Study Notes

Points, Lines, and Planes

Points: A location in space, represented by a set of coordinates (x, y, z).
Lines: A set of points extending infinitely in two directions, defined by two points.
Line Segments: A part of a line with a fixed length, defined by two points.
Rays: A line with one endpoint, extending infinitely in one direction.
Planes: A flat surface with infinite length and width, defined by three points.
Intersections:
- Two lines intersect at a point.
- A line and a plane intersect at a line.
- Two planes intersect at a line.

Angles and Measurements

Angles: Formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint (vertex).
Types of Angles:
- Acute: Less than 90°.
- Right: Exactly 90°.
- Obtuse: Greater than 90° but less than 180°.
- Straight: Exactly 180°.
Measuring Angles:
- Degrees: A unit of measurement for angles.
- Minutes: A subunit of degrees, with 1° = 60 minutes.
- Seconds: A subunit of minutes, with 1 minute = 60 seconds.
Angle Relationships:
- Complementary: Two angles that add up to 90°.
- Supplementary: Two angles that add up to 180°.
- Vertical: Two angles formed by intersecting lines.

Perimeter and Area

Perimeter: The distance around a shape.
Formulas for Perimeter:
- Triangle: P = a + b + c, where a, b, and c are side lengths.
- Rectangle: P = 2l + 2w, where l is length and w is width.
- Circle: P = 2πr, where r is the radius.
Area: The amount of space inside a shape.
Formulas for Area:
- Triangle: A = (b * h) / 2, where b is base and h is height.
- Rectangle: A = l * w, where l is length and w is width.
- Circle: A = πr^2, where r is the radius.
- Parallelogram: A = b * h, where b is base and h is height.
