Study Notes
Geometry Essentials
- Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with the study of shapes, sizes, and positions of objects.
Area of Circle
- The area of a circle is found using the formula: A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius of the circle.
- π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14.
- The area of a circle is always in square units.
Circumference of Circle
- The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle.
- The formula to find the circumference of a circle is: C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius.
Area of Trapezoid
- A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with two pairs of opposite sides, where one pair is parallel.
- The formula to find the area of a trapezoid is: A = (1/2)h(b1 + b2), where A is the area, h is the height, and b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel sides.
Area of Triangle
- The formula to find the area of a triangle is: A = (1/2)bh, where A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height.
Perimeter of Triangle
- The perimeter of a triangle is the distance around the triangle.
- The formula to find the perimeter of a triangle is: P = a + b + c, where P is the perimeter, and a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides.
Perimeter of Parallelogram
- A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are parallel.
- The formula to find the perimeter of a parallelogram is: P = 2(a + b), where P is the perimeter, and a and b are the lengths of the sides.
Circumference of Circles
- Circumference is the distance around a circle
- Formula: C = 2 × π × radius (r) or C = π × diameter (d)
- π (pi) is approximately 3.14, a constant ratio of circumference to diameter
- Measuring circumference has real-world applications, such as measuring a circular garden bed or a circular pipe
Area of Parallelograms
- Area is calculated by multiplying base (b) and height (h): A = b × h
- Base and height are perpendicular to each other
- Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length
- Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal
- Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
- Measuring area has real-world applications, such as measuring a rectangular backyard or a rectangular room
Area of Triangles
- Area is calculated by multiplying base (b) and height (h) and dividing by 2: A = (b × h) / 2
- Base and height are perpendicular to each other
- Sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°
- Exterior angles of a triangle are equal to the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles
- Measuring area has real-world applications, such as measuring a triangular garden bed or a triangular roof
