Study Notes
Lines and Angles
- A line extends infinitely in both directions; a line segment has two endpoints.
- An angle is formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint (vertex).
- Congruent line segments have equal lengths; congruent angles have equal measures.
- Line segment length can be estimated by comparison to known lengths.
- Angle size can be estimated by comparing to a right angle (90°).
Angles on a Straight Line & at a Point
- Angles on a straight line add up to 180°.
- A reflex angle measures more than 180° but less than 360°.
- Angles at a point add up to 360°.
Complementary, Supplementary & Conjugate Angles
- Complementary angles add up to 90°.
- Supplementary angles add up to 180°.
- Conjugate angles add up to 360°.
Geometric Constructions
- Line Segment Construction: Construct a line segment of a given length using a compass and ruler.
- Perpendicular Bisector Construction: Construct a line perpendicular to and bisecting a given line segment using a compass and ruler.
- Perpendicular Line Construction: Construct a line perpendicular to a given line from a given point using a compass and ruler.
- Parallel Line Construction: Construct a line parallel to a given line through a given point using a compass and ruler.
- Angle Construction: Construct angles of specific sizes (e.g., 60°) using a compass and ruler.
- Angle Bisector Construction: Construct the bisector of a given angle using a compass and ruler.
Intersecting Lines
- Vertically opposite angles are equal.
- Adjacent angles on a straight line are supplementary (add up to 180°).
- If two intersecting lines are perpendicular, all four angles are right angles (90°).
Parallel Lines and Transversals
- A transversal is a line intersecting two or more other lines.
- Corresponding angles are equal when lines are parallel.
- Alternate angles are equal when lines are parallel.
- Consecutive interior angles are supplementary (add up to 180°) when lines are parallel.
Angles of Elevation and Depression
- Angle of elevation: Angle between the horizontal and the line of sight when looking upwards.
- Angle of depression: Angle between the horizontal and the line of sight when looking downwards.
Lines and Angles
- A line extends infinitely; a line segment has defined endpoints.
- An angle is formed by two rays from a common vertex.
- Congruent lines/angles have equal lengths/measures.
- Line segment length and angle size can be estimated by comparison.
Angles on a Straight Line & at a Point
- Angles on a straight line sum to 180°.
- Reflex angles measure >180° and <360°.
- Angles at a point sum to 360°.
Complementary, Supplementary & Conjugate Angles
- Complementary angles sum to 90°.
- Supplementary angles sum to 180°.
- Conjugate angles sum to 360°.
Geometric Constructions
- Line segments, perpendicular bisectors, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, angles, and angle bisectors can all be constructed using a compass and straightedge. Specific constructions involve precise steps using these tools.
Intersecting Lines
- Vertically opposite angles are equal.
- Adjacent angles on a straight line are supplementary.
- Perpendicular intersecting lines create four 90° angles.
Parallel Lines and Transversals
- A transversal intersects two or more lines.
- With parallel lines, corresponding angles are equal.
- With parallel lines, alternate angles are equal.
- With parallel lines, consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
Angles of Elevation and Depression
- Angle of elevation measures upward from the horizontal.
- Angle of depression measures downward from the horizontal.
Polygon Basics
- A polygon is a closed shape with straight sides.
- Triangles, quadrilaterals, and pentagons are common examples.
Interior Angle Sum
- The sum of a polygon's interior angles is (n - 2) * 180°, where 'n' is the number of sides.
- Triangles have 180°, quadrilaterals have 360°, pentagons have 540°, and hexagons have 720°.
Regular Polygon Interior Angles
- In a regular polygon (all sides and angles equal), each interior angle measures [(n - 2) * 180°] / n.
Exterior Angles
- The sum of any polygon's exterior angles is always 360°.
- For regular polygons, each exterior angle is 360° / n.
Interior & Exterior Angle Relationship
- Interior and exterior angles at any vertex are supplementary; they add up to 180°.
Polygon Types
- Regular polygons have equal sides and angles.
- Irregular polygons have unequal sides or angles.
