- 4. Coplanar points or lines lie in the same plane. A plane is a flat surface that extends forever.
- 7. The circumcenter is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meet. It is equally distant from all three vertices of the triangle.
- 9. A line is a straight path that extends forever in both directions. It contains infinitely many points.
- 10. A cylinder is a three-dimensional figure with two parallel circular bases. The bases are connected by a curved surface.
- 11. The centroid is the point where the three medians of a triangle intersect. It is also the triangle’s center of balance.
- 12. A cone is a three-dimensional figure with one circular base and one vertex. Its sides curve from the base to the vertex.
- 13. pair A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles whose noncommon sides form a straight line. Their measures add up to 180°.
- 15. angle An acute angle is an angle that measures greater than 0° and less than 90°. Acute angles are smaller than right angles.
- 16. Area is the amount of space inside a two-dimensional figure. It is measured in square units.
- 17. Equidistant means being the same distance from two or more objects. A point can be equidistant from two endpoints of a segment.
Down
- 1. angles Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90°. They do not have to be next to each other.
- 2. A counterexample is an example that proves a statement false. Only one counterexample is needed to disprove a conjecture.
- 3. A conjecture is an educated guess based on observations or patterns. It may be true or false until it is proven.
- 5. The incenter is the point where the angle bisectors of a triangle intersect. It is equally distant from all sides of the triangle.
- 6. An angle is formed by two rays that share the same endpoint. The shared endpoint is called the vertex.
- 7. Congruent figures have the same size and shape. Congruent angles have equal measures, and congruent segments have equal lengths.
- 8. Circumference is the distance around a circle. It can be found using the formulas C = \pi d or C = 2\pi r.
- 11. Collinear points are points that lie on the same line. Three or more points can be collinear.
- 14. angles Adjacent angles are two angles that share a common side and a common vertex. They are next to each other without overlapping.
- 16. bisector An angle bisector is a ray or segment that divides an angle into two congruent angles. Each new angle has the same measure.
