Study Notes
Angle Definition
- An angle is made by two rays meeting at a point, the vertex.
- This angle can be named in different ways, e.g., ∠ACB, ∠BCA, or ∠C.
- The sides of the angle are the rays, and the vertex is where they join.
Protractor
- A protractor is used to measure angles in degrees (°).
Parallel Lines
- Parallel lines never intersect no matter how much they are extended.
- They are denoted by ||, for example, c || d.
Perpendicular Lines
- Perpendicular lines intersect at a right angle.
- They are denoted by ⊥, for example, b ⊥ c.
Transversal Line
- A transversal line cuts through two or more other lines at distinct points.
- Example: lines a and b are transversal lines.
Types of Angles Formed by a Transversal and Parallel Lines
- Interior Angles: Angles inside the two parallel lines, e.g., ∠23, ∠25, ∠26, ∠27, ∠28, ∠29, ∠10.
- Exterior Angles: Angles outside the two parallel lines, e.g., ∠21, ∠22, ∠24, ∠11, ∠12, ∠13, ∠14.
Types of Angles
- Adjacent Angles: Angles sharing one vertex and one side, e.g., ∠10 & ∠14, ∠25 & ∠26.
- Alternate Interior Angles: Interior angles on opposite sides of the transversal line, e.g., ∠26 & ∠29, ∠3 & ∠8.
- Alternate Exterior Angles: Exterior angles on opposite sides of the transversal line, e.g., ∠21 & ∠14, ∠24 & ∠11.
- Same-side Interior Angles: Interior angles on the same side of the transversal line, e.g., ∠23 & ∠27, ∠26 & ∠10.
- Same-side Exterior Angles: Exterior angles on the same side of the transversal line, e.g., ∠24 & ∠12, ∠21 & ∠13.
- Corresponding Angles: Non-adjacent interior and exterior angles on the same side of the transversal, e.g., ∠26 & ∠14, ∠24 & ∠8.
- Complementary Angles: Two angles adding up to 90°, forming a right angle, e.g., ∠22 & ∠24, ∠2 & ∠11.
- Supplementary Angles: Two angles adding up to 180°, forming a straight angle, e.g., ∠11 & ∠12, ∠1 & ∠14.
Congruent Triangles: SSS and SAS
- SSS (Side, Side, Side): If all three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
- SAS (Side, Angle, Side): If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
Congruent Triangles: ASA and AAS
- ASA (Angle, Side, Angle): If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
- AAS (Angle, Angle, Side): If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
Congruent Triangles: HL
- HL (Hypotenuse, Leg): If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are equal to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, the triangles are congruent.
Congruence of Triangles
- Two figures are congruent if they have the same size and shape.
- When triangles ∆ABC ≅ ∆XYZ, the order of the letters is important.
- This indicates that corresponding angles and sides are congruent: ∠A ≅ ∠X, ∠B ≅ ∠Y, ∠C ≅ ∠Z, AB ≅ XY, BC ≅ YZ, AC ≅ XZ.
