    Study Notes

    Two-Column Proofs in Geometry

    • Two-column proofs consist of statements and reasons structured side by side to demonstrate logical reasoning in geometry.
    • Congruent angles are indicated with the symbol "≅," which signifies equality in measure.

    Congruence Properties

    • Symmetric Property: If angle ABC is congruent to angle DEF, then DEF is congruent to ABC.
    • Reflexive Property: Any segment or angle is congruent to itself (e.g., CD ≅ CD).
    • Transitive Property: If angle ABC ≅ angle DEF and angle DEF ≅ angle GHI, then angle ABC ≅ angle GHI.

    Key Angle Relationships

    • Adjacent Angles: Share a common side and vertex, forming a straight angle together.
    • Vertical Angles: Formed by two intersecting lines, they are always congruent to each other.
    • Linear Pair: Consists of adjacent angles whose noncommon sides are opposite rays, always summing up to 180 degrees.

    Angle Measures

    • Complementary Angles: Two angles that add up to 90 degrees.
    • Supplementary Angles: Two angles whose measures sum to 180 degrees.

    Assumptions in Geometry

    • Certain characteristics may be assumed from diagrams, such as adjacent angles and vertical angles.
    • Attributes not assumed from diagrams include specific segment measures, angle measures, and the nature of parallel or perpendicular lines.

    Tools for Geometric Constructions

    • Compass: A tool used for drawing circles and arcs, essential in geometric constructions.
    • Straightedge: A ruler without markings used to draw straight lines.
    • Perpendicular Bisector: A line that divides a segment into two equal parts at a right angle.

    Importance of Properties and Definitions

    • Understanding geometric properties and definitions is crucial for proving statements in geometry and completing proofs efficiently.
    • Geometric constructions must adhere to logical reasoning and can be confirmed through pairwise relationships like congruence and measures.
