Brief definition Geometry is one of the interesting branches of Mathematics that deals with sizes, shapes, polygons, angles , and measurements. It also deals with the calculation of the area , surface area, perimeter , and volume of shapes, the relationship of terms such as lines, points, angles, solid figures and surfaces, spatial relationships, and attributes of an object. These are supported by the properties, postulates, and theorems in Geometry. There are also different branches of geometry such as plane, solid, and coordinate geometry, and many more.

Importance of the Topic The world is surrounded by many geometric properties. Learning geometry teaches learners to basically identify 2D and 3D shapes, lines, angles, and many more. It enhances the visual ability, good reasoning, and problem-solving of the learners and provides the learners the knowledge on how to measure things and see their connections, among others. Learning geometry is also learning to understand relationships among shapes which greatly contribute to drawing, doing artistic works, and thinking logically.

Application of the Learned Topic in Life Geometry has the most evident applications in life. This is used in different fields such as architecture, engineering, art, sports, technology, and many more. In day-to-day life, geometry is used to measure how long a line is, how many gift wrappers you need to cover a box of shoes, how much of an ingredient should be used to make a perfect dish, and such. Geometry is also very evident in nature, like the leaves on the trees, petals of a flower, roots, and barks. Construction of buildings also involves geometry, where engineers need to know how long a staircase should be to make it safe and proportional to the ground and wall.

High School: Geometry » Introduction #

An understanding of the attributes and relationships of geometric objects can be applied in diverse contexts—interpreting a schematic drawing, estimating the amount of wood needed to frame a sloping roof, rendering computer graphics, or designing a sewing pattern for the most efficient use of material.

Although there are many types of geometry, school mathematics is devoted primarily to plane Euclidean geometry, studied both synthetically (without coordinates) and analytically (with coordinates). Euclidean geometry is characterized most importantly by the Parallel Postulate, that through a point not on a given line there is exactly one parallel line. (Spherical geometry, in contrast, has no parallel lines.)

During high school, students begin to formalize their geometry experiences from elementary and middle school, using more precise definitions and developing careful proofs. Later in college some students develop Euclidean and other geometries carefully from a small set of axioms.

The concepts of congruence, similarity, and symmetry can be understood from the perspective of geometric transformation. Fundamental are the rigid motions: translations, rotations, reflections, and combinations of these, all of which are here assumed to preserve distance and angles (and therefore shapes generally). Reflections and rotations each explain a particular type of symmetry, and the symmetries of an object offer insight into its attributes—as when the reflective symmetry of an isosceles triangle assures that its base angles are congruent.

In the approach taken here, two geometric figures are defined to be congruent if there is a sequence of rigid motions that carries one onto the other. This is the principle of superposition. For triangles, congruence means the equality of all corresponding pairs of sides and all corresponding pairs of angles. During the middle grades, through experiences drawing triangles from given conditions, students notice ways to specify enough measures in a triangle to ensure that all triangles drawn with those measures are congruent. Once these triangle congruence criteria (ASA, SAS, and SSS) are established using rigid motions, they can be used to prove theorems about triangles, quadrilaterals, and other geometric figures.

Similarity transformations (rigid motions followed by dilations) define similarity in the same way that rigid motions define congruence, thereby formalizing the similarity ideas of “same shape” and “scale factor” developed in the middle grades. These transformations lead to the criterion for triangle similarity that two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.

The definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent for acute angles are founded on right triangles and similarity, and, with the Pythagorean Theorem, are fundamental in many real-world and theoretical situations. The Pythagorean Theorem is generalized to non-right triangles by the Law of Cosines. Together, the Laws of Sines and Cosines embody the triangle congruence criteria for the cases where three pieces of information suffice to completely solve a triangle. Furthermore, these laws yield two possible solutions in the ambiguous case, illustrating that Side-Side-Angle is not a congruence criterion.Analytic geometry connects algebra and geometry, resulting in powerful methods of analysis and problem solving. Just as the number line associates numbers with locations in one dimension, a pair of perpendicular axes associates pairs of numbers with locations in two dimensions. This correspondence between numerical coordinates and geometric points allows methods from algebra to be applied to geometry and vice versa. The solution set of an equation becomes a geometric curve, making visualization a tool for doing and understanding algebra. Geometric shapes can be described by equations, making algebraic manipulation into a tool for geometric understanding,  modeling, and proof. Geometric transformations of the graphs of equations correspond to algebraic changes in their equations.

Dynamic geometry environments provide students with experimental and modeling tools that allow them to investigate geometric phenomena in much the same way as computer algebra systems allow them to experiment with algebraic phenomena.

Common Core Geometry - Unit #2 Transformations, Rigid Motions and Congruence

Description

This 9-lesson unit contains lessons the focus on geometric transformations, mostly concentrating on rigid body motions. Later lessons in the unit then look at the connection between rigid motions and congruence and how these types of transformations can be used to prove important geometric properties.

Congruence of figures is defined by: 

Two figures are congruent if and only if one can be mapped onto the other by one or more rigid motions.

Dilations and other transformations that change the shape or size of the figure do not produce congruence.

A congruence statement relates one identical object to another by identifying the corresponding parts that match each other.

If these were named differently, for example Quad ABCD ≅ Quad NPMO, then their corresponding congruent parts would be different.  The order that they are placed in directly relates the corresponding part.

CPCFC – Corresponding Parts of Congruent Figures are Congruent.

Determine congruence using a single or sequence of isometric transformations.

CONCEPT 2 - Given two figures, use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if they are congruent.
