Study Notes
- Study notes on Euclidean Geometry, focusing on ratio, proportion, polygons, triangles, similarity, and the Pythagorean Theorem.
Ratio
- A ratio expresses the relationship between two quantities of the same units.
- Ratios are simplified, unit-less, and indicate relative size, not actual measurements.
Proportion
- Proportion indicates the equality of two ratios.
- If $\frac{w}{x} = \frac{y}{z}$, then the following properties hold:
- Cross Multiplication: $w \cdot z = x \cdot y$
- Reciprocal Proportion: $\frac{x}{w} = \frac{z}{y}$
- Inverted Proportion: $\frac{w}{y} = \frac{x}{z}$
- Alternating Proportion: $\frac{y}{w} = \frac{z}{x}$
Application in Geometry
- Proportions compare parts of geometric figures.
- The Basic Proportionality Theorem (Thales' theorem) states that a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionally.
- In triangle $\triangle ABC$, if $\overline{DE}$ is parallel to $\overline{BC}$, then $\frac{AD}{DB} = \frac{AE}{EC}$.
Steps to Solve Proportional Problems
- Identify the given ratios.
- Set up proportional equations.
- Solve for the unknown.
- Verify the solution.
Polygons
- A polygon is a closed, plane shape formed by three or more intersecting line segments.
Properties and Formulas of Common Polygons
- Triangle: Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$
- Parallelogram: Area $= \text{base} \times \text{height}$
- Rectangle: Area $= \text{length} \times \text{width}$
- Rhombus: Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times \text{diagonal AC} \times \text{diagonal BD}$
- Square: Area $= \text{side}^2$
- Trapezium (Trapezoid): Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times (\text{base}_1 + \text{base}_2) \times \text{height}$
- Kite: Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times \text{diagonal AC} \times \text{diagonal BD}$
Proportionality in Polygons
- Similar polygons have equal corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides.
Proportional Theorems
- Basic Proportionality Theorem (Thales' Theorem): If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle, it divides the other two sides proportionally; in $\triangle ABC$ with $DE \parallel BC$, $\frac{AD}{DB} = \frac{AE}{EC}$.
- Triangle Proportionality Theorem: If two triangles are equiangular, their corresponding sides are in proportion; for $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DEF$ with $\angle A = \angle D$, $\angle B = \angle E$, $\angle C = \angle F$, then $\frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{CA}{FD}$.
- Pythagoras' Theorem: States that in a right-angled triangle, the square on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides; in $\triangle ABC$ with $\angle A = 90^\circ$, $BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2$.
Triangles with the Same Height
- Triangles with equal heights have areas proportional to their bases:
- Area $\triangle ABC = \frac{1}{2} \times BC \times h$
- Area $\triangle DEF = \frac{1}{2} \times EF \times h$
- $\frac{\text{Area } \triangle ABC}{\text{Area } \triangle DEF} = \frac{BC}{EF}$
Triangles with the Same Base
- Triangles with equal bases between the same parallel lines are equal in area.
- Area $\triangle WXY = \frac{1}{2} \times XY \times h$
- Area $\triangle ZXY = \frac{1}{2} \times XY \times h$
Triangles on the Same Base and Equal in Area
- Triangles on the same side of the same base and equal in area lie between parallel lines.
- Area $\triangle PQR =$ Area $\triangle SQR$
- $\frac{1}{2} \times QR \times h_1 = \frac{1}{2} \times QR \times h_2$
- $h_1 = h_2$
The Proportion Theorem
- A line drawn parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionally: $\frac{AD}{DB} = \frac{AE}{EC}$.
Mid-point Theorem
- The line joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and equal to half its length: $BC \parallel DE$ and $BC = 2 \times DE$.
Converse of the Mid-point Theorem
- The line drawn from the midpoint of one side of a triangle parallel to another side bisects the third side.
- $DE \parallel BC$ and $AC = CE$.
Key Formulas and Concepts for Triangles
- Area of a Triangle: Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$
- Triangles with equal heights have areas proportional to their bases.
- Triangles with equal bases between the same parallel lines are equal in area.
- If two triangles are equiangular, the corresponding sides are in proportion.
- Proportion Theorem: $\frac{AD}{DB} = \frac{AE}{EC}$
- Mid-point Theorem: $BC \parallel DE$ and $BC = 2 \times DE$
Similarity of Polygons
- Similar polygons have the same shape but differ in size.
Conditions for Similarity
- Two polygons with the same number of sides are similar if:
- All pairs of corresponding angles are equal.
- All pairs of corresponding sides are in the same proportion.
- If polygon ABCDE is similar to polygon PQRST:
- $\angle A = \angle P, \angle B = \angle Q, \angle C = \angle R, \angle D = \angle S, \angle E = \angle T$
- $\frac{AB}{PQ} = \frac{BC}{QR} = \frac{CD}{RS} = \frac{DE}{ST} = \frac{EA}{TP}$
- Both conditions must be true for polygons to be similar.
Similarity of Triangles
- To prove two triangles are similar, show that:
- All pairs of corresponding angles are equal (equiangular triangles).
- All pairs of corresponding sides are in the same proportion.
Theorem: Equiangular Triangles are Similar
- If $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DEF$ are equiangular with $\angle A = \angle D$, $\angle B = \angle E$, $\angle C = \angle F$, then $\frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{AC}{DF} = \frac{BC}{EF}$.
Theorem: Triangles with Sides in Proportion are Similar
- If corresponding sides of two triangles are in proportion (i.e., $\frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{AC}{DF} = \frac{BC}{EF}$ for $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DEF$), then the triangles are similar.
Key Formulas and Concepts for Similarity
- Area of a Triangle: Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$
- Triangles with equal heights have areas proportional to their bases.
- Triangles with equal bases between the same parallel lines are equal in area.
- If two triangles are equiangular, the corresponding sides are in proportion.
- Similarity conditions for polygons: All corresponding angles are equal, and all corresponding sides are proportional.
- Similarity conditions for triangles: Can be proven either by equiangularity or proportionality of sides.
Pythagorean Theorem
- The square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
Statement
- In $\triangle ABC$ with $\angle A = 90^\circ$, $BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2$.
Proof
- Draw $AD \perp BC$.
- $\triangle ABD$ is similar to $\triangle CBA$, and $\triangle CAD$ is similar to $\triangle CBA$ (AAA similarity).
- $\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{BD}{AB} \implies AB^2 = BD \cdot BC$
- $\frac{AC}{CB} = \frac{DC}{AC} \implies AC^2 = CB \cdot DC$
- $AB^2 + AC^2 = BD \cdot BC + CB \cdot DC = BC \cdot (BD + DC) = BC^2$
- Therefore, $BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2$
Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem
- If the square of one side of a triangle equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides, the angle between those two sides is a right angle.
Key Concepts
- Area of a Triangle: Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$
- Triangles with equal heights have areas proportional to their bases.
- Triangles with equal bases between the same parallel lines are equal in area.
- If two triangles are equiangular, the corresponding sides are in proportion.
- Similarity Conditions For polygons: All pairs of corresponding angles are equal and all pairs of corresponding sides are in the same proportion. For triangles: Prove either equiangularity or proportionality of sides.
