    Study Notes

    Geometry

    Geometry is an essential branch of mathematics that deals with properties, dimensions, shapes, sizes, distances, angles and positions of points, lines, surfaces and solids. It involves understanding the relationships between different shapes and their properties.

    Triangles

    A triangle is one of the basic polygonal shapes in geometry, formed by three straight sides connected end to end. There are several types of triangles, such as equilateral, scalene, isosceles, right angled, obtuse angled, acute angled, etc., based on their side lengths and angle measures. In an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal and all interior angles are congruent and measure (\frac{60^\circ}{1}). An acute triangle has all interior angles less than (90^\circ), while an obtuse triangle has one acute angle less than (90^\circ) and two obtuse angles. A right triangle has exactly one right angle ((90^\circ)).

    Area and Perimeter of Triangles

    The area of a triangle can be calculated using Heron's formula or by dividing it into smaller triangles. The perimeter of a triangle is simply the sum of its side lengths. For example, if a triangle has side lengths (a), (b), and (c), then its area can be found using the formula: [ \mathrm{Area}=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} ] where (s=\frac{a+b+c}2). The perimeter would be: [ \mathrm{Perimeter}=a + b + c ]

    Quadrilaterals

    Quadrilaterals are four sided polygons, meaning they have four edges and four vertices. Some common quadrilaterals include squares, rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, rhombuses, and so on.

    Area and Perimeter of Quadrilaterals

    The area of a rectangle can be calculated as the product of its length and width ((Area=lw)). The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of its four sides ((Perimeter=2l+2w)). For other quadrilaterals such as parallelograms and trapezoids, their area can also be found using formulas based on side lengths and angles.

    Volume and Surface Area

    Solids with Constant Cross Sections

    For solids like cylinders, cones, spheres or pyramids whose cross sections are constant, the volume and surface area can be calculated using standard formulas. The volume of a sphere for example, can be calculated using the formula (V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3), where (r) represents the radius of the sphere. The surface area of a sphere can then be calculated as (SA=4\pi r^2). Similarly, the volumes of cylinders, cones, and prisms can be determined using these types of formulas.

    Solids with Varying Cross Sections

    However, for more complex solids whose cross-sectional area varies across different parts of the solid, finding an exact volume can become much harder. In this case, numerical methods may be used to approximate the volume, such as integrating over the range of possible values of (x) or using a technique known as slicing, which cuts the object into many thin layers and adds up the volumes of those layers. The surface area can also become more complicated to find for these types of solids.
