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 extending infinitely in two directions
- A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions
Angles and Measurements
- An angle is formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint (vertex)
-
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
-
Measurement units:
- Degrees (°): used to measure angles
- Units of length (e.g. meters, feet): used to measure distances and lengths
Properties of Shapes
-
Types of shapes:
- 2D shapes: flat shapes with length and width (e.g. triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons)
- 3D shapes: solid shapes with length, width, and height (e.g. pyramids, prisms, spheres)
-
Properties of 2D shapes:
- Number of sides
- Number of angles
- Types of angles (e.g. acute, right, obtuse)
- Sum of interior angles (e.g. 180° for triangles, 360° for quadrilaterals)
-
Properties of 3D shapes:
- Number of faces
- Number of edges
- Number of vertices
- Volume (e.g. cubic units)
Theorems and Formulas
-
Theorems:
- Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (for right triangles)
- Angle sum theorem: sum of interior angles of a polygon = (n-2) × 180°
-
Formulas:
- Perimeter of a polygon: P = n × side length
- Area of a triangle: A = (base × height) / 2
- Volume of a rectangular prism: V = length × width × height
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 extending infinitely in two directions.
- A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions.
Angles and Measurements
- An angle is formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint (vertex).
- Angles can be classified into four types: acute (less than 90 degrees), right (exactly 90 degrees), obtuse (greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees), and straight (exactly 180 degrees).
- Degrees (°) are used to measure angles, while units of length (e.g. meters, feet) are used to measure distances and lengths.
Properties of Shapes
- Shapes can be classified into two categories: 2D shapes (flat shapes with length and width) and 3D shapes (solid shapes with length, width, and height).
- 2D shapes have properties such as number of sides, number of angles, types of angles, and sum of interior angles.
- 3D shapes have properties such as number of faces, number of edges, number of vertices, and volume.
Theorems and Formulas
- The Pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 for right triangles.
- The angle sum theorem states that the sum of interior angles of a polygon is (n-2) × 180°.
- Formulas for finding perimeter, area, and volume of different shapes include: P = n × side length for perimeter of a polygon, A = (base × height) / 2 for area of a triangle, and V = length × width × height for volume of a rectangular prism.
