Study Notes
- Geometry can be understood as starting with a point and then moving to a line, plane, and solid.
- In geometry, one way to interpret "one too many" is by starting with a point, adding lines to create a triangle, and then adding more triangles to form different shapes like quadrilaterals, trapeziums, and hexagons.
- A circle can be seen as an infinite number of triangles put together.
- In plane geometry, the chapters progress from angles to triangles to quadrilaterals to circles.
- Geometry can also be seen as visualizing number patterns in diagrams.
- Triangular numbers are a sequence of numbers that resemble triangles when visualized.
- Adding two triangular numbers can be visualized by placing one upside down on top of the other, forming a square number.
- Geometry is about visualizing number patterns, while algebra involves using variables to represent those patterns.
