Recurso de Aprendizaje Green Bridge Para Triangles And Polygons

Resumen

Welcome to the Plane Geometry course material focusing on the fascinating and fundamental topic of Triangles and Polygons. In this comprehensive overview, we will delve into the intricate properties and relationships within triangles and polygons, aiming to understand their nature, angles, sides, and areas.

One of the primary objectives of this topic is to help you comprehend the properties of triangles and polygons. Triangles, which are three-sided polygons, hold various essential characteristics that distinguish them from other shapes. Understanding the angle sum properties of polygons will enable you to calculate the interior angles of different polygons efficiently.

As we explore triangles, it is crucial to distinguish between the different types such as scalene, isosceles, and equilateral triangles based on their sides and angles. Moreover, identifying congruent triangles, which are triangles that have the same size and shape, plays a key role in geometry and problem-solving.

Special triangles, including isosceles, equilateral, and right-angled triangles, exhibit unique properties that simplify calculations and proofs. For instance, the Pythagorean theorem is a famous result specific to right-angled triangles that relates the lengths of the sides.

Furthermore, we will delve into the properties of special quadrilaterals like parallelograms, rhombuses, squares, rectangles, and trapeziums. Each of these quadrilaterals has distinct attributes that make them valuable in geometry, such as the equal opposite angles in a parallelogram and the right angles in a rectangle.

Similar triangles, which have the same shape but not necessarily the same size, share proportional sides and equal corresponding angles. Understanding the properties of similar triangles is essential for applications in trigonometry, navigation, and architecture.

Exploring the relationships between angles and sides in polygons will enhance your problem-solving skills and geometric reasoning. The sum of the angles of a polygon formula ( (n - 2)180o or (2n – 4) right angles) provides a general method to calculate the total internal angles of any polygon.

Finally, the course material will cover the intriguing theorem of intercept (interior opposite angles are supplementary) and the relationship between exterior angles of polygons and their interior angles. These topics will deepen your knowledge of geometrical principles and applications.

Throughout this course material, we encourage you to engage actively with the content, practice applying the theorems and properties, and enjoy the beauty of geometric relationships in triangles and polygons.

PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral. Find $x$ + $y$

Detalles de la respuesta

∠PQR + ∠PSR = 180o (opp. angles of cyclic quad. are supplementary)

⇒ 5 $x$ - $y$ + 10 + (-2 $x$ + 3 $y$ + 145) = 180

⇒ 5 $x$ - $y$ + 10 - 2 $x$ + 3 $y$ + 145 = 180

⇒ 3 $x$ + 2 $y$ + 155 = 180

⇒ 3 $x$ + 2 $y$ = 180 - 155

⇒ 3 $x$ + 2 $y$ = 25 ----- (i)

∠QPS + ∠QRS = 180o (opp. angles of cyclic quad. are supplementary)

⇒ -4 $x$ - 7 $y$ + 150 + (2 $x$ + 8 $y$ + 105) = 180

⇒ -4 $x$ - 7 $y$ + 75 + 2 $x$ + 8 $y$ + 180 = 180

⇒ -2 $x$ + $y$ + 255 = 180

⇒ -2 $x$ + y = 180 - 255

⇒ -2 $x$ + $y$ = -75 ------- (ii)

⇒ $y$ = -75 + 2 $x$ -------- (iii)

Substitute (-75 + 2 $x$ ) for $y$ in equation (i)

⇒ 3 $x$ + 2(-75 + 2 $x$ ) = 25

⇒ 3 $x$ - 150 + 4 $x$ = 25

⇒ 7 $x$ = 25 + 150

⇒ 7 $x$ = 175

⇒ $x = \frac{175}{7} = 25$

From equation (iii)

⇒ $y$ = -75 + 2(25) = -75 + 50

⇒ $y$ = -25

∴ $x$ + $y$ = 25 + (-25) = 0
