Study Notes
Geometry
Points, Lines, and Planes
- A point is a location in space, represented by a set of coordinates (x, y, z).
- A line is a set of points that extend infinitely in two directions.
- A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions.
Angles
- An angle is formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex.
- Angles can be classified as:
- Acute: less than 90°
- Right: exactly 90°
- Obtuse: greater than 90° but less than 180°
- Straight: exactly 180°
- Reflex: greater than 180° but less than 360°
Properties of Shapes
- Congruent figures have the same size and shape.
- Similar figures have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.
- Symmetry occurs when a shape can be divided into two identical parts.
- Perimeter is the distance around a shape.
- Area is the amount of space inside a shape.
Types of Shapes
-
Triangles:
- Equilateral: all sides are equal
- Isosceles: two sides are equal
- Scalene: no sides are equal
-
Quadrilaterals:
- Rectangle: all angles are right angles
- Square: all sides are equal and all angles are right angles
- Rhombus: all sides are equal, but not all angles are right angles
-
Polygons:
- Regular: all sides and angles are equal
- Irregular: not all sides and angles are equal
-
Circles:
- Center: the point equidistant from all points on the circle
- Radius: the distance from the center to any point on the circle
- Circumference: the distance around the circle
