Study Notes
Points
- A point is a location in space, represented by a set of coordinates (x, y, z)
- It has no size, only position
Lines
- A line is a set of points extending infinitely in two directions
- It can be defined by two points or a point and a slope
- Line properties:
- Collinear points: points that lie on the same line
- Intersecting lines: lines that share a common point
- Parallel lines: lines that never intersect, always the same distance apart
- Perpendicular lines: lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle
Angles
- An angle is formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint (vertex)
- Angle properties:
- Acute angle: less than 90 degrees
- Right angle: exactly 90 degrees
- Obtuse angle: greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees
- Straight angle: exactly 180 degrees
- Reflex angle: greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees
Triangles
- A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles
- Triangle properties:
- Equilateral triangle: all sides are equal
- Isosceles triangle: two sides are equal
- Scalene triangle: all sides are unequal
- Right triangle: one right angle (90 degrees)
- Oblique triangle: no right angles
Quadrilaterals
- A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides and four angles
- Quadrilateral properties:
- Rectangle: all angles are right angles, opposite sides are equal
- Square: all sides are equal, all angles are right angles
- Rhombus: all sides are equal, opposite sides are parallel
- Trapezoid: two pairs of opposite sides, at least two sides are parallel
Circles
- A circle is a set of points equidistant from a central point (center)
- Circle properties:
- Center: the fixed point equidistant from all points on the circle
- Radius: the distance from the center to any point on the circle
- Circumference: the distance around the circle
- Diameter: the longest distance across the circle, passing through the center
Points

- The center is the fixed point equidistant from all points on the circle.
- Radius is the distance from the center to any point on the circle.
- Circumference is the distance around the circle.
- Diameter is the longest distance across the circle, passing through the center.
