In Summary

Geometry is a fundamental subject that is studied in high school and is a building block for many other mathematical concepts. Students learn about the different types of geometric shapes, such as circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, and their properties, and more advanced topics, such as congruence and similarity. These concepts are used to solve problems involving geometric shapes and are crucial for understanding more advanced mathematical concepts.

One important aspect of geometry is the use of deductive reasoning, which involves making logical conclusions based on given information. Students learn how to use this method of problem-solving to prove theorems and solve geometric problems.

Specific topics learned

Angles: Angles are formed when two lines intersect at a point. An angle is measured in degrees and is used to describe the amount of rotation around a point. Individual angles are either acute, obtuse, right, straight or reflex. Pairs of angles can be congruent (same size), complementary (sum to 90 degrees), supplementary (sum to 180 degrees), or none of these. More specific relationships of pairs of angles are vertical angles, linear pair, corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, same-side interior, and many more.

Area and Perimeter: Area is a measure of the size of a two-dimensional shape and is typically expressed in square units, such as square inches or square feet. To calculate the area of a shape, students use formulas that depend on the type of shape being measured. Perimeter is a measure of the distance around the outside of a two-dimensional shape and is also typically expressed in linear units, such as inches or feet. To calculate the perimeter of a shape, students add up the lengths of all the sides of the shape.

Logic: Students learn about logic, which is the study of reasoning and argument. Logic is an important part of geometry because it is used to prove theorems and solve problems involving geometric shapes. Logic is introduced with conditional (if-then) statements and then law of syllogism and law of detachment.

Graphs of Linear Equations: Students learn how to create and interpret linear graphs.

Proofs: A large part of geometry courses is proofs. Students go through proofs with parallel lines and transversals, perpendicular lines, triangle congruence, triangle similarity, and more.

Transformations: 4 types of transformations are gone over in a geometry course. Translations, Reflections, Rotations, and dilations. Translations are movements of a figure that involve sliding the figure without rotating or flipping it. Reflections are movements of a figure that involve flipping the figure across a line. Rotations are movements of a figure that involve turning the figure around a fixed point. Dilations are changes in size of a figure using a scale factor.

Triangles: Triangles are studied in depth. Triangle Classification, Pythagorean Theorem, Triangle Angle Sum Theorem, Side-Splitter Theorem,
Triangle Midsegment Theorem, Exterior Angle Theorem, base angles theorem, special right triangles, triangle inequality theorem, hinge theorem, Circumcenter, Incenter, Centroid, and Orthocenter are just a few of the many in depth topics studied about triangles.

Quadrilaterals: Just like triangles, quadrilaterals are studied in depth as well. Properties of parallelograms, kites, trapezoids and all other quadrilaterals are gone over.

Trigonometry: Trigonometry is another detailed analysis of triangles and the relationships between their sides and angles. The three main trigonometric functions are sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan), which are defined in terms of the ratios of the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. Students also learn about the inverse trigonometric functions, which are used to solve problems involving angles in right triangles. The inverse trigonometric functions are denoted with the prefix “arc,” such as arc sine (arcsin), arc cosine (arccos), and arc tangent (arctan). In addition to these concepts, students also learn how to use trigonometry to solve real-world problems involving lengths, distances, and angles, such as finding the height of a building or the distance across a river.

Circles: Circles are also studied in depth. Central, inscribed and exterior angles in triangles are analyzed in depth. Also relationships with chords inside of circles and secant and tangent lines outside of circles.

Volume and Surface Area: Students learn about volume and surface area, which are used to measure and calculate the size of three-dimensional objects such as prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, spheres and more. Volume is a measure of the amount of space occupied by an object and is typically expressed in cubic units, such as cubic inches or cubic feet. To calculate the volume of a three-dimensional object, students use formulas that depend on the shape of the object. Surface area is a measure of the total area of the surface of a three-dimensional object and is also typically expressed in square units. To calculate the surface area of a three-dimensional object, students add up the areas of all the faces of the object.
