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
-
Point
- A precise location in space with no dimensions.
-
Line
- A one-dimensional figure extending infinitely in both directions, defined by two points.
-
Plane
- A flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions.
-
Angle
- Formed by two rays (sides) meeting at a common endpoint (vertex).
- Types of angles: acute (< 90°), right (90°), obtuse (> 90°), straight (180°).
-
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.
-
Cube
- Faces: 6 squares.
- Volume: ( V = side^3 )
- Surface Area: ( SA = 6 \times side^2 )
-
Sphere
- Volume: ( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi \times radius^3 )
- Surface Area: ( SA = 4\pi \times radius^2 )
-
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.
