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.
