Study Notes
Quadrilateral Properties
-
Parallelogram: Opposite sides are congruent and parallel; opposite angles are congruent; consecutive angles are supplementary; diagonals bisect each other. Angle bisectors do not necessarily bisect opposite angles.
-
Rectangle: All properties of a parallelogram; all angles are right angles; diagonals are congruent. Angle bisectors meet at the center but do not necessarily bisect opposite angles.
-
Rhombus: All sides are congruent; diagonals are perpendicular and bisect opposite angles. Angle bisectors are the diagonals themselves.
-
Square: All properties of a rectangle and rhombus; diagonals are congruent, perpendicular, and bisect opposite angles. Angle bisectors are the diagonals.
-
Trapezoid: One pair of parallel sides. An isosceles trapezoid has congruent non-parallel sides, congruent base angles, and congruent diagonals.
-
Kite: Two pairs of adjacent congruent sides; one pair of opposite angles is congruent; diagonals are perpendicular, and one bisects the other.
Triangle Types and Concepts
-
Triangles by Sides:
- Scalene: All sides and angles are different.
- Isosceles: Two sides are congruent; base angles are congruent.
- Equilateral: All sides and angles are congruent; each angle measures 60°.
-
Triangles by Angles:
- Acute: All angles are less than 90°.
- Right: One angle is exactly 90°.
- Obtuse: One angle is greater than 90°.
-
Triangle Proofs:
- SSS: All three sides are congruent.
- SAS: Two sides and the included angle are congruent.
- ASA: Two angles and the included side are congruent.
- AAS: Two angles and a non-included side are congruent.
- HL: For right triangles (Hypotenuse-Leg).
-
Special Segments in Triangles:
- Angle Bisector: Divides an angle into two equal parts.
- Median: Connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
- Altitude: Perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side.
- Perpendicular Bisector: Bisects a side at a 90° angle.
-
Important Triangle Theorems:
- Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² (for right triangles).
- Exterior Angle Theorem: An exterior angle equals the sum of the two non-adjacent interior angles.
- Triangle Inequality Theorem: The sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side.
Angles and Angle Relationships
- Vertical Angles: Congruent angles formed by intersecting lines.
- Complementary Angles: Sum to 90°.
- Supplementary Angles: Sum to 180°.
- Adjacent Angles: Share a common side and vertex.
- Linear Pair: Adjacent and supplementary angles.
Transformations
- Translation: A rigid transformation that slides a figure.
-
Reflection: A rigid transformation that flips a figure over a line.
- Over the x-axis: (x, y) → (x, -y)
- Over the y-axis: (x, y) → (-x, y)
- Rotation: A rigid transformation that turns a figure around a point.
- Dilation: A transformation that changes the size of a figure by a scale factor.
