Geometry Review Sheet
Know terms and properties for the following:
Polygons: any closed figure with line segments
Regular Polygon: all sides and angles =.
Triangles: sum of the angles = 180
°
Classified by Sides: Classified by Angles:
Equilateral: 3 = sides, angles Acute: 3 acute angles
Isosceles: 2 = sides, angles Obtuse: 1 obtuse angle
Scalene: no = sides, angles Right: 1 right angle
Across from equal sides are equal angles and vice versa.
Quadrilaterals: 4-sided figure. Sum of the angles equals 360
°
.
Know properties of parallelograms, rhombus, rectangles, squares, and trapezoids.
Pentagons, Hexagons, Octagons, Decagons
Coordinate Plane (graphs)
Know how to graph lines (chart method)
Linear equation: straight line
Quadratic equation: curved. X is squared.
Functions: each x value has one y value and vice versa.
Direct variation: the quotient of x and y is =.
Inverse variation: the product of x and y is =.
Transformations: movements of a figure.
Reflection: flips the image over a line
Rotation: turns the image about a point.
Translation: slides the image.
Dilation: enlarges or decreases the image.
Symmetry:
Line symmetry: if folded on the line of symmetry, the figure on each side will exactly overlap.
Rotational symmetry: if a figure is rotated a certain about of degrees it looks like the original image.
Point symmetry: 180
°
rotational symmetry.
Formulas:
Sum of the interior angles of a polygon: S = (n –2)180
Sides of a right triangle: c2 = a2 + b2
Sides and angles of a right triangle: Sine, Cosine and Tangent
Area and Perimeter (add up the sides):
A = bh (Parallelogram, Rhombus, Square, Rectangle)
A = ½ bh (Triangle)
A = ½ h (b1 + b2) (Trapezoid)
A =
p
r2 (Circle)
C =
p
d (Perimeter of circle, one rotation of a circle, distance around a circle)
