**Key Concepts:**
2. **Angles:**
- Angles are formed when two rays share a common endpoint (vertex).
- Types of angles: acute, obtuse, right, straight.
3. **Triangles:**
- A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles.
- Types of triangles: equilateral, isosceles, scalene.
4. **Quadrilaterals:**
- A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides and four angles.
- Types of quadrilaterals: square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus.
5. **Circles:**
- A circle is a set of all points equidistant from a center.
- Key terms: radius, diameter, circumference, and pi (\(\pi\)).
**Geometric Formulas:**
1. **Area of a Rectangle:**
- \(A = \text{length} \times \text{width}\).
2. **Area of a Triangle:**
- \(A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}\).
3. **Area of a Circle:**
- \(A = \pi \times \text{radius}^2\).
4. **Perimeter of a Polygon:**
- Sum of the lengths of its sides.
5. **Pythagorean Theorem:**
- In a right triangle, \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\), where \(c\) is the hypotenuse.
**Transformations:**
1. **Translations (Slides):**
- Moving a shape without rotating or changing its size.
2. **Reflections (Flips):**
- Flipping a shape across a line (mirror image).
3. **Rotations (Turns):**
- Turning a shape around a fixed point (the center of rotation).
**Coordinate Geometry:**
1. **Coordinates:**
- In the Cartesian plane, points are represented as (x, y).
2. **Distance Formula:**
- \(\text{Distance} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\).
3. **Midpoint Formula:**
- \(\text{Midpoint} = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)\).
**Geometric Proofs:**
1. **Proof by Contradiction:**
- Assume the opposite of what you want to prove and show that it leads to a
contradiction.
