Given below are the definitions to the words you will find in the word search. All these definitions come from Chapter 4.

AB
BaseThe number that is divided into the percentage in the percent proportion.
Constant VariationThe number "k" in the equation of the form (y=kx) or (kx=y).
Corresponding AnglesMatching angles in similar triangles, which have equal measures.
Corresponding SidesThe sides opposite the Corresponding angles in similar triangles.
Direct VariationThis is described by an equation of the form, (y=kx) where {k (not)= 0}.
Equally LikelyOutcomes that have and equal chance of occuring.
ExtremesIn a proportion, the numbers on the left side of the equal sign.
Inverse VariationDescribed by an equation in the form (xy=k) where {k (not)=0}.
MeansIn a propotion, the numbers on the right side of the equal sign.
OddsThe ratio of the numbers the event can occur (successes) to the number of ways the event cannot occur (failures)
PercentA ratio that compares a number to 100.
PercentageThe number that is divided by the base in a percent proportion.
Percent of decreaseThe ratio of an amount of decrease to the previous amount, expressed as a percent.
Percent of IncreaseThe ratio of an amount of increase to the previous amount is expressed as a percent.
Precent ProportionPercentage/Base = r/100
ProbabilityThe ratio that tells how likely it is that an event will take place. NUMBER OF FAVORABLE OUTCOMES / TOTAL NUMBER OF POSSIBLE OUTCOMES.
ProportionThe product of the extremes is equal to the product of means. If a/b = c/d, then ad = bc.
RandomWhen an outcome is chosen without any preferance or choice.
RateA fraction with the denominator of 100.
RatioA comparison of 2 numbers by division.
ScaleThis is used when making a model to represent something that is too large or too small to be conveniently drawn at actual size.
Similar TrianglesThe measure of the triangles corresponding sides are proportional, and the measure of their corresponding angles are equal.
Simple InterestFormula I= PRT
Uniform MotionWhen an object moves at a constant speed or rate.
Weighted AverageA set of data is the sum of the product of each number in the set and its weight is divided by the sum of all the weights.
