📐 Geometry
Angles, triangles, circles, and proof: how shapes reveal hidden truths.
What you’ll learn
- Identify basic geometric objects and reason about angle relationships.Points, lines, and planes are geometry's building blocks. Angles are measured in degrees, and pairs like complementary, supplementary, vertical, and transversal angles let you find unknowns by logic.
- Use the triangle angle sum, Pythagorean theorem, and congruence or similarity.Triangle angles always total 180 degrees. The Pythagorean theorem relates the sides of right triangles, special right triangles have fixed ratios, and congruence versus similarity distinguishes same size from same shape.
- Compute perimeter, area, circumference, and volume, and appreciate proof.Perimeter and area measure flat shapes, pi links every circle, and surface area and volume extend measurement into three dimensions. Formal proof teaches rigorous, trustworthy reasoning.
Questions this course answers
Two angles that add to 90 degrees are called:
Complementary angles sum to 90 degrees; supplementary angles sum to 180.
When two lines cross, the angles opposite each other are:
Vertical angles are formed by intersecting lines and are always equal.
Alternate interior angles formed by a transversal on parallel lines are:
On parallel lines, alternate interior angles are congruent.
The interior angles of any triangle sum to:
Every triangle's three interior angles add to exactly 180 degrees.
A right triangle has legs 3 and 4. Its hypotenuse is:
By a^2 + b^2 = c^2, 9 + 16 = 25, and the square root of 25 is 5.
Figures with the same shape but different sizes are:
Similar figures have equal angles and proportional sides but may differ in size.
