Geometry

Proofs, transformations, circles and solid geometry

Explanation

Transformations

  • Translation: slide — every point moves the same distance in the same direction.
  • Reflection: flip over a line (axis of reflection).
  • Rotation: turn around a point by a given angle.
  • Dilation: scale up or down from a centre point by a scale factor.

Circles

  • Circumference: C = 2πr = πd
  • Area: A = πr²
  • Arc length: (central angle/360°) × 2πr
  • Sector area: (central angle/360°) × πr²
