Study Notes

Key Terms and Definitions

  • Adjacent: Refers to two geometric figures or angles that share a common side without overlapping.
  • Congruent: Indicates figures that are identical in size and shape.
  • Alternate Exterior Angles: Pairs of congruent angles located outside two parallel lines and on opposite sides of a transversal.
  • Alternate Interior Angles: Pairs of congruent angles found inside two parallel lines on opposite sides of a transversal.
  • Converse: A restructured theorem formed by reversing the earlier components of the original theorem.
  • Corresponding Angles: Angles that occupy the same relative position at the intersection of a transversal with two parallel lines; these angles are congruent.
  • Deductive Reasoning: A logical reasoning approach that utilizes established facts, definitions, or properties to produce a logical conclusion.
  • Equiangular: Refers to a polygon with all angles congruent to each other.
  • Exterior Angles: The four angles located outside of two parallel lines that are intersected by a transversal.
  • Formal Proof: A structured two-column proof consisting of statements and corresponding reasons supporting those statements.

Triangle Geometry Concepts

  • Hypotenuse: The longest side of a right triangle, positioned opposite the right angle.
  • Inductive Reasoning: A reasoning method that formulates a general conclusion based on specific examples or patterns observed.
  • Informal Proof: Generally takes the form of a paragraph that articulates why a particular conjecture or statement is valid.
  • Interior Angles: The four angles situated within the region defined by two parallel lines intersected by a transversal.
  • Legs: The two sides of a right triangle that create the right angle.
  • Paragraph Proof: A coherent paragraph that justifies the truth of a statement or conjecture through logical reasoning.

Geometric Properties

  • Parallel Lines: Lines that exist within the same plane yet never meet or intersect.
  • Perpendicular Lines: Lines that cross to form right angles, indicating a 90-degree intersection.
  • Polygon: A closed geometric figure characterized by three or more connected line segments, also termed as a many-sided figure.
  • Proof: A logical discourse in which statements made are substantiated by recognized true statements.
  • Pythagorean Theorem: A fundamental relation in right triangles: the square of the hypotenuse lengths (c) equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b).
  • Regular Polygon: A type of polygon that is both equilateral (all sides equal) and equiangular (all angles equal).
  • Remote Interior Angles: Angles in a triangle that are not directly adjacent to a given exterior angle.
  • Theorem: A declarative statement that can be rigorously proven based on previously established theorems or axioms.
  • Transversal: A line that crosses two or more other lines, often creating various angles.
  • Triangle: A geometric shape composed of three line segments that connect only at their endpoints.
