intersect at a single point.)

Adjacent Angles

Collinear – “X is a point on AB produced”

Bisect
- Properties of Angles at a Point

Complimentary (add to 90°) – right angles

Supplementary (add to 180°) – straight angles

Revolution (add to 360°)

Vertically Opposite Angles – proof
Lesson 2 Parallel Lines
- Definitions: parallel lines are coplanar (on the same plane) that never meet no matter
how far they are extended; lines that are not parallel are skew; transversal is any line
that crosses a pair of lines
- Eclid’s parallel postulate (~300BC)– “if a line segment intersects two straight lines
forming two interior angles on the same side that sum to less than two right angles,
then the two lines if extended indefinitely, meet on that side on which the angles sum
to less than two right angles”
- Properties of parallel lines

Alternate angles in parallel lines are equal (Proof)

Corresponding angles in parallel lines are equal (Proof)

Co-interior angles in parallel lines are supplementary (Parallel
Postulate) - Axiom

Corollary: If a pair of corresponding angles are equal or if a pair of
alternate angles are equal then the two lines are parallel

Lines that are parallel to the same straight line are also parallel to each
other
Lesson 3 Triangles
- Angle Sum of a Triangle (Proof)
- Exterior Angle of a Triangle (proof)
- Types of Triangles

Equilateral Triangles (including angle size)

Isosceles Triangles (two angles same – why? – congruence of triangles
will prove later)

Scalene Triangle

Right Angled Triangle

Obtuse Angled Triangle

Acute Angled Triangle
- Investigation of Angles in Polygons
Lesson 4 Angles in Polygons
- Specific case – angle sum of quadrilateral (360 °)
- General Case n sided polygon (2n-4) right angles – can be proved by induction but
pattern is obvious – derive in table form (e.g of Theorem)
 - Corollary: Exterior Angles of a Polygon by producing the sides in the same direction
add to 360° - prove
Lesson 5 Congruent Triangles
- Definition of Congruence ≡
- Congruent Triangles Tests for

SSS (Side, Side, Side) – make point that equal angular are not
necessarily congruent

SAS (Side, Angle, Side)

AAS (Angle, Angle, Side)

RHS (Right Angle, Hypotenuse, Side) – why? (special case SSS with
Pythagoras)

Right Angled
- Proofs
Lesson 8 Review of Assignment 2
Lesson 9 Similar Triangles
- Definition: Two triangles are similar if they have two angles the same
△ ABC ∼△ DEF or △ ABC ||| △ DEF .
- Corollary: If two triangles have all three pairs of corresponding sides in proportion
then they are similar
- Corollary: If two triangles have one angle equal to an angle of the other and the sides
about these angles proportional then the triangles are similar.
- Tests for Similarity

Angles are all equal

The corresponding sides are proportional

Two pairs of corresponding sides are proportional and their sides are
similar
Lesson 10 Pythagoras Theorem
- Pythagoras Theorem “The square on the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is equal
to the sum of the squares on the other two sides” – Proof
- Converse of Pythagoras Theorem “If the square on a side of a triangle is equal to the
sum of the squares on the other two sides, the angle contained by these sides must be a
right angle”
Lesson 11 Special Quadrilaterals
- Properties of Parallelograms (proof first 3 – 2 similar triangles)

Opposite sides are equal

Opposite Angles are equal

Each diagonal bisects a parallelogram into two congruent triangles

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other
Lesson 12 Assignment 3/Catchup Lesson
Lesson 13 Properties of Square/Rectangle/Rhombus/Trapezium
- Properties of Square (derived as homework)

Diagonals are equal

Diagonals meet at right angles

Diagonals make angles of 45° with the sides – i.e. diagonals are
bisectors of the angles of the square
- Properties of a Rhombus

Diagonals bisect each other at right angles

Diagonals bisect the angles through which they pass
- Rectangle Diagonals

In any rectangle the diagonals are equal
Lesson 14 Tests for Parallelograms
- Properties of Parallelograms (prove 1st only in class – others as handout/vodcast)

Both pairs of opposite sides are equal, or

Both pairs of opposite angles are equal, or

One pair of sides is both equal and parallel, or

The diagonals bisect each other.
- Properties of a rhombus – a quadrilateral is a rhombus if either of the following is true
(proof as part of exercise):

all diagonals are equal, or

the diagonals bisect each other at right angles
Lesson 15 Transversals & Parallel Lines
- If three parallel lines cut off equal intercepts on one transversal then they cut of equal
intercepts on any other transversal
Lesson 16 Ratio Property for Intercepts
- A family of parallel lines will cut all transversals in the same ratio

AC BD
So in the diagram =
CE DF
- Consequences of the ratio property

If a line is drawn parallel to the base of a triangle then it cuts the other
sides in the same ratio
