Geometry
Geometry ? a Greek term meaning ?measure of the earth? Geometry is concerned with questions of size, shape, and relative positions of figures. The ancient Greek mathematician Euclid applied rigorous logic to the properties of Geometry and created an axiomatic system. Axiom ? self-evident truth that provides a starting point for deductive reasoning; sometimes called a ?postulate? Euclid was so influential that his textbook Elements was taught for over two millennia. What we study is called ?Euclidean Geometry.? There is also non-Euclidean Geometry, which is beyond the scope of this course.

Geometry Notes ~Reflectional Symmetry -When a shape is folded in half and both sides match perfectly. ~Line of Symmetry -line where you can fold it ~Perimeter -the distance around its exterior on a flat surface. ~Area -the number of square units needed to fill up a region on a flat surface. ~Acute Angle -Any angle with a measure between 0 degrees and 90 degrees ~Right Angle -Any angle that measures 90 degrees ~Obtuse Angle -Any angle with a measure between 90 degrees and 180 degrees ~Straight Angle -Angle that has a measure of 180 degrees and are formed when the sides of an angle form a straight line. ~Transformation 1) Translation: A transformation that?s shape and size stays the same while sliding it to a new location.
