QUADRILATERALS: DEFINITION OF A QUADRILATERAL, PARALLELOGRAMS. The next types of geometric objects that we are going to consider are called quadrilaterals. A quadrilateral is a figure in a plane formed by connecting four segments endpoint to endpoint with each segment intersecting exactly two others. Each segment is called a side of the quadrilateral. Each endpoint where the sides meet is called a vertex of the quadrilateral. A quadrilateral is usually named after its vertices e.g. a quadr ...

PROPERTIES OF PARALLELOGRAMS, A RECTANGLE, A SQUARE AND A RHOMBUS. The following statement gives the main property of parallelograms. Theorem 11.1 If ABCD is a parallelogram then its nonconsecutive sides and its nonconsecutive angles are equal. Proof We need to prove that AB = CD, BC = AD, Let O be the point of intersection of diagonals AC and BD. Triangles BOC and DOA are equal by SAS: angles BOC and DOA are equal as vertical angles, BO = OD and AO = OC by theorem 10.1*. The ...

ANGLES AND PARALLEL LINES, TRIANGLE'S MIDSEGMENTS. In order to investigate the further properties of quadrilaterals first we have to discuss some results involving angles and parallel lines. Theorem 12.1 Consider an angle and parallel lines that intersect with the angle. If the parallel lines divide one side of the angle into equal parts then they divide the other side of the angle into equal parts as well. Proof Let's consider an angle P1BQ1 and three parallel lines m1, m2, and m3 that ...

VARIOUS TYPES OF TRIANGLES: ISOSCELES AND EQUILATERAL TRIANGLES. In this section we are going to continue our discussion of triangles. We start with the considering of various types of triangles. A triangle is called an isosceles triangle if it has two sides with equal lengths. Consider an isosceles triangle ABC with AC=CB. Then the side AB (i.e. the side that is not equal to the other sides) is called the base side. The angle opposite the base side is called the vertex angle and the res ...

ANGLES IN A TRIANGLE, RIGHT TRIANGLES AND EQUALITY OF RIGHT TRIANGLES BY HYPOTENUSE-LEG, EQUALITY OF TWO TRIANGLES BY SIDE-SIDE-SIDE. In this section we are going to finish our discussion of triangles and their properties. One of the remarkable results regarding angles in any triangle is formulated in the following theorem. Theorem 6.1 Sum of degree measures of all angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degrees. Proof Let ABC be an arbitrary triangle . We need to prove that Le ...

CIRCLES: DEFINITION OF A CIRCLE, CHORDS, TANGENT AND SECANT LINES. This section introduces the properties of the circles. We start with the definition of this geometric object. A circle is the set of all points in a plane at a fixed distance from a fixed point in the plane. The fixed point is called the center of the circle. The fixed distance is called the radius of the circle. A segment from a point of the circle to the center is also called a radius. Usually a circle is named by its center ...

CIRCLES AND ANGLES. Now we are going to discuss the possible relationships between circles and angles. We start with the following definition. An angle ABC is called an angle inscribed in a circle O if the vertex B is a point on the circle O and segments AB and AC are chords of O. An angle OAC is called a central angle of a circle O if A and C are both points on the circle O. Theorem 8.1 Suppose that O is a circle and an angle ABC is an angle inscribed in O. Then Proof We n ...
