1. Perpendicular Bisectors and Angle Bisectors

  • Use of compass: center, radius, pin leg, and drawing leg
  • To draw a circle
  • To mark off or copy a line segment
  • How to draw a perpendicular bisector of a line segment?
  • Any point on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment is equidistant from the two  end points of the segment.

2. Angle Bisectors

  • A ray AZ divides <BAC into two equal angles, <BAZ and <CAZ. The ray is called the angle bisector of <ABC
  • How to draw an angle bisector?
  • Any point on the angle bisector of an angle is equidistant from the two sides of the angle.

3. Class work

  • Construct/draw circles, triangles, angles, equal line segments
  • construct /draw perpendicular bisectors of line segments
  • construct/draw angle bisectors of angles

4. Classification of Triangles

  • The number of equal sides in the triangle: scalene triangle – no equal sides; isosceles triangle – two equal sides; equilateral triangles – three equal sides
  • The type of angles of the triangle: acute-angled triangle – all angles are acute; right-angled triangle – one of the angles is a right angle; obtuse-angled triangle – one of the angles is an obtuse angle
  • Is an equilateral triangle also an isosceles triangle?
  • Is it Possible to draw a triangle with more than one obtuse angle?
  • Can a scalene triangle be an acute-angled, right-angled or obtuse-angled triangle?
  • All the three angles in a scalene triangle are different size
  • The angles opposite the equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal
  • All the three angles in an equilateral triangle are equal in size

5. Quadrilaterals

  • A closed plane figure with four straight sides joined by four vertices is called a quadrilateral
  • Vertices, diagonals
  • Properties of special quadrilaterals
  • Parallelogram: 2 pairs of parallel and equal opposite sides
  • Rectangle: all angles are right angles
  • Rhombus: all sides are equal, diagonals are perpendicular to each other
  • Square: all sides are equal, all angles are right angles
  • Trapezoid: 1 pair of parallel sides

Chapter 8. Angles, triangles and quadrilaterials

1. Points, Line and Planes

  • Point: has position; has no size
  • Line: has an infinite number of points; has no width; can be determined by two points; can be straight or curved
  • Ray: a part of a line with one endpoint
  • Endpoint
  • Line segment: a part of a line between two end points; has length
  • Plane: a flat surface; has no thickness
  • Parallel lines: two lines on the same plane do not intersect (meet or cut)
  • Perpendicular (lines) to each other: two lines intersect at right angle
  • Foot of the perpendicular

2. Types of angles

  • Acute angle: angle < 90 degree
  • Right angle: angle = 90 degree
  • Obtuse angle: 90 degree < angle < 180 degree
  • Reflex angle: 180 degree < angle < 360 degree

3. Complementary, supplementary, and adjacent angles

  • Complementary angles: the sum of two angles is 90 degree
  • Supplementary angles: the sum of two angels is 180 degree
  • Adjacent angles: two angles share a common side and a common vertex but do not overlap

4. Properties of Angles

  • The sum of adjacent angles on a straight line is 180 degree
  • The sum of all angles at a point is 360 degree
  • Vertically opposite angles: when two lines intersect, the vertically opposite angles are equal
