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.
