Ratio

A comparison of two quantities with the same units, showing how much of one is contained in the other.

Proportion

The equality of two ratios, indicating that the quantities involved are in proportion.

Cross Multiplication (Proportion)

For a proportion $\frac{w}{x} = \frac{y}{z}$, this involves multiplying diagonally to get $w \cdot z = x \cdot y$.

Reciprocal Proportion

For a proportion $\frac{w}{x} = \frac{y}{z}$, this creates $\frac{x}{w} = \frac{z}{y}$.

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.
