Curves
The basic undefined term curve is used for
describing figures in the plane.

Simple Curve; Closed Curve
A simple curve can be drawn without
lifting the pencil from the paper, and
without passing through any point twice.
A closed curve has its starting and
ending points the same, and is also drawn
without lifting the pencil from the paper.

Convex
A figure is said to be convex if, for any two
points A and B inside the figure, the line
segment AB is always completely inside the
figure.

Polygons
A polygon is a simple, closed curve made up
of only straight line segments. The line
segments are called sides, and the points at
which the sides meet are called vertices.
Polygons with all sides equal and all angles
equal are regular polygons.

Types of Quadrilaterals
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with
one pair of parallel sides.
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral
with two pairs of parallel sides.
A rectangle is a parallelogram with a
right angle.

Types of Quadrilaterals
A square is a rectangle with all sides
having equal length.
A rhombus is a parallelogram with
all sides having equal length.

Angle Sum of a Triangle
The sum of the measures of the angles of any
triangle is 180°.

Example: Finding Angle Measures in
a Triangle
Find the measure of each angle in the triangle below.
x°
Solution
(x+20)°
(220 – 3x)°
x + x + 20 + 220 – 3x = 180
–x + 240 = 180
x = 60
Evaluating each expression we find that the
angles are 60°, 80° and 40°.

Exterior Angle Measure
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle
is equal to the sum of the measures of the two
opposite interior angles.

Example: Finding Angle Measures in
a Triangle
Find the measure of the exterior indicated below.
(x+20)°
(3x – 40)°
Solution
x°
x + x + 20 = 3x – 40
2x + 20 = 3x – 40
x = 60
Evaluating the expression we find that the
exterior angle is 3(60) – 40 =140°.

Circle
A circle is a set of points in a plane, each
of which is the same distance from a fixed
point (called the center).

Circle
A segment with an endpoint at the center and an
endpoint on the circle is called a radius (plural: radii).
A segment with endpoints on the circle is called a
chord.
A segment passing through the center, with endpoints
on the circle, is called a diameter. A diameter divides
a circle into two equal semicircles.
A line that touches a circle in only one point is called a
tangent to the circle. A line that intersects a circle in
two points is called a secant line.

Inscribed Angle
Any angle inscribed in a semicircle must
be a right angle.
To be inscribed in a semicircle, the vertex of the
angle must be on the circle with the sides of the
angle going through the endpoints of the diameter at
the base of the semicircle.
