Planar Geometry: Points and Lines
- Point: An exact location in space, no size or dimension.
- Line: Extends infinitely in both directions, has length but no thickness.
Line Segments and Rays
- Line Segment: Part of a line with two endpoints.
- Ray: Has one endpoint, extends infinitely in one direction.
Measuring Angles
- Angle: Formed by two rays meeting at a vertex.
- Measured in degrees (°) with a protractor.
Types of Angles
- Acute: Less than 90°
- Right: Exactly 90°
- Obtuse: More than 90° but less than 180°
- Straight: 180°
- Reflex: More than 180° but less than 360°
Triangles
- Types by sides: Equilateral (all equal), Isosceles (two equal), Scalene (none equal).
- Types by angles: Acute (all <90°), Right (one 90°), Obtuse (one >90°).
- Sum of angles: 180°
Quadrilaterals
- Has 4 sides.
- Examples: Square, Rectangle, Parallelogram, Rhombus, Trapezoid.
- Sum of angles: 360°
Polygons
- Closed figures with 3 or more straight sides.
- Regular: all sides and angles equal.
- Sum of angles: (n-2)×180° (n = number of sides)
Circles
- Set of points equidistant from a center.
- Parts: radius, diameter, chord, arc, sector, tangent.
- Area: πr². Circumference: 2πr.
Solid Figures
- 3D shapes: Cube, Cuboid, Sphere, Cylinder, Cone, Pyramid, Prism.
- Have volume and surface area.
Surface Area
- Sum of areas of all faces of a 3D object.
- Cube: 6a², Sphere: 4πr², Cylinder: 2πr(h+r).
Graphing Figures
- Placing points and shapes on coordinate plane (x, y).
- Distance between two points: √[(x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²]
Explained Concepts
- Parallel Lines: Never meet, always same distance apart.
- Perpendicular Lines: Meet at 90° angle.
- Congruent Figures: Same size and shape.
- Similar Figures: Same shape, different size (proportional sides, equal angles).
- Transversal: A line that crosses two or more lines, forming angles.
- Diagonal: A line joining non-adjacent vertices of a polygon.
Examples
- Sum of angles in a hexagon: (6-2)×180° = 720°
- Area of triangle (base=6, height=9): ½×6×9 = 27
- Area of circle (radius=4): π×4² = 16π ≈ 50.27
- Distance between (1,2) and (4,6): √[(4-1)² + (6-2)²] = √(9+16) = 5
- Volume of cube (side=3): 3³ = 27
- Surface area of cylinder (r=2, h=5): 2π×2×(2+5) = 28π ≈ 87.96
- Identify the diameter in a circle diagram: Line through center, touching both points on circle.
- What is a sector: Region bounded by two radii and an arc.
- Area of rectangle (l=8, w=3): 8×3 = 24
- Diagonals in a pentagon: 5×2/2 = 5
