Study Notes
Building Blocks of Geometry
- Points represent exact locations in space and have no dimensions.
- Lines are straight paths extending infinitely in both directions, characterized by two points.
- Line segments are portions of a line with two endpoints.
- Rays have one endpoint and extend infinitely in one direction.
- Angles are formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint, measured in degrees.
Theorems about Lines and Angles
- Vertical angles are equal when two lines intersect, forming opposite angles.
- Corresponding angles are equal when a transversal crosses parallel lines.
- Alternate interior angles are congruent when a transversal intersects parallel lines.
- The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always equal to 180 degrees.
Triangle Congruence Theorems
- SSS (Side-Side-Side) congruence states that triangles are congruent if all three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides of another triangle.
- SAS (Side-Angle-Side) congruence requires two sides and the angle between them in one triangle to be equal to the corresponding elements in another triangle.
- ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) states that two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding elements of another triangle.
- AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) theorem indicates that two angles and a non-included side are sufficient for triangle congruence.
- HL (Hypotenuse-Leg) theorem applies specifically to right triangles, where the hypotenuse and one leg must be equal for congruence.
