Study Notes
Angles in Geometry
- Acute Angle: Measures less than 90 degrees.
- Obtuse Angle: Measures greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
- Straight Angle: Measures exactly 180 degrees.
Tools for Measuring Angles
- Protractor: Essential tool for measuring or creating angles with precision.
Transformations in Geometry
- Slide (Translation): Moving a shape smoothly across a surface without rotation or flipping.
- Flip (Reflection): Turning a shape over to face the opposite direction.
- Turn (Rotation): Rotating a shape around a fixed point on a plane.
Classification of Shapes
- Similar Shapes: Identical shape with proportional size differences.
- Congruent Shapes: Exact same shape and size without any alteration.
Types of Triangles by Side Length
- Equilateral Triangle: All three sides are of equal length.
- Scalene Triangle: All three sides have different lengths.
- Isosceles Triangle: Two sides are equal in length; may also be equilateral if all sides are equal.
Types of Triangles by Angle
- Right Triangle: Contains one right angle (90 degrees).
- Obtuse Triangle: Contains one obtuse angle (greater than 90 degrees).
- Acute Triangle: All three angles are acute (less than 90 degrees).
Circle Measurements
- Circumference: Total distance around the circle's boundary.
- Chord: Line segment connecting two points on a circle's circumference.
- Diameter: Line segment passing through the center from one edge of the circle to the other.
- Radius: Distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circumference.
Coordinate Geometry
- Origin: The intersection point of the x and y axes on the coordinate plane, represented as (0,0).
