Study Notes
Types of Triangles
- Acute Triangle: Contains three angles, each less than 90 degrees.
- Obtuse Triangle: Has one angle greater than 90 degrees.
- Right Triangle: Features one angle exactly at 90 degrees.
- Equilateral Triangle: All three sides are equal in length; also has three congruent angles (60 degrees each).
- Isosceles Triangle: At least two sides are equal, leading to two congruent angles.
- Scalene Triangle: No sides are congruent, and all angles are different.
Triangle Congruence
- Congruent Polygons: Two shapes are congruent if their corresponding sides and angles match in measure.
- Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence: Triangles are congruent if all three sides of one are equal to the three sides of another.
- Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence: Congruency is established when two sides and the included angle of one triangle match those of another.
- Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence: Two triangles are congruent if two angles and the included side are congruent.
- Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) Congruence: If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle match those of another, the triangles are congruent.
- Leg-Leg (LL) Congruence: Specifically for right triangles, both legs must be congruent.
- Hypotenuse-Angle (HA) Congruence: The hypotenuse and one acute angle of a right triangle must be congruent to those of another.
- Leg-Angle (LA) Congruence: One leg and an acute angle of a right triangle must match those of another.
- Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence: In right triangles, the hypotenuse and one leg must be congruent between the two triangles.
Angle Relationships
- Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem: The total measure of angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
- Exterior Angle: Formed by extending one side of the triangle; it is supplementary to the adjacent interior angle.
- Remote Interior Angles: Two interior angles that are not adjacent to a given exterior angle of a triangle.
Isosceles Triangle Theorem
- Isosceles Triangle Theorem: States that if two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are also congruent.
- Converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem: If two angles in a triangle are congruent, their opposite sides are also congruent.
Proof Techniques
- Flow Proof: A structured proof using boxes and arrows to illustrate logical connections.
- Two-Column Proof: Presents statements and the corresponding reasons in a two-column format for clarity.
- Coordinate Proof: Involves plotting figures on a coordinate plane for proof.
Transformations
- Transformation: An operation that maps a figure onto another.
- Rigid Transformation: Any transformation that preserves the shape and size of the figure.
- Isometry: Another term for rigid transformations.
- Reflections: A flip of the figure over a line.
- Translations: A slide in a specific direction.
- Rotations: A turn around a fixed point.
Angle Relationships
- Complementary Angles: Two angles sum up to 90 degrees.
- Supplementary Angles: Two angles sum up to 180 degrees.
Distance and Midpoint Formulas
- Distance Formula: Calculated as (d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}).
- Midpoint Formula: Determines the midpoint between two coordinates as (\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)).
