Study Notes
Midpoint and Segment Bisector
- A midpoint divides a segment into two equal parts.
- For example, if AB = 10, the midpoint M divides AB into AM = 5 and MB = 5.
- A segment bisector is a line, segment, or ray that divides a segment into two equal parts.
- For instance, line CD bisects AB at point M.
Angle Bisector
- An angle bisector divides an angle into two congruent angles.
- If ∠XYZ = 60°, the angle bisector splits it into two 30° angles.
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
- Parallel lines never intersect and are equidistant at all points.
- For example, lines l and m are parallel if l ∥ m.
- Perpendicular lines intersect at a right angle (90°).
- For example, line n is perpendicular to line p if n ⊥ p.
Complementary and Supplementary Angles
- Complementary angles add up to 90°.
- For example, ∠PQR = 40° and ∠RQS = 50° are complementary.
- Supplementary angles add up to 180°.
- For example, ∠ABC = 110° and ∠CDE = 70° are supplementary.
Transitive Property
- If A = B and B = C, then A = C.
- For example, if AB = CD and CD = EF, then AB = EF.
Vertical Angles
- Vertical angles are opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines.
- Vertical angles are congruent (equal).
Medians and Altitudes
- A median of a triangle connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
- An altitude of a triangle is a line segment from a vertex that is perpendicular to the opposite side (or its extension).
Congruent Triangles and CPCTC
- Two triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are congruent.
- CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent) is a principle used when proving that particular angles or sides in congruent triangles are in fact congruent.
- For example, if △ABC ≅ △DEF, then AB ≅ DE, BC ≅ EF, and AC ≅ DF.
Example involving triangles
- In △VWX, ∠V = 50°, ∠W = 70°, and VX = 8.
- This demonstrates how knowing parts of one triangle can indicate congruent triangles.
Additional Information
- Congruent triangles example: If △STU ≅ △VWX.
- CPCTC is used in proofs to show congruency of other parts in congruent triangles.
- If △ABC ≅ △DEF, then AB ≅ DE, BC ≅ EF, and AC ≅ DF.
- CPCTC is helpful in proofs when dealing with overlapping triangles or split triangles.
