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).
