Study Notes

Basic Geometry Concepts

A Point represents a specific location without any dimensions.
A Line consists of infinitely many points, extending without width or thickness.
A Plane is an infinitely extending flat surface composed of points.

Relationships Among Points

Collinear Points can exist on a single line.
Non-collinear Points do not share the same line.
Coplanar Points are contained within the same plane.
Non-coplanar Points lie in different planes.

Line Segments and Measurements

A Line Segment has two distinct endpoints.
Congruent Segments are segments that have equal lengths.

Formulas

The Distance Formula can be used to calculate the length between two points.
The Midpoint Formula finds the middle point between two endpoints.

Angles and Their Properties

An Angle forms when two rays meet at a common endpoint.
Congruent Angles share the same measurement.
An Angle Bisector divides an angle into two equal parts.
Right Angles measure exactly 90 degrees.
Acute Angles measure less than 90 degrees.
Obtuse Angles measure more than 90 degrees.

Angle Relationships

Adjacent Angles share a vertex and a side, residing in the same plane.
A Linear Pair consists of two adjacent angles whose non-common sides create a straight line.
Vertical Angles are formed by intersecting lines and are not adjacent.
Complementary Angles have a sum of 90 degrees.
Supplementary Angles total 180 degrees.

Lines and Polygons

Perpendicular Lines intersect to create four right angles.
A Polygon is a closed figure made with a finite number of straight line segments, called sides.
A Regular Polygon has all sides and angles equal.

Area and Perimeter

Perimeter refers to the total distance around a polygon.
Area formulas for shapes include:
- Triangle Area calculation involves both the base and height.
- Rectangle Area is found through length times width.
- Circle Area calculation uses π times the square of the radius.
- Circumference of a Circle relates to two times π times the radius.

Types of Polygons

Triangle: 3 sides
Quadrilateral: 4 sides
Pentagon: 5 sides
Hexagon: 6 sides
Heptagon: 7 sides
Octagon: 8 sides
Nonagon: 9 sides
Decagon: 10 sides
Hendecagon: 11 sides
Dodecagon: 12 sides
An n-gon describes a polygon with 'n' sides.
