Geometry Notes: Circles and Triangles

Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with shapes, sizes, and properties of figures, as

well as the space they occupy.

Key Concepts:

1. Circles:

- Radius: The distance from the center to any point on the circle.

- Diameter: Twice the radius, the longest distance across the circle.

- Circumference: The perimeter or boundary line of a circle.

2. Triangles:

- Types: Equilateral (all sides equal), Isosceles (two sides equal), Scalene (no sides equal).

- Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\), where 'c' is the hypotenuse.

Example Problems:

- Calculate the circumference of a circle with a radius of 4 cm (\(C = 2\pi r\)).

- Using the Pythagorean theorem, find the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle with sides 3

cm and 4 cm.

These notes provide a concise overview of the basic properties and calculations related to circles

and triangles.
