Study Notes
Geometry Basics
- Geometry studies shapes, sizes, and spatial relationships.
- A point is a location in space with no dimension.
- A line is a set of points extending infinitely in two directions.
- A plane is a flat surface extending infinitely in all directions.
Lines
- Collinear points: Points that lie on the same line.
- Coplanar points: Points that lie on the same plane.
- Intersecting lines: Lines that share a common point.
- Parallel lines: Coplanar lines that never intersect.
- Skew lines: Noncoplanar lines that never intersect.
- Concurrent lines: Three or more lines that intersect at a single point.
Planes
- A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely.
- Three noncollinear points determine a plane.
- Two intersecting lines determine a plane.
- Two parallel lines determine a plane.
Angles
- An angle is formed by two rays with a common endpoint (vertex).
- Adjacent angles: Angles that share a common vertex and side, but have no common interior points.
- Complementary angles: Two angles whose measures add up to 90°.
- Supplementary angles: Two angles whose measures add up to 180°.
- Linear pair: Adjacent angles that form a straight line (sum of 180°).
- Vertical angles: Opposite angles formed by intersecting lines. Vertical angles are congruent.
- Acute angle: An angle measuring less than 90°.
- Right angle: An angle measuring exactly 90°.
- Obtuse angle: An angle measuring greater than 90° but less than 180°.
Angle Measurement
- Angles are measured in degrees.
- A protractor is used to measure angles.
- An angle bisector divides an angle into two congruent angles.
Line Segments and Rays
- A line segment is a part of a line with two endpoints.
- A ray is a part of a line with one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction.
