This document provides an overview of key concepts in plane geometry covered in Chapter 5, including points, lines, planes, angles, parallel and perpendicular lines, triangles, polygons, coordinate geometry, congruence, transformations, and tessellations. Specific topics discussed include classifying angles, properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal, the triangle sum theorem, types of triangles and polygons, finding total angle measures of polygons, and using coordinate geometry. Homework problems are provided at the end of sections for additional practice.
5-1 Points, Lines,Planes & Angles Vocabulary Point – Names a location Line – Perfectly straight and extends in both directions forever Plane - Perfectly flat surface that extends forever in all directions Segment – Part of a line between two points Ray – Part of a line that starts at a point and extends forever in one direction
Example 1 Namefour points Name the line Name the plane Name four segments Name five rays

More Vocabulary RightAngle – Measures exactly 90 ° Acute Angle – Measures less than 90 ° Obtuse Angle – Measures more than 90 ° Complementary Angle – Angles that measure 90 ° together Supplementary Angle – Angles that measure 180 ° together
Example 2 Namethe following: Right Angle Acute Angle Obtuse Angle Complementary Angle Supplementary Angle

Even MORE VocabularyCongruent – Figures that have the same size AND shape Vertical Angles Angles A & C are VA Angles B & D are VA If Angle A is 60 ° what is the measure of angle B?
5-2 Parallel andPerpendicular Lines Vocabulary Parallel Lines – Two lines in a plane that never meet, ex. Railroad Tracks Perpendicular Lines – Lines that intersect to form Right Angles Transversal – A line that intersects two or more lines at an angle other than a Right Angle
Properties of Transversalsto Parallel Lines If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal: The acute angles formed are all congruent The obtuse angles are all congruent And any acute angle is supplementary to any obtuse angle If the transversal is perpendicular to the parallel lines, all of the angles formed are congruent 90° angles
5-3 Triangles TriangleSum Theorem – The angle measures of a triangle in a plane add to 180° Because of alternate interior angles, the following is true:

Vocabulary Acute Triangle – All angles are less than 90° Right Triangle – Has one 90° angle Obtuse Triangle – Has one obtuse angle
5-4 Polygons PolygonsHave 3 or more sides Named by the number of sides “ Regular Polygon” means that all the sides are equal length n n-gon 8 Octagon 7 Heptagon 6 Hexagon 5 Pentagon 4 Quadrilateral 3 Triangle # of Sides Polygon

Finding the sumof angles in a polygon Step 1: Divide the polygon into triangles with common vertex
The Short Cut180°( n – 2) where n = the number of angles in the figure In this case n = 6 = 180°(6 – 2) = 180°(4) = 720° *Notice that n - 2 = 4 **Also notice that the figure can be broken into 4 triangles…coincidence? I don’t think so!
