Study Notes
Quadrilateral Classification
- Quadrilaterals are polygons with four sides.
- Different types include parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, squares, trapezoids, isosceles trapezoids, and kites.
Sum of Angles in Quadrilaterals
- The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
Properties of Parallelograms
- Opposite sides are parallel and congruent.
- Opposite angles are congruent.
- Consecutive angles are supplementary (add up to 180 degrees).
- Diagonals bisect each other.
Theorems on Rectangles
- All angles are right angles (90 degrees).
- Diagonals are congruent and bisect each other.
Pythagorean Theorem
- In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (legs). a² + b² = c²
Theorems on Rhombuses
- All sides are congruent.
- Diagonals are perpendicular to each other.
- Diagonals bisect opposite angles.
Theorems on Squares
- All sides are congruent.
- All angles are right angles (90 degrees).
- Diagonals are congruent, perpendicular, and bisect opposite angles.
Midline Theorem
- The segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half as long.
Trapezoids
- A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.
Isosceles Trapezoids
- A trapezoid with non-parallel sides congruent.
Median Properties of Kites
- A kite has two pairs of adjacent congruent sides.
- The diagonals are perpendicular.
- One diagonal bisects the other.
Ratio and Proportion
- Ratio is a comparison of two quantities.
- Proportion is an equality of two ratios.
Introduction to Similar Triangles
- Similar triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. Corresponding angles are congruent, and the ratios of corresponding sides are equal (proportional).
Scale Factor
- The ratio between corresponding lengths of similar figures.
