  1. 3. - "Equiangular" is a fancy geometry word that just means a shape has all of its angles the same size.
  2. 4. The centroid is a special spot in the exact middle of an object. You can think of it as the balance point or center of gravity.
  3. 6. - its a long square
  4. 11. - The incenter is a special spot in the middle of any triangle. You can think of it as the perfect center for a circle that fits perfectly inside the triangle, touching all three sides.
  5. 13. - a perfect triangle same side length and angles (60)
  6. 14. - its a kite
  7. 16. - its a weird looking rectangle with the triangles one on each side
  8. 17. - In geometry, altitude is just a fancy word for height.
  9. 18. - diamond
Down
  1. 1. - its a square
  2. 2. - Imagine a triangle is like a tent, and the orthocenter is a special spot related to its height. It's where the "height lines" of the triangle all meet up.
  3. 5. - A perpendicular bisector is a special line that cuts another line segment into two equal parts and makes a perfect square corner (a right angle) where they cross.
  4. 7. Bisector - line that cuts an angle exactly in half, making two smaller angles that are perfectly equal
  5. 8. - A parallelogram is a special four-sided flat shape where the sides opposite each other are parallel (like train tracks that never cross!) and are also the same length.
  6. 9. - The circumcenter is a special "center" of a triangle, which is just a fancy word for its balance point if you're trying to draw a circle that goes around its outside.
  7. 10. - The median is the middle number in a list of numbers that has been put in order from smallest to largest.
  8. 12. - "Equidistant" is a big word that just means "the same distance".
  9. 15. - A diagonal is a straight line that connects two opposite corners of a shape. It's like drawing a line that cuts across the middle instead of going along the sides.
