plane and has length, but no width.

letter just like Points. The line on the left

is Line B.

A line that has a square on it, means


that the lines are perpendicular and
that the angle was created is 90
degrees. It can be drawn at any length, but remember it will go on forever.

Lines of lines in real life?

Yes, it is, because a


railroad is straight path
that travels in a direction
almost indefinitely.

More Info!
Lines can also intersect and have
slopes that determine their path on a
coordinate plane. Lines can be parallel
or perpendicular if they have the same
slope or a negative reciprocal of the
slope. You can find a path of a line’s
direction by using the formula y=mx+b.
B is the y-intercept, (where the line
touches the y-axis), m = slope, and x
and y is a specific point.

There are 3 different types of angles, which


are acute, right, and obtuse. The acute
angle is less than 90 degrees, and the
obtuse angle is more than 180 degrees.

Parallel Lines in real life.

These are lines that never meet have the same


slope but different y-intercept. (If they had the
same y-intercept it would be the same line.)

Triangles
A triangle is a 3-sided
shape/polygon that has an area,
perimeter and angles. A triangle has
angles that add up to 180, and the
area of a triangle is Base x Height /
2. There are different types of
triangles such as equilateral,
isosceles, scalene, and right
triangles. (They can also be named
just like lines and points, but require
a letter for every corner. Example: Some visual examples of

Examples of the similar triangles
Similarity
Similarity usually has to do with
triangles. You can tell if a triangle is
similar to another triangle based on its
angle and sides. You need at least
two-three angles/sides in order to
make a similarity statement.

The similarity statements are AA, SAS,


SSS, ASA, AAS. In order to identify a Real life example of similarity is a building with its shadow.
specific similarity statement, you would
see where the side/angle is located.
For example, if there are two congruent
sides on both triangles, and both have
a congruent angle in the middle, then
the similarity statement would be SAS.
What similarity statement
Similarity applies to the pair of
triangles?

Answer: These
triangles are similar
by SSS, because
they have 3 equal
sides, as

length of each side, and add it up.


This applies to every shape, even the
circle (The circle’s perimeter is called
a circumference instead)

Is this a real life example of a


perimeter in geometry?

Yes, because you would need to know the


length of each side of the fence, in order
to put a fence around your garden.
Quadrilaterals
Which shape is a quadrilateral? These are shapes with only four sides,
such as squares, rectangles,
parallelograms, rhombuses, trapezoids,
etc. You can identify one by counting the
number of sides or vertices and seeing if
they add up to four.
Real life example of a quadrilateral from
geometry is a book.

It has four sides,


and four vertices.
Answer: The square, rectangle,
and rhombus.
A real life example of a transformation from geometry is a
Transformations clock or watch rotating the hand of clock/watch as time
passes.
A transformation is when you manipulate a certain shape
to be in the same position and/or size as the other similar
shape. Some of the transformations you can do are
translation, rotation, reflection, and dilation. For the
translation, you can move up the figure up or down the y-
axis, and left ot right o the x-axis. For rotation, you can turn
the shape 180 degrees, 90 degrees clockwise or
counterclockwise. For dilation, you can multiply the figure
by number greater or less than 1 to get a different size, you What type of transformation is this?
can do this by multiplying each point by that number.

the y-points change and become negative or positive, and
Ans
vice versa is true for the y-axis.
Key

This is a reflection across the y-axis because it’s being


reflected across a line and the x-coordinates of each point
are being changed.
Circles Find the area and
perimeter of the circle.
A circle is a closed two-dimensional figure where (In terms of pi.)
every point on the circumference (line) of the
circle is equidistant from the middle of the circle.
Hint: Area = r^2π
The perimeter of a circle is also known as the Perimeter = 2πr
circumference. Both the area and the r=3
circumference use pi since the length of the circle
is around 3.14.
