Study Notes

  • Center: Point equidistant from all points on a circle.
  • Circle: Round figure defined by points at an equal distance from the center.
  • Circumference: Total distance around a circle.
  • Diameter: Line segment that runs through the center, connecting two points on the circle's boundary.
  • Radius: Line segment from the center to any point on the circumference, half of the diameter.

Geometric Figures

  • Composite Figure: Formed by combining simpler geometric shapes.
  • Regular Pyramid: Pyramid with a base that is a regular polygon and lateral faces that are congruent isosceles triangles.

Surface and Volume Measurements

  • Lateral Face: Any face of a polyhedron that is not a base.
  • Lateral Surface Area: Total area of all lateral faces in a solid object.
  • Surface Area: Overall area covering the external surface of an object.
  • Volume: Total space contained within a solid object.

Special Terms and Formulas

  • Semicircle: Half of a circle.
  • Slant Height: Height measured from the base to the apex along the lateral face of a pyramid.
  • Pi (π): Mathematical constant representing the ratio of circumference to diameter, approximately 3.14 or expressed as 22/7.

Formulas

  • Area of a Circle: Calculated using the formula A = πr², where r is the radius.
  • Circumference of a Circle: Given by the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius.
