Geometry

• Basic Concepts

  • Points, lines, and planes: Fundamental elements of geometry.
  • Angles: Measured in degrees (acute < 90°, right = 90°, obtuse > 90°).
  • Types of polygons: Triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, etc.

• Triangles

  • Types: Equilateral, isosceles, scalene.
  • Pythagorean theorem: In right triangles, ( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ).
  • Area formula: ( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} ).

• Quadrilaterals

  • Types: Squares, rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids.
  • Area formulas:
    • Square: ( A = s^2 ) (where ( s ) is the side length).
    • Rectangle: ( A = l \times w ) (length × width).
    • Parallelogram: ( A = b \times h ) (base × height).

• Circles

  • Radius: Distance from center to circumference.
  • Diameter: Twice the radius.
  • Circumference: ( C = 2\pi r ).
  • Area: ( A = \pi r^2 ).

  • Volume and surface area calculations for cubes, spheres, and cylinders.
  • Cube: ( V = s^3 ), ( SA = 6s^2 ).
  • Sphere: ( V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 ), ( SA = 4\pi r^2 ).
  • Cylinder: ( V = \pi r^2 h ), ( SA = 2\pi rh + 2\pi r^2 ).

Graphing

• Coordinate Plane

  • Axes: X-axis (horizontal), Y-axis (vertical).
  • Origin: Point (0,0) where the axes intersect.

• Plotting Points

  • Points defined as (x, y).
  • Quadrants: Divided into four sections (I, II, III, IV) based on signs of x and y.

• Linear Equations

  • Standard form: ( Ax + By = C ).
  • Slope-intercept form: ( y = mx + b ) (where ( m ) is the slope and ( b ) is the y-intercept).
  • Slope: ( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} ).

• Graphing Lines

  • Identify y-intercept and slope to draw lines.
  • Use points to ensure accuracy.

• Functions

  • Definition: A relation where each input has one output.
  • Types: Linear, quadratic, exponential, etc.
  • Graphs represent functions visually, showing the relationship between variables.

• Transformations

  • Translation: Shifting the graph without changing its shape.
  • Reflection: Flipping the graph over an axis.
  • Stretching/Shrinking: Altering the size of the graph vertically or horizontally.

• Inequalities

  • Graphing linear inequalities: Use dashed or solid lines to indicate whether the line is included.
  • Shade the appropriate area to show solutions.

Geometry

• Basic Concepts

  • Geometry involves points, lines, and planes as its foundational elements.
  • Angles are measured in degrees: acute (< 90°), right (= 90°), and obtuse (> 90°).
  • Polygons include several types such as triangles, quadrilaterals, and pentagons.

• Triangles

  • Classified into equilateral (all sides equal), isosceles (two sides equal), and scalene (no sides equal).
  • The Pythagorean theorem applies to right triangles: ( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ).
  • Area can be calculated using the formula ( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} ).

• Quadrilaterals

  • Include squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids.
  • Area formulas for common quadrilaterals:
    • Square: ( A = s^2 ) (where ( s ) is the side length).
    • Rectangle: ( A = l \times w ) (length times width).
    • Parallelogram: ( A = b \times h ) (base times height).

• Circles

  • Radius is the distance from the center to the circumference; diameter is twice the radius.
  • Circumference calculated by ( C = 2\pi r ).
  • Area is computed using ( A = \pi r^2 ).

• 3D Shapes

  • Volume and surface area formulas for key shapes:
    • Cube: ( V = s^3 ) and ( SA = 6s^2 ).
    • Sphere: ( V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 ) and ( SA = 4\pi r^2 ).
    • Cylinder: ( V = \pi r^2 h ) and ( SA = 2\pi rh + 2\pi r^2 ).

Graphing

• Coordinate Plane

  • Axes consist of the horizontal X-axis and the vertical Y-axis.
  • The origin, where the axes intersect, is at point (0,0).

• Plotting Points

  • Each point is identified by coordinates (x, y).
  • The plane is divided into four quadrants (I, II, III, IV) based on the signs of x and y.

• Linear Equations

  • Linear equations can be written in standard form: ( Ax + By = C ).
  • Slope-intercept form is expressed as ( y = mx + b ), with ( m ) as slope and ( b ) as y-intercept.
  • Slope calculation: ( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} ).

• Graphing Lines

  • Identify the y-intercept and slope to accurately draw lines.
  • Use plotted points to confirm the correctness of the graph.

• Functions

  • A function is defined as a relation where each input corresponds to a single output.
  • Types of functions include linear, quadratic, and exponential.
  • Graphs visually represent functions, illustrating the relationships between variables.

• Transformations

  • Translation involves shifting a graph without changing its shape.
  • Reflection is flipping the graph over a specific axis.
  • Stretching or shrinking modifies the graph's size either vertically or horizontally.

• Inequalities

  • Graphing linear inequalities uses dashed or solid lines to denote whether the line is included in the solution set.
  • The appropriate area is shaded to illustrate the solutions to the inequality.
