Across
  1. 2. A portion of a line which starts at a point and goes off in a particular direction to infinity
  2. 5. The distance around the edge of a figure or shape. For example it is the sum of the lengths of each side ofpolygon. For circles and ellipses, it is called the circumference.
  3. 7. is a perfectly round geometricaland circular object in three-dimensional space, such as the shape of a round ball.
  4. 8. A straight line or a plane that divides a line, a
  5. 10. A flat surface that is infinitely large and with zero thickness
  6. 11. A line from the center of a circle to a point on the circle.
  7. 12. If the sum of the measures of two angles is 90°, the angles are called complementary. Whenever two
  8. 14. set of values that show an exact position.
  9. 15. Often referred to as the right cone. A cone is a solid formed by rotating a right triangle around one of its legs.
  10. 17. The line where two surfaces meet
  11. 18. sides are triangles which meet at the top (the apex).It is a polyhedron.
  12. 19. A true statement that doesn’t require it to be proved
  13. 20. involves writing reasoned, logical explanations that use definitions, axioms, postulates, and previously proved theorems to arrive at a conclusion about a geometric statement.
  14. 21. are complementary, each angle is said to be the complement of the other angle.
  15. 22. meets or crosses it at right angles (90°).
  16. 25. Two angles that share the same vertex and have one side in common between them.
  17. 27. The surface included within a closed figure, measuredby the number of square units needed to cover the surface.
  18. 28. The boundary line of a circle or the length of such a boundary line.
  19. 31. A pair of non-adjacent angles formed by the intersection of two straight lines
  20. 32. each of the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines
  21. 36. any angle over 90 degrees
  22. 38. A point B that lies on the line connecting two points A and C and has one of the two points on each side of it.
  23. 39. A point on a line segment that divides it into two equal parts
  24. 41. lines that are neither parallel or intersecting
  25. 42. A measure for angles. There are 360 degrees in a full rotation.
  26. 43. Two Angles are ____if they add up to 180 degrees.
  27. 45. An angle whose measure is exactly 90°
  28. 46. A precise location or place on a plane. Usually represented by a dot
  29. 47. A number of coplanar line segments, each connected end to end to form a closed shape.
  30. 48. The side opposite the right angle in a right-angled triangle
Down
  1. 1. Any of the individual surfaces of a solid object.
  2. 3. can be combined to define other terms.
  3. 4. Two rays with a common endpoint that point in opposite directions and form a straight line
  4. 6. A geometrical object that is straight, infinitely long and infinitely thin.
  5. 9. A solid with flat faces
  6. 12. speaking, curved outward or toward the eye. A convex curve is a set of points any of whose chords do not include any point that is not in the set.
  7. 13. the figure formed by two lines extending from the same point;
  8. 15. Lying on a common plane.
  9. 16. Polygons that have all corresponding sides and all corresponding angles congruent.
  10. 20. a solid geometric figure whose two end faces are similar, equal, and parallel rectilinear figures, and whose sides are parallelograms
  11. 23. A straight line going through the center of a circle connecting two points on the circumference.
  12. 24. In plane geometry, when one figure fits exactly on top of the other through simple translation and/or rotation, then these two figures are congruent.
  13. 26. a general proposition not self-evident but proved by a chain of reasoning; a truth established by means of accepted truths.
