Study Notes

Collinear and Concurrent

  • Collinear points are three or more points lying on the same line.
  • Concurrent lines are three or more lines that intersect at a single point.

Geometric Relations

  • Point B is between points A and C if A, B, and C are distinct collinear points with AB + BC = AC.
  • Points B and C are on the same side of point A if A, B, and C are collinear and A does not lie between B and C.

Line and Its Components

  • A line segment consists of two endpoints and all points in between.
  • A ray has a fixed starting point and extends infinitely in one direction.
  • Opposite rays share a common endpoint and extend in opposite directions.

Angles

  • An angle is formed by two rays that meet at a common endpoint known as the vertex.
  • A point lies in the interior of an angle if two points exist on each ray, and the interior point lies between them.

Congruence

  • Congruent line segments are those of equal length.
  • Congruent angles measure the same, indicating equality in angle size.

Midpoints and Bisectors

  • The midpoint of a line segment is the point dividing it into two congruent segments.
  • A line segment bisector intersects a segment at its midpoint.

Angle Types

  • A right angle measures exactly 90 degrees.
  • Acute angles measure less than 90 degrees and more than 0 degrees.
  • Obtuse angles are greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

Angle Relationships

  • Complementary angles' measures sum to 90 degrees.
  • Supplementary angles' measures add up to 180 degrees.

Intersections and Perpendicularity

  • Lines intersect if they share at least one point.
  • Perpendicular lines intersect at a right angle (90 degrees).

Angle and Line Segment Properties

  • An angle bisector divides an angle into two congruent angles and originates from the angle's vertex.
  • A reversed midpoint and segment bisector principles affirm congruence in segments created through division.

Angular Relationships and Properties

  • Adjacent angles share a vertex and a side but do not overlap.
  • Linear pairs consist of two adjacent angles whose non-shared sides are opposite rays, forming a straight line together.
