Introduction to Geometry

Geometry is the study of the properties of shapes. In theoretical or formal geometry the facts are proved for general cases by a method of argument or reasoning rather than by measurement. Geometrical basic facts are called theorems. Theorems are the foundations upon which geometry is built.

Interior and Exterior Angles of a Triangle

Recall: Angles on a straight line is 180o. Thus, 

Proofs of Some Basic Theorems - Angles on a Straight Line

\(θ+50+60=180 \\ θ=180 -110 = 70^o\)

Using the diagram below;

Proof of Some Basic Theorems

1. Use the angle properties related to parallel lines to explain why;

(a) Angle TRS = angle PQR corresponding or ‘F’ angles

(b) Angle TRP = angle QPR. Alternate or ‘z’ angles

2. Explain why the sum of the three angles at R is 180o. Angles on a straight line

Theorem: The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180o

Given: any ΔABC

To prove: \(\hat{A}+\hat{B}+\hat{C}=180^o\)

Construction: Produce (\(\overline{BC}\)) to a point X.
