Study Notes
Lines and Angles
-
Vertical angles are congruent: When two lines intersect, the angles opposite each other are congruent.
-
Transversal and parallel lines: When a line (transversal) intersects two parallel lines, alternate interior angles are congruent, and corresponding angles are congruent.
-
Perpendicular bisector: A perpendicular bisector of a line segment is the line that intersects the segment at its midpoint and is perpendicular to it. Points on the perpendicular bisector are equidistant from the segment's endpoints.
Triangles
-
Angle sum property: The measures of the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
-
Isosceles triangle: In an isosceles triangle, the two base angles opposite the equal sides are congruent.
-
Midsegment theorem: The segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length.
-
Medians of a triangle: The medians of a triangle, the lines connecting each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side, all intersect at a single point called the centroid.
Parallelograms
-
Opposite sides and angles: In a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent, and opposite angles are congruent.
-
Diagonals: The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
-
Rectangles: Rectangles are a specific type of parallelogram where the diagonals are congruent.
Lines and Angles
- Vertical angles are congruent. Whenever two lines intersect, the angles opposite each other are congruent.
- Alternate interior angles are congruent when a transversal crosses parallel lines. When a line intersects two parallel lines, the angles on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines are congruent.
- Corresponding angles are congruent when a transversal crosses parallel lines. When a line intersects two parallel lines, the angles in the same relative position are congruent.
- Points on a perpendicular bisector of a line segment are equidistant from the segment's endpoints. The perpendicular bisector of a line segment is the line that is perpendicular to the segment and passes through its midpoint, and any point on this bisector is the same distance from both endpoints of the segment.
Triangles
- The measures of the interior angles of a triangle sum to 180 degrees. This is a fundamental property of triangles and can be used to find missing angle measures.
- Base angles of isosceles triangles are congruent. In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are congruent.
- The segment joining midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half the length. This line segment is called the midsegment.
- The medians of a triangle meet at a point. A median of a triangle is a line segment that connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The three medians intersect at a single point called the centroid.
Parallelograms
- Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. This means that the sides that are parallel to each other are also equal in length.
- Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent. Similar to sides, the angles that are opposite each other in a parallelogram are also equal in measure.
- The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. This means that the two diagonals of a parallelogram intersect at their midpoints.
- Rectangles are parallelograms with congruent diagonals. Rectangles have all the properties of parallelograms, and the additional characteristic that their diagonals are equal in length.
