Chapter 1: Foundations for Geometry
Chapter 1 focuses on the basic building blocks of geometry. Studying this chapter will help you learn the most basic facts about planes, segments, angles, points and lines. You will learn the distance and midpoint formulas which will both be extremely useful in later chapters. This chapter will also teach you to identify transformations on the coordinate plane such as reflections, rotations and translations.
