Study Notes

Definitions and Concepts

  • Area: Represents the total number of square units needed to cover a given surface.
  • Blueprint: A detailed plan that outlines the design or structure of an object or space.

Coordinate Geometry

  • Coordinates: Ordered pairs (x, y) that pinpoint locations on a coordinate plane.
  • Distance: Measures the length of the straight path between any two points in a plane.
  • Distance Formula: The mathematical expression ( d = \sqrt{(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²} ) calculates distance based on coordinates.

Line Segments and Relationships

  • Intersection: The specific point where two lines meet or cross.
  • Line Segment: A portion of a line defined by two distinct endpoints.
  • Midpoint: The exact point that divides a line segment into two equal parts.

Lines and Angles

  • Parallel Lines: Lines located in the same plane that will never cross each other.
  • Perimeter: The total length around a geometric figure.
  • Perpendicular Lines: Lines that cross each other and create right angles.

Mathematical Concepts

  • Phenomena: Observable occurrences or facts within the field of study.
  • Proof: A structured logical argument that confirms the validity of a statement or theorem.
  • Reciprocal: The inverse of a fraction, which when multiplied by the original yields a product of one.

Slope and Theorems

  • Slope: Calculated as "rise over run," indicating the steepness and direction of a line on a graph.
  • Theorem: A statement that has been established to be true through logical reasoning and evidence.
  • Vertices: Points where two sides of a polygon or three edges of a space figure converge.
