What are the properties of parallel lines? What are the basic properties of triangles? What are the basic properties of regular polygons?

How do we use and apply similarity and Pythagoras theorem in two dimensions? How do we explore ratios of areas of similar figures? How do we explore ratios of volumes of similar solids?

Properties of parallel lines: a review

Angles 4 and 6 are called alternate angles. l3 Angles 5 and 3 are called alternate angles. Angles 2 and 6 are called corresponding angles. 1 2 l1 4 3 Angles 1 and 5 are called corresponding angles. l2 Angles 4 and 8 are called corresponding angles. 56 Angles 3 and 7 are called corresponding angles. 8 7 Angles 3 and 6 are called cointerior angles. Lines l1 and l2 are cut by a transversal l3 . Angles 4 and 5 are called cointerior angles. Angles 1 and 3 are called vertically opposite angles and are of equal magnitude. Other pairs of vertically opposite angles are 2 and 4, 5 and 7, and 6 and 8. Angles 1 and 2 are supplementary; i.e. their magnitudes add to 180 . l3 When lines l1 and l2 are parallel, corresponding angles are of equal magnitude, alternate angles are of equal 1 2 magnitude and cointerior angles are supplementary. 4 3 l1 Converse results also hold: If corresponding angles are equal, then 5 6 l1 is parallel to l2 . 8 7 l2 If alternate angles are equal, then l1 is parallel to l2 . If cointerior angles are supplementary, then l1 is parallel to l2 .

The angle sum of the interior angles of an n-sided convex polygon is given by the formula: S = [180(n 2)] = (180n 360) The result holds for any convex polygon. Convex means that a line you draw from any vertex to another vertex lies inside the polygon. The magnitude of each of the interior angles of an n-sided polygon is given by: x= (180n 360) n
