Study Notes
Angle Properties of a Triangle
- The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees
- The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side
Ratio of Angle Measures
- The ratio of the angles in a triangle is 2:4:9
- Let the angle measures be 2x, 4x, and 9x
- The sum of the measures of the three angles is 180 degrees, so 2x + 4x + 9x = 180
- Solving the equation, we get x = 12
- Therefore, the measures of the three angles are: 2x = 24 degrees, 4x = 48 degrees, and 9x = 108 degrees
Polygons
- A polygon is a closed figure formed by joining line segments (sides) at their endpoints (vertices)
- Polygons are named based on the number of sides
- A regular polygon has all sides congruent and all angles congruent
Quadrilaterals
- A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides, four angles, and four vertices
- The word "quadrilateral" comes from the Latin words "quadri" (meaning four) and "latus" (meaning side)
Perimeter and Area
- The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of all its sides
- The area of a polygon is the number of unit squares that cover its surface
Circle Properties
- A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the center
- Important terms include:
- Radius: The distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circle
- Diameter: The distance across the circle through the center, equal to twice the radius
- Chord: A line segment connecting two points on the circle
- Secant: A line that intersects a circle at two points
- Tangent: A line that touches a circle at one point
Point
- Indicates position or location
- Has no dimension but can be represented by a dot
- Named using a capital letter
Line
- An infinitely long and straight set of points
- Has no thickness or width
- Named using any two points on the line or a small letter
Line Segment
- A path between two points
- Denoted by naming its endpoints
Ray
- Has only one endpoint and extends indefinitely in one direction from that point
- Named using the endpoint and another point on the ray
Plane
- An infinitely wide and flat set of points
- Has no thickness, and two dimensions
Postulates
- Statements accepted as true without proof
- Postulates define basic geometric concepts and properties
Bisector and Midpoint
- Midpoint: A point that divides a line segment into two equal parts
- Bisector: A line, ray, or segment that divides another line segment into two equal parts at the midpoint
Angle
- The union of two rays that share a common endpoint, the vertex
- The rays are the sides of the angle
Angle Relationships
- Equal angles: Angles with the same measure
- Angle bisector: A ray that divides an angle into two equal angles
- Vertical angles: Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines
- Complementary angles: Two angles whose sum is 90 degrees
- Supplementary angles: Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees
Lines and Transversals
- Parallel lines: Coplanar lines that do not intersect
- Intersecting lines: Coplanar lines that share exactly one point
- Skew lines: Two lines that do not intersect and are not in the same plane
- Transversal: A line that intersects two or more coplanar lines at different points
Perpendicular Lines
- Lines (rays or segments) that meet to form right angles
