-====Polygons====
+=== misc ===
+Truth tables:
-The __sum of angles in a polygon__ = 180 (n - 2), where n = number of sides. This can also be written as: 180 + 180 (n-3). (Basically you add in another triangle when adding a side to polygon)
+first columns : True/False values of the variables, such as p, q, or p' or ~p for inverse values. Next columns are logic combinations of the variables
-====Triangles====
-Definitions:
-  * isosceles - 2 sides the same length
-  * equilateral - all 3 sides the same length
-  * similar triangles - triangles that have same shape (all 3 angles), but size can be different. The sides have same ratios
-  * congruent triangles - triangles that have the same shape and size
-  * CPCT - corresponding parts of congruent triangles (are equal)
-__Centroid of a triangle__ - center (where the lines bisecting each angle will meet)
-  * average the x corner values, and average of y corner values
-  * the bisecting line will have 2/3 of its length between the corner and the centroid and 1/3 from centroid to far side of triangle
-  * the six small triangles formed by bisecting lines all have equal area
-Area of a triangle = base*height/2
-__Heron's formula__ - area of any triangle, with sides of length a,b,c, don't know height
-  semiperimeter (sp) = perimeter/2 = (a+b+c)/2
-  area = √(sp(sp-a)(sp-b)(sp-c))
-===Congruent triangles===
-Theorems to prove triangles are congruent:
-  * AAS - angle-angle-side
-  * ASA - angle-side-angle
-  * SAS - side-angle-side
-  * SSS - side-side-side
-  * RHS - right-angle, hypotenuse, side (basically ASS, which doesn't work for all angles, but does for right-angle). Using Pythagorean theorem can be converted to SSS.
-===Right Triangles===
--45-90 triangle: hyp = side * √2
--60-90 triangle: short side = a, long side = a*√3, hyp = 2a
-__area__ of a right triangle = 1/2*h*w
-__hypotenuse__ is the side opposite the right angle, __opposite__ is the side opposite the given angle, __adjacent__ is the side next to the given angle
-SOHCAHTOA (Soak a toe-ah): Sin=Opp/Hyp, Cos=Adj/Hyp, Tan=Opp/Adj
-__law of sines:__
-  sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c  (sometimes a/sin(A) = ...)
-__law of cosines__ - to find an angle when all the sides are known
-  cos(A) = (b² + c² - a²) / (2bc)
-  cos(C) = (a² + b² - c²) / (2ab), cos(B) is same pattern
-    (side a is opposite angle A, etc)
-  rewriting it: c = √(a² + b² - 2abcos(C))
-====Circles====
-  * __chord__ has two endpoints on a circle
-  * __secant__ is a line that contains a chord, but extends beyond the circle
-  * __Intercepted arc__ is the part of the circle contained within the two lines
-  * __Central angle__ is angle of two lines from the center of the circle
-  * __Inscribed/Interior angle__ has two points and the vertex all on the circle itself
-  * __central angle__ is same as the degrees of intercepted arc
-if two chords AB, CD intersect at P, then AP * PB = CP * PD
-Interior angle = 1/2 of intercepted arc
-  all inscribed angles going to the two same points on the circle have the same angle
-  angle of intersecting secants theorem:
-      angle formed by the secant intersection = (opposite arc - adjacent arc)/2
-An angle outside the circle with two secants (or tangents) will have an angle
-  that is 1/2 * (difference of the intercepted arcs)
-coterminal angle - the rest of the circle outside the angle.
+| p | q | p ⋂ q | p ⋃ q| p => q |
-  eg. angle of 30', the coterminal is 330'
+| T | T | T | T | T |
-  in radians, use the absolute value.
+| T | F | F | T | F |
-pi - |angle|, or |angle| - 2pi for the negative angle
+| F | T | F | T | T |
+| F | F | F | F | T |
+p => q means condition p implies condition q. If p is true, then an implication can be drawn or not, depending on q. If p is false, then an implication cannot be ruled out, regardless of q, so it is left as true.
-area of an arc:
-  a = rad*r²/2  .... comes from a = πr² for full circle, and the
-                      proportion of a circle in the arc is rad/2π
-                      so a = (rad/2π)*(πr²)
