Study Notes
Points and Lines
- A point is a location in space, represented by a set of coordinates (x, y, z).
- A line is a set of points extending infinitely in two directions.
- Line segment: a part of a line with a fixed length.
- Ray: a line that extends from a point to infinity in one direction.
Angles and Measurement
- An angle is formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint.
- Angle measurement: degrees, radians, or revolutions.
-
Types of angles:
- Acute (less than 90°)
- Right (exactly 90°)
- Obtuse (greater than 90°)
- Straight (exactly 180°)
- Reflex (greater than 180°)
Properties of Shapes
-
Properties of 2D shapes:
- Sides: lines that make up the shape.
- Vertices: corners of the shape.
- Angles: formed by the sides.
-
Properties of 3D shapes:
- Faces: flat surfaces.
- Edges: lines where faces meet.
- Vertices: corners of the shape.
Types of Shapes
-
2D shapes:
- Triangles: 3 sides, 3 vertices.
- Quadrilaterals: 4 sides, 4 vertices.
- Polygons: 5 or more sides, 5 or more vertices.
- Circles: continuous curved shape.
-
3D shapes:
- Pyramids: triangular base, sloping sides.
- Prisms: rectangular base, flat sides.
- Spheres: continuous curved surface.
Theorems and Postulates
-
Theorems:
- Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (right triangles).
- Perimeter theorem: sum of side lengths is constant.
-
Postulates:
- Ruler postulate: points can be paired with real numbers.
- Angle postulate: angles can be measured and compared.
