Study Notes

Geometry Basics

  • A point denotes an exact location in space.
  • A line is an infinite length formed by connecting points in both directions.
  • A line segment is a part of a line with two defined endpoints.
  • A ray has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction.

Angles and Lines

  • An angle is formed by two rays that share a common endpoint known as the vertex.
  • Intersecting lines cross each other at a single point, while parallel lines never cross.
  • Perpendicular lines intersect forming four right angles.

Types of Angles

  • An acute angle measures between 0° and 90°.
  • A right angle measures exactly 90°.
  • An obtuse angle is between 90° and 180°.
  • A straight angle measures 180°.
  • A reflex angle measures between 180° and 360°.

Angle Relationships

  • Adjacent angles share a common side and vertex.
  • Vertical angles are formed when two lines intersect, creating pairs of opposite angles.
  • Complementary angles sum to 90°.
  • Supplementary angles sum to 180°.

Quadrilaterals

  • A quadrilateral is any polygon with four sides.
  • A trapezoid has one pair of opposite sides parallel.
  • A parallelogram has both pairs of opposite sides parallel.
  • A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides equal.
  • A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles.
  • A square is a rectangle with all sides equal.

Triangles

  • An acute triangle has three acute angles.
  • An obtuse triangle has one obtuse angle.
  • A right triangle contains one right angle.
  • An equilateral triangle features three equal sides.
  • An isosceles triangle has two equal sides.
  • A scalene triangle has no equal sides.

Area Formulas

  • Area of a square: ( A = s^2 )
  • Area of a parallelogram: ( A = bh )
  • Area of a triangle: ( A = \frac{1}{2}bh )
  • Area of a trapezoid: ( A = \frac{1}{2}h(b_1 + b_2) )

Circle Geometry

  • A radius connects the center of a circle to any point on its circumference.
  • A diameter is a line segment that passes through the center, with endpoints on the circle.
  • A chord is a line segment whose endpoints lie on the circle.
  • A semicircle is an arc that represents half of the circle.
  • An arc connects two points on the circumference of the circle.
  • Circumference measures the distance around a circle.

Circle Formulas

  • Area of a circle: ( A = \pi r^2 )
  • Circumference of a circle:
    • ( C = 2\pi r )
    • ( C = \pi d )
  • Pi (( \pi )) is approximately 3.14.

Inequalities

  • The symbol > denotes "greater than."
  • The symbol < indicates "less than."
  • The symbol ≠ signifies "not equal to."
  • The symbol ≤ means "less than or equal to."
  • The symbol ≥ means "greater than or equal to."
