Study Notes

Area of Shapes

The area of a square is calculated by squaring the length of one side.
Congruent figures have identical areas.
The area of a region is found by summing the areas of its non-overlapping parts.
For rectangles, area is the product of its base and height.
The area of a parallelogram is derived from multiplying a base by the height associated with it.
The area of a triangle is half the product of its base and height.
A rhombus' area is calculated as half the product of its diagonals.
The area of a trapezoid is determined by half the product of its height and the sum of its bases.

Properties of Trapezoids

The median of a trapezoid represents half of the sum of its bases.

Regular Polygons

The center of a regular polygon is the point at the center of its circumscribed circle.
The radius of a regular polygon measures the distance from its center to any of its vertices.
A central angle in a regular polygon is formed by two radii connecting consecutive vertices.
The apothem is the perpendicular distance from the center of the polygon to one of its sides.
The area of a regular polygon can be calculated as half the product of its apothem and its perimeter.

Circle Properties

The circumference of a circle can be calculated using the formula 2πr.
The area of a circle is given by the formula πr².
A sector of a circle consists of a region defined by two radii and the arc between them.

Triangle Area Ratios

For triangles with equal heights, the area ratios correspond to the ratios of their bases.
For triangles with equal bases, the area ratios match the ratios of their heights.
Similar triangles have area ratios that equal the square of their scale factor.

Ratios and Scale Factors

For two similar figures with a scale factor a:b, their perimeter ratios will be a:b.
The area ratio of similar figures with a scale factor a:b will be a²:b².

The probability of a randomly chosen point P on segment AB being on segment AC is the ratio of the length of AC to the length of AB.
When selecting a point P randomly within a larger region S, the probability of it being in a smaller region R is the ratio of the area of R to the area of S.
