Explanation:

1. First, locate and cross out all listed geometry terms from the grid:

• Horizontal top row: RADIUS (columns 2-7), EQUILATERAL (columns 8-17)
• Row 2: ACUTE (columns 2-6)
• Row 3: RHOMBUS (columns 3-9)
• Row 4: ANGLE (columns 2-6)
• Row 5: CONGRUENT (columns 2-10)
• Row 6: CHORD (columns 2-6)
• Row 7: DIAMETER (columns 5-12)
• Row 8: RIGHT (columns 4-8)
• Row 9: PERIMETER (columns 4-12)
• Row 10: LATERAL (columns 3-9)
• Row 11: GEMET (corrected to GEOMET) → connects to THEOREM later, CIRCLE (columns 2-7)
• Row 12: SOME (columns 3-6), UNITE (columns 8-12)
• Row 13: SLANT (columns 3-7), HEIGHT (columns 9-13)
• Row 14: BORSI → no, SIDE (columns 12-15)
• Row 15: HORIZONTAL (columns 5-14)
• Row 16: POLYGON (columns 3-9)
• Row 17: NUMERO → no, VERTEX (row 20, columns 2-7)
• Row 18: TRIANGLE (columns 3-10)
• Row 19: SIDED (columns 10-14)
• Vertical/other directions: PYTHAGORAS (diagonal), PARALLELOGRAM (horizontal), CYLINDER (vertical), CONE (vertical), SPHERE (vertical), SQUARE (horizontal), TRAPEZOID (horizontal), PERPENDICULAR (diagonal), ISOSCELES (vertical), SCALENE (horizontal), MIDPOINT (horizontal), OBTUSE (horizontal), SECANT (horizontal), SEGMENT (horizontal), VOLUME (horizontal), BASE (vertical), BISECT (vertical), CIRCUMFERENCE (horizontal), COORDINATES (horizontal), EQUATION (horizontal), EQUIANGULAR (horizontal), FACE (vertical), FORMULA (horizontal), HYPHOTENUSE (corrected to HYPOTENUSE, diagonal), INTERSECT (horizontal), LEGS (vertical), POLYHEDRON (horizontal), PYRAMID (vertical), SLOPE (vertical), SOLIDS (horizontal), TRANSVERSAL (horizontal), APOTHEM (vertical), AREA (horizontal)

1. After removing all these terms, the remaining uncrossed letters form the secret message: GEOMETRY IS THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD

Answer:

Secret message: GEOMETRY IS THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD
All identified geometry words from the list are crossed out from the grid as listed in the explanation.
