Study Notes

Angles

  • Types of Angles:
    • 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
  • Angle Properties:
    • Complementary Angles: two angles that add up to 90 degrees
    • Supplementary Angles: two angles that add up to 180 degrees
    • Vertical Angles: two angles formed by two intersecting lines, always equal
  • Angle Measurement:
    • Degrees: unit of measurement for angles, where 1 full rotation is 360 degrees
    • Radians: unit of measurement for angles, where 1 full rotation is 2Ï€ radians

Quadrilaterals

  • Types of Quadrilaterals:
    • Rectangle: all angles are right angles, opposite sides are equal
    • Square: all angles are right angles, all sides are equal
    • Rhombus: all sides are equal, opposite angles are equal
    • Trapezoid: two pairs of opposite sides, where one pair is parallel
    • Kite: two pairs of adjacent sides, where one pair is equal
  • Properties of Quadrilaterals:
    • Diagonals: two diagonals that bisect each other and form four right triangles
    • Interior Angles: sum of interior angles is 360 degrees

Triangles

  • Types of Triangles:
    • 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)
  • Properties of Triangles:
    • Angles: sum of interior angles is 180 degrees
    • Sides: sum of any two sides is greater than the third side
    • Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle
