  2. 5. A 3D point defining the geometric center of a solid.
  3. 6. The lines of intersection created from three mutually perpendicular planes, with the three planes’ point of intersection at the centroid of the part.
  4. 11. The amount of three-dimensional space occupied by an object or enclosed within a container.
  5. 13. A triangle with one angle that is greater than 90 degrees.
  6. 14. A round plane figure whose boundary consists of points equidistant from the center
  7. 16. A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.

Down
  1. 1. Any plane figure bounded by straight lines.
  2. 2. 1. A triangle located round a polygon such as a circle. 2 To draw a figure around another, touching it at points but not cutting it.
  3. 3. A 3D point where the total weight of the body may be considered to be concentrated.
  4. 7. A triangle that contains only angles that are less than 90 degrees.

  9. 15. A polygon with three sides.
  10. 17. A table located in the bottom right-hand corner of an engineering drawing that identifies, in an organized way, all of the necessary information that is not given on the drawing itself. Also referred to as a title strip.
  11. 18. A shape generated by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points (the foci) is constant and equal to the major axis
  12. 20. A regular polygon with four equal sides and four 90 degree angles.
  13. 21. 1. An imaginary line through a body, about which it rotates. 2. An imaginary line about which a regular figure is symmetrically arranged. 3. A fixed reference line for the measurement of coordinates.

  19. 33. A straight or curved line that intersects a circle or arc at one point only.
  20. 35. A straight line passing from side to side through the center of a circle or sphere.
