Study Notes

Geometry Overview

  • Branch of mathematics concerned with shapes, sizes, and properties of space.
  • Fundamental concepts include points, lines, planes, surfaces, and solids.

Key Concepts

  1. Point

    • A precise location in space with no dimensions.
  2. Line

    • A one-dimensional figure extending infinitely in both directions, defined by two points.
  3. Plane

    • A flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions.
  4. Angle

    • Formed by two rays (sides) meeting at a common endpoint (vertex).
    • Types of angles: acute (< 90°), right (90°), obtuse (> 90°), straight (180°).
  5. Polygon

    • A closed figure with straight sides.
    • Types: triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, etc.
    • Triangle types: equilateral, isosceles, scalene.
    • Quadrilateral types: square, rectangle, trapezoid, parallelogram, rhombus.

Area and Perimeter Formulas

  • Triangle

    • Area: ( A = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height )
    • Perimeter: ( P = a + b + c ) (where a, b, and c are side lengths).
  • Square

    • Area: ( A = side^2 )
    • Perimeter: ( P = 4 \times side )
  • Rectangle

    • Area: ( A = length \times width )
    • Perimeter: ( P = 2(length + width) )
  • Circle

    • Area: ( A = \pi \times radius^2 )
    • Circumference: ( C = 2\pi \times radius )

Solid Geometry

  • Studies three-dimensional figures.
  1. Cube

    • Faces: 6 squares.
    • Volume: ( V = side^3 )
    • Surface Area: ( SA = 6 \times side^2 )
  2. Sphere

    • Volume: ( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi \times radius^3 )
    • Surface Area: ( SA = 4\pi \times radius^2 )
  3. Cylinder

    • Volume: ( V = \pi \times radius^2 \times height )
    • Surface Area: ( SA = 2\pi \times radius \times (radius + height) )

Geometric Constructions

  • Use compass and straightedge to create geometric figures:
    • Bisect angles or segments.
    • Construct perpendicular lines.

Theorems and Postulates

  • Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, ( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ) (where c is the hypotenuse).
  • Sum of Angles in Triangle: The interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°.
  • Parallel Lines: Corresponding angles are equal when a transversal crosses parallel lines.

Coordinate Geometry

  • Combines algebra and geometry using Cartesian coordinates.
  • Points represented as (x, y).
  • Equation of a line: ( y = mx + b ) (m = slope, b = y-intercept).

Applications

  • Used in architecture, engineering, art, and various sciences.
  • Essential for spatial reasoning and problem solving in real-life scenarios.
