Study Notes

Formulas for Geometric Shapes

  • The formula for the area of a square is Area = side².
  • The perimeter of a square is P = 4 × side.

Rectangles

  • The area of a rectangle is A = l × w, where l is the length and w is the width.
  • The perimeter of a rectangle is P = (L + W) × 2.
  • Another term for perimeter is circumference.

Circles

  • The formula for the area of a circle is A = ℼr².
  • The radius of a circle is given by R = √(A/ℼ).

Triangles

  • There are six types of triangles: isosceles, equilateral, scalene, obtuse, acute, and right.
  • An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two congruent sides and one unequal side and angle.

Congruence Postulates

  • SSS Congruence Postulate: If the three corresponding sides of triangles are equal, then the triangles are congruent.
  • SAS Congruence Postulate: If two corresponding sides and their included angle of triangles are equal, then the triangles are congruent.
  • ASA Congruence Postulate: If two corresponding angles and their included side of triangles are equal, then the triangles are congruent.

Angles

  • An angle that measures between 0° and 90° is called an acute angle.
  • An angle that measures between 90° and 180° is called an obtuse angle.

This quiz covers the fundamental concepts of geometry including the parts of a circle, perimeter and area formulas for squares and rectangles, circumference, radius, diameter, and the six types of triangles.
