Study Notes

Angles Formed by Parallel Lines

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines.
Corresponding angles are equal, alternate interior angles are equal, and alternate exterior angles are equal.
Same side interior angles are supplementary, and same side exterior angles are supplementary.

Triangles

Triangle Congruence Theorems: SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS.
AAA and SSA are not rules for congruence.
Exterior Angle of a Triangle is equal to the sum of its Remote Interior Angles.
Isosceles Triangle Relationships: angles opposite equal sides are equal.
Median, Altitude, Angle Bisector, and Perpendicular Bisector are special segments in a triangle.

Quadrilateral and Polygons Relationships

Parallelogram, Rectangle, Rhombus, and Square are types of quadrilaterals.
Conditions for classifying a quadrilateral: opposite sides are equal and parallel, opposite angles are equal, diagonals bisect each other.
Sum of Interior Angles in a Polygon is equal to 180(n-2).

Dilations and Similarities

Dilation: a transformation that changes the size but not the shape of a figure.
Similar Figures: corresponding angles have the same measure and corresponding sides are in proportion.
Triangle Similarity Theorems: SSS, SAS, AA.
Similar figures have the same shape but different sizes.

Similar Triangles

Two triangles are similar if corresponding angles have the same measure and corresponding sides are in proportion.
Similar triangles have the same shape but different sizes.

Similar Polygons

Similar polygons are polygons with the same shape, but their sizes may be different.
Corresponding angles are congruent, and corresponding sides are in proportion.

Similarities between Triangles and Polygons

Determining the area and volume of shapes.
Understanding the properties of shapes.

Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with the properties and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids.
Geometry involves studying different shapes and their properties, such as angles, triangles, polygons, and similarities.
