Study Notes
Segment Lengths
- Midpoint of a segment divides it into two equal parts.
- Bisectors intersect a segment at its midpoint, allowing for equal partitioning.
- Formula for segment length: ( AB = AM + MB ).
Angle Measures
- Angles in a triangle sum to 180°.
- Exterior angle theorem states that an exterior angle equals the sum of the two opposite interior angles.
- Parallel lines create alternate interior angles that are congruent.
Algebraic Work
- Use algebraic expressions to represent segment lengths and angle measures.
- Solve equations using algebraic methods such as substitution and simplification.
- The relationship can be modeled with equations such as ( AM = \frac{1}{2} AB ).
Straightedge and Compass Constructions
- Basic constructions include:
- Copying a segment: replicate the length of one segment to another.
- Copying an angle: use a compass to replicate the angle.
- Bisecting an angle: finding the angle's midpoint with a compass and straightedge.
- Constructing a perpendicular bisector: find a line perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint.
- Constructing an equilateral triangle using equal lengths for all sides.
- Applications of constructions can be found in solving complex geometric problems.
Problems
-
For the problem involving midpoint ( M ):
- Given ( AM = 4x + 5 ) and ( AB = 4x + 100 ).
- Set up the equation ( AB = 2AM ) to find ( x ) and ( AB ).
-
For segment ( CF ):
- The relationship ( CD = DE = EF ) signifies equal segments.
- With ( CE = 12 ) in, calculate ( CF ) by the equation ( CF = CD + DE + EF ).
-
Finding missing angles:
- Sum of angles: 30° + y + 50° = 180°; solve for y.
- Next set: 40° + 110° + y = 180°; solve for y.
- Final set: 50° + x + y = 180°; solve for x and y.
