< s at a pt (add up to 360°)

alt < s _//_ (are equal)

corr < s _//_ (are equal)

co-int < s _//_ (are supplementary)

A B C

x = 60° reason adj <s on str line

 ADJACENT SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES ARE ON A STRAIGHT LINE.

→If adjacent angles add up to 180°, then they are on a straight line

60° P MNP is a straight line

120° adj supp <s
M N

 VERTICALLY OPPOSITE ANGLES.

→When two straight lines intersect the angles opposite each other are called vertically opposite
angles.

Vertically opposite angles are equal.

 TRANSVERSALS

→If a line cuts or touches another line, it is called a transversal.

A

D e.g. AB is a transversal because it cuts CD and EF

  ANGLES AND TRANSVERSALS

Corresponding angles are in the same position as each other.

F shape

Co-interior angles are between the lines and on the same side of the transversal. They are “inside
together”.

C or U shape

Alternate angles are between the lines and on alternate (opposite) sides of the transversal.

Z or N shape

Remember the word “FUN”{ Geometry is FUN song}

 PARALLEL LINES

Parallel lines are lines that stay the same distance apart, no matter how long the lines are (they are
lines that never meet).

Arrows are used to indicate that

lines are parallel.

 PARALLEL LINES

IF LINES ARE PARALLEL THEN: REASONS:

 The corresponding angles are equal corr <s …//…

 The alternate angles are equal alt <s …//…
 The co-interior angles are supplementary co-int <s …//…

e) Sum of the angles of a Triangle

f) Exterior angle of a Triangle

 IF YOU ARE ASKED TO PROVE THAT…..

 Two lines parallel

Use the slope formula twice. (Find the slopes of the two lines.)
Determine that the slopes are equal, therefore the lines are parallel.

 Two lines perpendicular

Use the slope formula twice. (Find the slopes of the two lines.)
Determine that the slope are negative reciprocals of each other, therefore the lines are perpendicular.

 A triangle is a right angle triangle

Use the slope formula twice. (Find the slopes of the legs.)
Determine that since the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other, the lines are perpendicular,
forming a right angle. This makes the triangle a right angle.
OR
Use the distance formula three times. (Find the length of the three sides.).
Determine that the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the
squares of the length of the two adjacent legs, that is, use the Pythagorean Theorem ( ).

 A triangle is isosceles
Use the distance formula twice. (Find the length of two congruent sides.)
Determine that since the lengths of two sides are equal, the triangle is isosceles.

  A triangle is an isosceles right triangle
Use the distance formula three times. (Find right triangle the lengths of the three sides.)
Determine that since the lengths of two sides are equal and that the square of the length of the
hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the lengths of the two adjacent legs ,
the triangle is an isosceles right triangle.
OR
Use the slope formula twice and the distance formula twice. (Find the slopes and the lengths of the
two legs.)
First, prove the triangle is a right triangle (see above), and then use the distance formula to find the
lengths of the two legs of the triangle. Since the lengths of two sides are equal, the triangle is
isosceles. Thus, the triangle is an isosceles right triangle.

 CONGRUENCY OF TRIANGLES

Rule 1
Two triangles are congruent if three sides of one triangle are equal in length to the three sides of the
other triangle. (SSS)

Rule 2
Two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle are equal to two sides and the
included angle of the other triangle. (SAS)

Rules 3
Two triangles are congruent if two angles and one side are equal to two angles and one side of the
other triangle. (SAA)

 TANGENT CD

Then!!!! → ̂ 4 = ̂ (tan-chord theorem)

→ ̂ 4 = ̂ 2 (tan-chord theorem)

 PARALLEL LINES : AC || FD

Then!!!! → ̂ = ̂ 2 (alternate ’s AC || FD)

→ ̂ 1= ̂ 1 (alternate ’s AC || FD)
→ ̂ 1 = ̂ 3 (corr ’s AC || FD)

 EQUAL LINES : FE = AB

Then!!!! → ̂ 3 = ̂ 1 (subt by equal chord, AB = EF)

NB: Two equal circles with equal chords, then those chords will subtend equal angles at the
circumference as long as those 2 circles intersect each other.

 GEOMETRIC RIDERS : PROOFS

 When required to prove a geometric fact it is always good to have a thought strategy.
 The most important overriding factor to any strategies ... know your theorems.
 One useful strategy:
 If required to prove something about lines or shapes
 Ask “What if this is so?” This will usually lead on to another fact which may be easier to prove
first (as long as the converse is true!).

 STATEMENTS AND CONVERSES:

Statement: If today is Tuesday then tomorrow is Wednesday.

Converse: If tomorrow is Wednesday then today is Tuesday.

Some converses are true and some are not:

Statement: If it is not raining then there are no clouds.

Converse: If there are no clouds then it is not raining.

 HOW TO PROVE THTA LINES ARE PARALLEL.

→If the altenate angles between two lines are equal, then the lines are parallel. (reason→alt’s =)

→If the corr ’s between two lines are equal, then the lines are parallel. (corr ’s =).

→If the co-interior’s between two lines are supplementary, then the lines are parallel. (co-int ’s supp)

 WHEN YOU MUST PROVE TWO SIDES ARE EQUAL.

→In a triangle, base angles must be equal. (sides opp equal angles)

→When lines are separated, 2 opp ’s on the circumfarance must be equal. (sides opp = ’s)

 DIAMETER.

→Opp  in the circumfarance must be equal to 90˚.

 PROVE THAT LINE IS A TANGENT TO THE CIRCLE.

→Converse tan chord theorem

 TRIANGLE INFORMATION.

 ISOSCELES

→2 sides are equal

→2 angles opp = sides are equal

 EXTERIOR

→Ext  of a Δ = the sum of the 2 int opp ’s of a Δ

 EQUILATERAL

→All sides are equal

→All angles are equal

 ANGLE FORMED AT THE CIRCUMFERENCE.

→Two angles at the circumfarence equal, their chord(s) are also equal.
