Study Notes
Angles
- Supplementary angles sum to 180 degrees.
- Complementary angles sum to 90 degrees.
- Vertical angles are opposite angles formed when two lines intersect and are congruent.
- Adjacent angles share a common vertex and side.
Basic Properties for Proofs
- Reflexive Property: a is equal to a.
- Symmetric Property: if a equals b, then b equals a.
- Transitive Property: if a equals b and b equals c, then a equals c.
- Substitution allows for replacing equal values in equations.
- Addition and subtraction properties maintain equality during operations.
- Multiplication and division can be applied to both sides of an equation as long as the divisor is not zero.
- Commutative Property indicates that order does not affect addition or multiplication.
- Associative Property highlights grouping does not affect addition or multiplication.
- Distributive Property connects multiplication with addition.
Parallel Lines and Transversals
- Corresponding angles formed are congruent when parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
- Alternate interior angles are congruent.
- Alternate exterior angles are congruent.
- Consecutive interior angles sum to 180 degrees (supplementary).
Proving Lines are Parallel
- Congruent corresponding angles imply lines are parallel.
- Congruent alternate interior angles signify parallel lines.
- Congruent alternate exterior angles indicate lines are parallel.
- Supplementary consecutive interior angles confirm parallelism.
- Lines sharing the same slope are parallel.
Proving a Right Angle
- Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles. Can be demonstrated using the slope formula or given values.
Proving Congruent Triangles
- Congruence can be established via:
- Side-Angle-Side (SAS)
- Side-Side-Side (SSS)
- Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)
- Angle-Angle-Side (AAS)
- CPCTC: Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.
