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."
