Study Notes
Points And Lines
- Point: a location in space represented by a set of coordinates (x, y, z)
- Line: a set of points that extend infinitely in two directions
- Line segment: a part of a line with a fixed length
- Ray: a line that extends infinitely in one direction from a point
- Midpoint: the point that divides a line segment into two equal parts
- Distance formula: used to calculate the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2): √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Angles And Measurements
- Angle: formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint (vertex)
-
Types of angles:
- Acute angle: less than 90°
- Right angle: exactly 90°
- Obtuse angle: greater than 90° but less than 180°
- Straight angle: exactly 180°
-
Angle measurements:
- Degrees: a unit of measurement for angles (1° = 1/360 of a circle)
- Radians: a unit of measurement for angles (1 rad = 180°/π)
Shapes And Figures
-
Types of shapes:
- 2D shapes: flat shapes with no thickness (e.g. triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons)
- 3D shapes: solid shapes with thickness (e.g. pyramids, prisms, spheres)
-
Properties of shapes:
- Vertices: corners of a shape
- Edges: sides of a shape
- Faces: surfaces of a shape
-
Types of figures:
- Congruent figures: identical shapes and sizes
- Similar figures: same shape but different sizes
Coordinate Geometry
- Coordinate plane: a grid system used to graph points and shapes
- X-axis: the horizontal axis of the coordinate plane
- Y-axis: the vertical axis of the coordinate plane
- Ordered pairs: used to represent points on the coordinate plane (x, y)
- Graphing shapes: used to visualize and analyze shapes and figures
Probability
- Experiment: an action or situation that can produce a set of outcomes
- Outcome: a possible result of an experiment
- Sample space: the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment
- Event: a set of outcomes of an experiment
- Probability of an event: a number between 0 and 1 that represents the likelihood of an event occurring
-
Types of probability:
- Theoretical probability: based on the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of outcomes
- Experimental probability: based on the results of repeated experiments
