Study Notes
Geometry Concepts and Terminology
- Geometry: The study of ideal shapes, their properties, and actions that preserve their geometric traits.
- Polygon: A simple closed curve formed only by line segments.
- Hexagon: A polygon specifically with six sides.
Types of Triangles and Quadrilaterals
- Isosceles Triangle: A triangle with at least one pair of congruent sides.
- Right Triangle: A triangle featuring one right angle.
- Parallelogram: A quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
- Trapezoid: A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.
- Square: A specific type of quadrilateral with four right angles and four congruent sides.
- Rectangle: A quadrilateral with four right angles.
- Rhombus: A quadrilateral with four congruent sides, which can also be a parallelogram.
Angles and Their Properties
- Acute Angle: An angle that measures less than 90 degrees.
- Obtuse Angle: An angle that measures greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
- Complementary Angles: Two angles that sum to 90 degrees.
- Supplementary Angles: Two angles that sum to 180 degrees.
Relationships and Theorems
- Vertical Angles: Opposite angles formed when two lines intersect, which are always congruent.
- Parallel Lines: Two lines in the same plane that do not intersect.
- Perpendicular Lines: Two lines that intersect at a right angle.
- Convex vs. Concave Polygons: Convex polygons curve outward with all diagonals inside, while concave polygons curve inward, with at least one diagonal outside.
Reasoning in Geometry
- Inductive Reasoning: General conclusions drawn from specific facts.
- Deductive Reasoning: Conclusions based on logical arguments.
- Conjecture: A hypothesis about what is true based on observations.
- Counterexample: An example that disproves a conjecture.
- Proof: A deductive argument establishing the truth of a mathematical claim.
- Theorem: A statement that has been proven based on accepted axioms and previously established statements.
Special Cases in Quadrilaterals
- A quadrilateral with two congruent sides may be a kite or rhombus, not necessarily a rectangle.
- A quadrilateral with congruent diagonals is not always a rectangle; it may be an isosceles trapezoid.
- If a quadrilateral has perpendicular diagonals, it is not necessarily a rhombus; it can also be a kite.
- Quadrilaterals with one right angle do not imply that all angles are right angles.
Triangle Congruence Criteria
- ASA (Angle-Side-Angle): Two angles and the included side are congruent.
- SAS (Side-Angle-Side): Two sides and the included angle are congruent.
- SSS (Side-Side-Side): All three sides are congruent.
- AAS (Angle-Angle-Side): Two angles and a non-included side are congruent.
- AA (Angle-Angle): Two angles are congruent.
Measurement Units
- English Units: Include inches, feet, miles, and yards.
- Metric Units: Include millimeters (mm), meters (m), and centimeters (cm).
Vertex Sum of Polygons
- The vertex sum for an n-gon is calculated as (180(n-2)) or equivalently (180n-360).
