[pic]

Angles in Triangles:

• The sum of all of the angles in a triangle add up to 180˚

• The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the non-adjacent interior angles

• The side opposite the largest angle of a triangle is the longest side.

• The side opposite the smallest angle of a triangle is the smallest side.

• When two sides of a triangle are congruent, the angles opposite them are also congruent.

Triangle Inequality Theorem:

The sum of the two shortest sides of a triangle are greater than the third side.

Proving Triangles Congruent:

There are five ways to prove triangles congruent

***You cannot prove triangles congruent using SSA***

Proving Triangles Similar:

Two triangles are similar if any one of the following is true:

• Corresponding sides are in proportion

• The lengths of two pairs of sides are in proportion and their included angles are congruent

Angles of a Polygon:

In a Polygon with n sides:

• Sum of the exterior angles = 360˚

• Sum of the interior angles = 180(n-2)

In a Regular Polygon with n sides:

• Each exterior angle = 360/n

• Each interior angle = 180(n-2)/n

[pic]

Midsegment Theorems:

Midsegment of a Triangle:

• Parallel to the base

• Half the length of the base of triangle

• The perimeter of a triangle formed by the midsegments, is one half the perimeter of the larger triangle.

Midsegment of a Trapezoid:

• Parallel to the two bases of a trapezoid

• One half the length of the sum of the bases

Centroid Relationships:

**Remember: The centroid is the intersection of the three medians of a triangle***

B

F P D

A E C

• AD, CF, and BE are all medians of the triangle.

• They are concurrent at point P

• The three medians divide the triangle into six regions of equal area

• Known as the “center of gravity” of a triangle

Also the centroid divides the medians into two segments in the ratio [pic], such that

[pic] and [pic] and [pic]

(remember: the top of the ratio are the parts of the median from the

vertices to the centroid or the longer segment is near the vertex)

The centroid is exactly two-thirds the way along each median

[pic]

[pic](AD) = AP

Notice that AP, BP, and CP are the parts

[pic](BE) = BP of the medians drawn from the vertex

to the centroid

[pic](CF) = CP

The centroid is located one-third of the perpendicular distance between each side and the opposing point

[pic]

[pic](AD) = PD

[pic](BE) = PE

[pic](CF) = PF

Area Formulas:

• Triangle: A = ½bh

• Parallelogram: A = bh

• Rectangle: A = lw

• Rhombus: A = ½ d1d2 (d = diagonal)

• Square: A = s2 or A = ½ d2

• Trapezoid: A = ½ h(b1 + b2)

Surface Area Formulas:

• Cube: S.A. = 6e2

• Rectangular Prism: S.A. = 2(lw + lh + hw)

• Any prism: S.A. = Lateral Area + Area of two ends

• Sphere: S.A. = 2πr2

• Cylinder: S.A. = 2πr2 + 2πrh

***Tip: Make sure to keep your units straight. Surface area should always be in square units***

Lateral Area Formulas:

• Prism: L.A. = (base perimeter)h

• Pyramid: L.A. = ½ (base perimeter)(slant height)

• Cylinder: L.A. = 2πrh

• Cone: L.A. = πr(slant height)

• Sphere: L.A. = 4πr2

Volume Formulas:

• Pyramid: V = 1/3 (area of base)h

• Cylinder: V = πr2h

• Cone: V = 1/3 πr2h

• Sphere: V = 4/3 πr3

General Equations:

• Slope-intercept equation of a line: y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-int

o Use this equation when graphing a line

o To graph: start at the y-intercept and then either go up down depending on the slope

o Positive Slope: Up and to the right

o Negative Slope: Down and to the right

• Point-slope equation of a line: y – y1 = m(x – x1), where (x1,y1) is a point and m is slope

o Use this equation when you are asked to find the slope of a line and given a point and a slope.

o To graph: must then put this equation into slope-intercept form

• Circle with center (h,k) and radius r: (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2

o Use this equation when graphing a circle.

o First graph the center, and then count up for the radius, count to the left, count down, and count to the right. Sketch in a circle graph connecting all four of those points. (try the best you can to make a good circle! ()

Circle Relationships:

Arcs and Angles:

• Central Angle: An angle formed by two radii of a circle. This angle comes from the center of the circle. Here, the angle is equal to the intercepted arc.

• Inscribed Angle: An angle that is formed by two chords and is on the circle. Here, the angle is equal to one-half the intercepted arc.

• Tangent/Chord Angle: An angle that is formed by a tangent and a chord. This angle is on the circle. Here, the angle is equal t one-half the intercepted arc.

• Angle Inside the Circle: This angle is formed by two chords. It makes a weird “plus” inside the circle. Here, you add together the two intercepted arcs and then divide by two to get the angle. (hint: look in front of the angle and then look behind the angle to get the two arcs).

• Angle Outside the Circle: This angle is either formed by two tangents, a tangent and a secant, or two secants. To find the angle, big arc – small arc and then divide by two.

***Hint: If you are given an angle and asked to find an arc – first look at where the vertex of the angle is in relation to the circle. Then, write out the formula. Solve for the arc that way.***

***You can never combine angles and arcs. So do not do it in these problems!!!***

Big Circle Hints:

• A big circle is like a puzzle that you are trying to solve.

• First, try to find out all of the arcs, then use that information to figure out the angles.

• If possible, fill in as much as you can on the big circle before you look at what the question is asking you. You might surprise yourself and answer the questions without even knowing it!!!

Tangent/Secant/Chord Segments:

• Chords and Circles

o In a circle a radius (or a diameter) that is perpendicular to a chord bisects the chord

o In a circle, if two chords are congruent then their intercepted angles are also congruent.

o In a circle, if two chords are parallel, then the arcs in between them are congruent

o Two Intersecting Chords in a Circle:

▪ (segment piece) x (segment piece)=(segment piece) x (segment piece)

Example: CE x ED = AE x EB

• Tangent and a Secant:

o (tangent)2 = (whole)(outside)

Example: PA2 = (PB)(PC)

• Two Intersecting Secants:

o (whole)(outside) = (whole)(outside)

Example: (PB)(PA) = (PD)(PC)

• Two Tangents that meet at the same external point:

o tangent = tangent

Example: (PA) = (PC)

Transformations:

• Isometry: A transformation that preserves length

• Direct Isometry: Is a transformation that preserves length as well as preserving orientation

• Orientation: The arrangement of points, relative to one another after a transformation has occurred.

• Glide Reflection: A composition transformation where a translation and a reflection occurs. It does not matter what order it occurs in.

Composition Transformation:

When two or more transformations are combined to form a new transformation, the result is called a composition of transformations. In a composition, the first transformation produces an image upon which the second transformation is then performed.

The symbol for composition is an open circle.

The notation rx-axis ◦ T3,4 is read as a reflection in the x-axis FOLLOWING a translation of (x+3,y+4). Basically, this process is done in REVERSE. So whenever you see a composition of a transformation, you work BACKWARDS!!!

Triangle Proofs:

• Always first mark up your diagram to show what segments and angles are congruent

• First list the information that is given to you first

• Then, see what you can get from that given information

• Next, look at your diagram and see if there is anything in the picture to use to prove that sides or angles are congruent. Look for:

o Reflexive Property: In the reflexive property, the triangles share something – either a side or an angle.

o Vertical Angles: Angles that “look” at each other. Vertical angles are always congruent

• Once you are done, use one of the 5-ways to prove triangles congruent (see earlier in the packet)

• If you are asked to prove segments congruent or angles congruent, look at the diagram and see which two triangles you first want to prove congruent

o C.P.C.T.C = Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent

Logic:

• Inverse: Negate both statements in the conditional

• Converse: Switch the statements in the conditional

• Contrapositive: Switch and negate the statements in the conditional. The contrapositive is logically equivalent to the conditional.

Please Note: This packet just acts as a guide for what to study. Please review any other final packets that I give you. (Especially the one on constructions). In addition, you will still need to go over your Final Review Packet and your Green Book. Again, if you have any questions throughout the course of your studying, please feel free to e-mail me.

Good luck on your final and your Regents Exam!!! (

It’s been a fun year!!!
