Geometry is the branch of mathematics that studies shapes, sizes, positions, angles, and dimensions of objects in space. It explores properties such as symmetry, congruence, similarity, and transformations.
Congruent: Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and size.
Pythagorean Theorem: The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
Transformations: Transformations in geometry include translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations that change the position or size of a figure.
