Study Notes
Surface Area Concepts
- Total Surface Area: Refers to the complete area covering the exterior of a three-dimensional object, including all faces.
- Lateral Surface Area: This is the area of the surfaces around a 3D object, excluding the bases, often used in cylinders and prisms.
Transformations in Geometry
- Dilation: A geometric transformation that changes the size of a figure, either enlarging or reducing, while keeping its shape proportional.
- Translation: Moving a geometric figure from one location to another without altering its orientation or size; only the position changes.
- Reflection: Creates a mirror image of a figure across a specific line, maintaining distance and angles.
Important Mathematical Principles
- Pythagorean Theorem: A fundamental equation in geometry for right triangles, stating that the square of the hypotenuse (c) equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²).
- Product: The result obtained from multiplying two or more numbers together.
