    You use geometric terms in everyday language, often without thinking about it.

For example, any time you say “walk along this line” or “watch out, this road quickly angles to the left”, you are using geometric terms to make sense of the environment around you. In the world of mathematics, each of these geometric terms has a specific definition. It is important to know these definitions—as well as how different figures are constructed—to become familiar with the language of geometry.

This section provides the fundamental building blocks for working with the most basic quantity in Trigonometry - the angle. We delve into as much detail about angles as we dare, without introducing unnecessary topics. We cover a little bit of required Geometry for success in Trigonometry, and wrap things up with a brief geometric review of circles (another foundational topic for Trigonometry).

Show that XOA is acute if and only if XOB is obtuse. Since |XOA|,|XOB|π, we get that |XOA|+|XOB|=π.

    In this example, you may have noticed that angles ∠HJI, ∠IJF, and ∠HJM are all right angles. (If you were asked to find the measurement of ∠FJM, you would find that angle to be 90º, too.) This is what...In this example, you may have noticed that angles ∠HJI, ∠IJF, and ∠HJM are all right angles. (If you were asked to find the measurement of ∠FJM, you would find that angle to be 90º, too.) This is what happens when two lines are perpendicular—the four angles created by the intersection are all right angles.

Por ejemplo, cada vez que dices “caminar por esta línea” o “cuidado, este camino rápidamente se orienta hacia la izquierda”, estás usando términos geométricos para darle sentido al entorno que te rodea. En el mundo de las matemáticas, cada uno de estos términos geométricos tiene una definición específica. Es importante conocer estas definiciones —así como cómo se construyen diferentes figuras— para familiarizarse
