Geometry Basics

Geometry

Definition and Branches

• Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of shapes, sizes, and positions of objects.
• It involves the study of points, lines, angles, and planes, and how they relate to each other.
• There are several branches of geometry, including:
  • Euclidean geometry: Deals with the traditional concept of geometry, based on the axioms and theorems of Euclid.
  • Non-Euclidean geometry: Deals with geometries that deviate from Euclid's axioms, such as hyperbolic and elliptical geometry.
  • Analytic geometry: Uses algebraic and analytic techniques to study geometric shapes and their properties.

Basic Concepts

• Points: Represented by a set of coordinates (x, y) in a two-dimensional space or (x, y, z) in a three-dimensional space.
• Lines: Can be defined as a set of points that extend infinitely in two directions.
• Line segments: A part of a line with a fixed length.
• Rays: A line that extends infinitely in one direction from a single point.
• Angles: Formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint.
• Planes: A flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions.

Properties of Shapes

• Properties of lines:
  • Slope: The ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change.
  • Midpoint: The point that divides a line segment into two equal parts.
• Properties of angles:
  • Angle measures: Can be measured in degrees, radians, or revolutions.
  • Angle types: Acute, right, obtuse, straight, and reflex angles.
• Properties of triangles:
  • Triangle inequality: The sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than the length of the third side.
  • Pythagorean theorem: The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
• Properties of quadrilaterals:
  • Properties of rectangles: All angles are right angles, and opposite sides are equal.
  • Properties of squares: All sides are equal, and all angles are right angles.

Theorems and Formulas

• Theorems:
  • Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
  • Perpendicular bisector theorem: The perpendicular bisector of a line segment passes through the midpoint.
• Formulas:
  • Area of a triangle: (base * height) / 2
  • Circumference of a circle: 2 * π * radius
  • Volume of a rectangular prism: length * width * height
