Study Notes
Definitions and Classifications in Geometry
- A right angle is defined as an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees.
- Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees. For example, if one angle measures 30 degrees, its complementary angle measures 60 degrees.
Parallelograms and Triangles
- A parallelogram is characterized by having opposite sides that are both equal in length and parallel to each other.
- A triangle with exactly one obtuse angle is classified as an obtuse triangle, which means one of its angles exceeds 90 degrees.
Polygons and Lines
- A regular polygon is defined as a polygon where all sides and angles are equal, ensuring symmetry and uniformity in shape.
- Skew lines are lines that do not intersect and are not parallel, existing in different planes.
