    Study Notes

    Triangle Properties

    • Median: Segment connecting a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
    • Centroid: Intersection point of medians, divides each median into segments with a 2:1 ratio; acts as the triangle's center of gravity.
    • Altitude: Perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.
    • Orthocenter: Concurrency point of the three altitudes in a triangle.

    Perpendicular and Bisector Concepts

    • Perpendicular Bisector: Line or segment that intersects another segment at its midpoint at a right angle.
    • Circumcenter: Meeting point of the three perpendicular bisectors; center of the circle circumscribing the triangle.
    • Angle Bisector: Segment that divides an angle into two equal angles.
    • Incenter: Concurrency point of angle bisectors; center of the inscribed circle that touches all sides.

    Polygon Definitions

    • Circumscribes: A circle surrounding a polygon where all vertices lie on the circle.
    • Inscribed: A circle that touches each side of a polygon at exactly one point.
    • Parallelogram: Quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.
    • Quadrilateral Types:
      • Rectangle: Four right angles.
      • Rhombus: Four congruent sides.
      • Square: Four congruent sides and four right angles.
      • Trapezoid: Quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
      • Isosceles Trapezoid: A trapezoid with congruent non-parallel sides.

    Trapezoid Features

    • Bases: The parallel sides of a trapezoid.
    • Legs: The non-parallel sides of a trapezoid.
    • Median of a Trapezoid: Segment connecting midpoints of the legs; parallel to the bases and averages their lengths.

    Perpendicular Bisector Theorems

    • 4.5 (PBT): A point on the perpendicular bisector is equidistant from segment endpoints.
    • 4.6 (CPBT): A point equidistant from segment endpoints lies on the perpendicular bisector.

    Angle Bisector Theorems

    • 4.7 (PBES): A point on the angle bisector is equidistant from the angle sides.
    • 4.8 (CPBES): A point equidistant from the sides of an angle lies on its bisector.

    Parallelogram Properties

    • 5.1 (OSC): Opposite sides are congruent.
    • 5.2 (OAC): Opposite angles are congruent.
    • 5.3 (DB): Diagonal bisectors intersect at their midpoints.
    • 5.4 (Converse of OSC→P): Quadrilateral with congruent opposite sides is a parallelogram.
    • 5.5 (OPCP): If one pair of sides is both congruent and parallel, it's a parallelogram.
    • 5.6 (Converse of OAC→P): Quadrilateral with congruent opposite angles is a parallelogram.
    • 5.7 (DB→P): If diagonals bisect each other, it's a parallelogram.

    Additional Theorems

    • 5.8 (PLEA): All points on one line are equidistant from a parallel line.
    • 5.9 (VBT): If multiple parallel lines cut congruent segments on one transversal, they do so on others.
    • 5.10 (SS): A line through the midpoint of one side, parallel to another, passes through the third side's midpoint.
    • 5.11 (Midline theorem): Segment joining midpoints of two sides is parallel to the third side and half its length.

    Rectangles and Rhombuses

    • 5.12 (DRC): Diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.
    • 5.13 (DRhP): Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular.
    • 5.14 (DRhBA): Each diagonal bisects two angles of the rhombus.

    Right Triangles and Parallelograms

    • 5.15 (MHRT): Midpoint of the hypotenuse in a right triangle is equidistant from all triangle vertices.
    • 5.16 (PRR): If an angle in a parallelogram is right, the parallelogram is a rectangle.
    • 5.17 (CSC): If two consecutive sides of a parallelogram are congruent, it is a rhombus.
