed plane figure with straight sides, such as those that make up a custom garden fence
  4. 11. Three-sided polygons whose area is determined by taking half the product of the base and height
  5. 13. One of the primary dimensions of a rectangle, often multiplied by width to determine surface space
  6. 14. Regular quadrilaterals with congruent sides; the area formula is A=s squared
  7. 18. The specific mathematical term for the perimeter or distance around a circle
  8. 20. Three-sided polygons whose area is calculated as one-half the product of the base and height
  9. 21. The dimension of a rectangle that is perpendicular to its length
Down
  1. 1. The smaller shapes (triangles, rectangles, squares, circles, etc.) that a complex figure is broken into to simplify area and perimeter calculations
  2. 2. Four-sided figures with parallel bases; their area is found by taking the average of the measures of the two bases
  3. 4. The distance from the center of a circle to any point on its edge; it is essential for calculating the area of Mrs. Clausen’s circular rug
  4. 5. The perpendicular distance from a base to the opposite side or vertex
  5. 7. A shape, like Mrs. Higgins' front porch, that is formed by combining two or more basic geometric shapes
  6. 9. Any side of a figure used to calculate area; it always has a corresponding height
  7. 10. Any two-dimensional shape, such as a square or circle, that can be drawn on a flat surface
  8. 12. A shape representing half of a circle; it is often found as the top part of a decorative window or a porch
  9. 15. The total path or distance around a figure, such as the length of string lights Mrs. Rhodes needs to decorate her window
  10. 16. Two-dimensional figures defined by a radius; they are a common subdivision when calculating total surface area
  11. 17. The amount of surface space inside the boundaries of a figure, such as the amount of paint needed for a room
  12. 19. Specific measurements, such as side lengths, used to determine the total distance around a complex shape
