GRADE 8 MATHEMATICS – CLEAN STUDY NOTES 1.

GEOMETRY OF STRAIGHT LINES • Angles


on a straight line = 180°. • Adjacent angles form a straight line → supplementary (180°). • Angles
around a point = 360°. • Vertically opposite angles are equal. • In parallel lines cut by a transversal: –
Alternate angles are equal. – Corresponding angles are equal. – Co-interior angles sum to 180°. 2.
TRIANGLES • Interior angles of a triangle = 180°. • Exterior angle = sum of the two opposite interior
angles. • Isosceles triangle: equal sides → equal angles. 3. QUADRILATERALS • Interior angles of
quadrilaterals = 360°. • Parallelogram: – Opposite sides are parallel and equal. – Opposite angles are
equal. 4. PYTHAGORAS' THEOREM For right-angled triangles: a² + b² = c² (c is the hypotenuse). 5.
PERIMETER • Perimeter = total distance around a shape. • Rectangle: 2(l + b) • Square: 4 × side 6.
AREA • Rectangle = l × b • Square = s² • Triangle = ½ × base × height • Parallelogram = base × height
7. CIRCLES • Circumference: C = 2πr • Area: A = πr² 8. IRREGULAR SHAPES Break shape into
rectangles/triangles → find areas → add.
