Topics in Geometry

1. Types of Angles and Linear Pair

  • Complementary angles sum to 90° (e.g., 30° + 60° = 90°)
  • Supplementary angles sum to 180° (e.g., 110° + 70° = 180°)
  • Adjacent angles share a common vertex and common arm
2

2. Transversals and Parallel Lines

  • A transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines at distinct points
  • When a transversal intersects two lines, it creates 8 angles (4 at each intersection point)
  • Corresponding angles are in the same relative position at each intersection (equal when lines are parallel)
3

3. Triangles and Angle Sum Property

  • Sum of all angles in any triangle = 180°
  • The sum is true for ALL triangles: acute, obtuse, right, equilateral, isosceles
  • Exterior angle of a triangle = sum of two non-adjacent interior angles
4

4. Congruent Triangles

  • Two triangles are congruent if they're identical in shape and size - corresponding sides and angles are equal
  • SSS (Side-Side-Side): All three sides of one triangle equal corresponding sides of other - triangles are congruent
  • SAS (Side-Angle-Side): Two sides and included angle equal - triangles are congruent
