Study Notes
Triangle Classification by Sides
- Triangles can be classified into three types based on side lengths: equilateral, isosceles, and scalene.
- Equilateral Triangle: All three sides are congruent.
- Isosceles Triangle: Has at least two sides that are congruent.
- Scalene Triangle: Contains no congruent sides.
Triangle Classification by Angles
- Triangles can also be classified based on angle measures: acute, obtuse, right, and equiangular.
- Acute Triangle: All three angles are acute (less than 90 degrees).
- Obtuse Triangle: Contains one angle greater than 90 degrees.
- Right Triangle: Has one right angle (exactly 90 degrees).
- Equiangular Triangle: All three angles are congruent.
Triangle Angle Sum
- The sum of the interior angles of a triangle always equals 180°.
Polygon Characteristics
- A polygon is a two-dimensional shape characterized by:
- Straight lines
- Being closed
- No intersecting lines
Regular Polygon Definition
- A regular polygon has both congruent sides and congruent angles.
Common Polygons
- Quadrilateral: A polygon with four sides.
- Pentagon: A polygon with five sides.
- Hexagon: A polygon with six sides.
- Octagon: A polygon with eight sides.
- n-gon: A polygon with n sides, where n can be any integer.
Types of Quadrilaterals
- Trapezoid: A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- Parallelogram: A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.
- Rhombus: A specific type of parallelogram with four congruent sides.
- Rectangle: A parallelogram featuring four right angles.
- Square: A rectangle with both four congruent sides and four right angles.
Quadrilateral Angle Sum
- The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral always equals 360°.
Area Formulas
- Area of a Parallelogram: A = base × height (A = bh).
- Area of a Trapezoid: A = 1/2 × (base1 + base2) × height (A = 1/2(b1+b2)h).
