Chapter 51 Concept Explanation: Angles of elevation and depression are concepts used in trigonometry to measure the angle formed between a horizontal line and a line of sight. These angles are frequently used in real-life problems involving heights and distances, such as determining how high an object is above ground

Chapter 50 Angles Concept Explanation: Angles are one of the most fundamental concepts in geometry. An angle is formed by two rays (the sides of the angle) that share a common endpoint, called the vertex. The measure of an angle indicates the rotation between the two rays and is typically

Chapter 49 Angle of Rotation Concept Explanation: The Angle of Rotation refers to the measure of the degree through which a point, line, or shape is rotated about a fixed point, called the center of rotation. The rotation can be clockwise or counterclockwise. When rotating figures on the coordinate plane,

Chapter 47 Angle of Intersecting Chords Theorem Concept Explanation: The Angle of Intersecting Chords Theorem states that if two chords intersect inside a circle, the measure of the angle formed by these intersecting chords is half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its

Chapter 48 Concept Explanation The Angle of Intersecting Secants Theorem helps in calculating the angle formed when two secants intersect outside a circle. It states that the measure of the angle formed by the secants is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs. The formula for this

Chapter 44 Concept Explanation: The AA Similarity Postulate states that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are similar. This means their corresponding sides are proportional, and their corresponding angles are congruent. If triangles and have and , then

Chapter 43 Concept Explanation: The Angle Addition Postulate states that if a point lies in the interior of , then: This means that the sum of the measures of two smaller angles formed by a point on the interior of an angle is equal to the measure of the entire

Chapter 41 Concept Explanation: The Altitude of a Triangle is a perpendicular segment from a vertex of the triangle to the line containing the opposite side (also called the base). The altitude forms a right angle with the base, and each triangle has three possible altitudes, one from each vertex.

Chapter 42 Amplitude and Period of Sine and Cosine Functions Concept Explanation The Amplitude of a sine or cosine function represents the maximum displacement from the equilibrium (midline) of the wave. It is the vertical stretch or compression of the graph. The amplitude is given by ( |A| ) in

Chapter 39: Alternate Interior Angles Concept Explanation: Alternate Interior Angles are pairs of angles that lie on opposite sides of a transversal but inside the two lines it intersects. When the lines are parallel, alternate interior angles are congruent. For example, in the diagram below, and , and and are
