summary

the content provides an in-depth exploration of fundamental geometry concepts, focusing on lines, angles, and their properties, crucial for mastering sat geometry questions.

geometry involves the study of shapes, requiring visual skills that can be enhanced through drawing and physically building shapes.
lines are straight and infinite, with the importance of not confusing straight lines with horizontal or vertical ones emphasized.
angles are formed by the intersection of lines or segments, measured in degrees, with specific attention to angle bisectors and perpendicular bisectors.
key facts about angles include the concepts of supplementary angles, vertical angles, and the properties of angles formed when a transversal intersects parallel lines.
practical advice includes actively engaging with geometry through drawing and building, and a reminder that assumptions about angles and lines should be based on explicit information provided.
