    Study Notes

    Geometry Concepts

    • Parallel Lines: Lines on the same plane that do not intersect.

    • Skew Lines: Lines that exist in different planes and do not intersect.

    • Angle: Formed by the union of two rays that share a common endpoint.

    • Complementary Angles: Two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.

    • Supplementary Angles: Two angles that sum to 180 degrees.

    • Adjacent Angles: Angles in the same plane that share a common vertex and side but have no common interior points.

    • Straight Angle: An angle measuring exactly 180 degrees.

    • Right Angle: An angle that measures exactly 90 degrees.

    • Obtuse Angle: An angle measuring greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

    • Acute Angle: An angle that measures less than 90 degrees.

    • Vertical Angles: Angles formed when two straight lines intersect, which are opposite each other and equal in measure.

    • Transversal: A line that intersects two different lines at two distinct points.

    • Polygon: A closed figure in a plane created by three or more straight line segments.

    • Regular Polygon: A polygon with all sides of equal length and all interior angles of equal measure.

    • Similar Polygons: Polygons where corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are in proportion.

    • Sum of Interior Angles of a Triangle: The total measure of the interior angles is always 180 degrees.

    • Similar Figures: Figures that have corresponding sides of equal length.

    • Sum of Interior Angles of a Quadrilateral: The total measure of the interior angles is always 360 degrees.
