COMMON GEOMETRIC FIGURES:
BAC is formed by Ray
Line: a collection of points in a straight path that
AB and Ray AC
continues infinitely in two directions.
1 can be named as
It takes at least two points to create a line.
BAD or DAB
The distance between two points a and b in
the number line is:
D = A-B/, where A and B are the corresponding
values in the number line.
Ex: What is the distance between point A with
coordinate -7 from point B with coordinate 2?
Measure of an Angle: the notation mA is used
D = /-7 2/ = /-9/ = /9/
when referring to the measure of an angle and is
Line Segment: the part of a line from one endpoint to
measured in degrees. Example: if 1 measures
another.
100, then 1 = 100
If B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC
Ex: Point B lies on segment AC. AB = 10 and BC
CLASSIFYING ANGLES:
= 8; AC = 18.
1. Acute angle measures less than 900
Parallel Lines: lines that do not meet even when
2. Right Angle - measures exactly 900
extended infinitely.
3. Obtuse Angle measures more than 900 but less
Intersecting Lines: lines that meet at one and only
than 1800
one common point.
4. Straight Angle measures exactly 1800 to form a
Perpendicular Lines: intersecting lines that form four
line.
right angles.
5. Complementary Angles angles whose sum of
Collinear Points: three or more points lying in the
measures 900
same single line.
Two points are always collinear since they
always determine a single line.
Plane: a flat surface
Coplanar: geometrical shapes that lie on the same
plane are said to be coplanar.
Skew Lines: lines that are not coplanar.
Ray: half of a line. A ray has one endpoint and
continues infinitely in the opposite direction.
6. Supplementary Angles angles whose sum
ANGLES formed by two rays and an endpoint or line
measures 1800
segments that meet at a point, called the VERTEX.
Naming the angles:
a) named through the vertex as long as
other angle share the same vertex:
b) for angles with the same vertex, three
letters are used, with the vertex always
being the middle letter.
CLASSIFYING TRIANGLES:
1. Isosceles triangle triangle whose equal angles
are opposite equal sides.
Vertical angles have equal measures 3. Scalene triangle a triangle with all three sides of
Vertical angles are supplementary to adjacent different measures
angles
m1 + m2 = 180
m3 + m4 = 180
The sum of all adjacent angles around a
common vertex is always equal to 3600
PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM
Right triangle a triangle whose largest angle is
900
Hypotenuse the side opposite the right angle, also
the longest side of a right triangle. The sides other
than the hypotenuse are called the legs of the right
triangle.
a2 + b2 = c2, where a and b represent the lengths of
TRIANGLES the measure of the three angles in a the legs and c represents the hypotenuse of a right
triangle always add up to 1800 triangle.
