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
- Both have the same shape but different sizes.
- Corresponding angles have the same measure.
- Corresponding sides are in proportion.
Applications of Similarities in Geometry
- Measuring distances and sizes.
- 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.
