AB means the line segment with endpoints A and B.
AB means the distance between A and B.

EG
E is between C and D.G is not between C and D.For one point to be between two other points, the three points must be collinear.
If Q is between P and R, then PQ + QR = PR.
What does this mean?
Start with a picture:P RQ
If point Q is between points P and R, then the distance between P and Q plus the distance between Q and R is equal to the distance between P and R.
If PQ + QR = PR, then Q is between P and R.
What does this mean?
If the measure of segment PQ plus the measure of segment QR is equal to the measure of segment PR, then point Q must be between points P and R.

Finding the Distance Between Two Points
Using the Pythagorean theorem
(x 2 – x 1) 2 + ( y 2 – y 1)
2 = d 2
THE DISTANCE FORMULA
The distance d between the points (x 1, y 1) and
(x 2, y 2) isd = (x 2 – x 1)
2 + ( y 2 – y 1)

Solving this for d
produces the

Finding the Distance Between Two Points
Find the distance between (1, 4) and (–2, 3).
d = (x 2 – x 1) 2 + ( y 2

Applying the Distance Formula
A player kicks a soccer ball that is 10 yards from a sideline and 5 yards from a goal line.
The ball lands 45 yards from the same goal line and 40 yards from the same sideline. How
far was the ball kicked?
The ball is kicked from the point (10, 5), and
lands at the point (40, 45). Use the distance
formula.
d = (40 – 10) 2 +
(45 – 5) 2
= 900 + 1600
= 2500
= 50
The ball was kicked 50 yards.

Finding the Midpoint Between Two Points
The midpoint of a line segment is the point on the segment that is equidistant from its end-
points. The midpoint between two points is the midpoint of the line segment connecting
them.
THE MIDPOINT FORMULA
The midpoint between the points (x 1, y 1) and (x
2, y 2) is
x 1 + x 2

Finding the Midpoint Between Two Points
Find the midpoint between the points (–2, 3) and (4, 2). Use a graph to check the result.
CHECK
From the graph, you can see
that the point ,
appears halfway between (–
2, 3) and (4, 2). You can also
use the distance formula to
check that the distances from
the midpoint to each given
point are equal.

You are using computer software to design a video game. You want to place a buried
treasure chest halfway between the center of the base of a palm tree and the corner of a
large boulder. Find where you should place the treasure chest.

ANGLES
You will learn to classify angles as acute, obtuse,
right, or straight.
What is an angle?
Two rays that share the same endpoint form an angle. The point where the rays intersect is called the vertex of the angle. The two rays are called the sides of the angle.
Here are some examples
of angles.
We can identify an angle by using a point on each ray and the vertex. The angle below may be identified as angle ABC or as angle CBA; you may also see this written as <ABC or as <CBA. The vertex point is always in the middle.
Angle Measurements We measure the size of an angle using
degrees. Here are some examples of angles and
their degree measurements.
Acute Angles An acute angle is an angle measuring
between 0 and 90 degrees. The following angles are all acute angles.
Obtuse Angles An obtuse angle is an angle measuring
between 90 and 180 degrees. The following angles are all obtuse.
Right Angles A right angle is an angle measuring 90
degrees. The following angles are both right angles.
Straight Angle
A straight angle is 180 degrees.
Adjacent, Vertical, Linear PairSupplementary, and
Complementary Angles
Adjacent angles are “side by side” and share a common ray.

1.6 Classify Polygons
Identifying Polygons
Formed by three or more line segments called sides.
It is not open. The sides do not cross. No curves.
POLYGONS
NOT POLYGONS
Terms Convex: a polygon is convex if no line that
contains a side of the polygon contains a point in the interior of the polygon.
•Concave: a polygon that is nonconvex.

6 Hexagon 12 Dodecagon
7 Heptagon n n-gon
Definitions n-gon: a polygon with n number of sides. Equilateral: a polygon whose sides are all
congruent. Equiangular: a polygon whose angles are
all congruent. Regular: a polygon whose sides are
equilateral and whose angles are equiangular.
Determine if the figure is a polygon. If yes, state whether it is convex or concave
Yes, conclave Yes, convex
This figure is equilateral because all sides are the congruentIt is also equiangular because all angles are congruent.Therefore this is a regular pentagon.
