Plane geometry Relations and properties of shapes triangles

Plane geometry • Relations and properties of shapes (triangles, rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and circles), angles, parallel lines, and perpendicular lines. • What happens when you move or change these shapes? –Translations, rotations, reflections • Proofs –Justification, logic. • Three-dimensional geometry • Measurements: perimeter, area, and volume.

• Circles Plane geometry Source: http: //www. erikthered. com/tutor/act-facts-and-formulas. pdf

Plane geometry • Lines in a plane • What do we know about a and b in both of these cases? Source: http: //www. erikthered. com/tutor/act-facts-and-formulas. pdf

Plane geometry • Other shape areas and perimeters. • • • If an angle is greater than 90, it is obtuse. If an angle is less than 90, it is acute. If an angle is 90, it is a right angle. TRIANGLE: SUM OF ALL ANGLES = 180 SQUARE AND RECTANGLE: SUM OF ALL ANGLES = 360 Source: http: //www. erikthered. com/tutor/act-facts-and-formulas. pdf

Plane geometry • Right Triangles How do you find the length of a side in a right triangle? Pythagorean Theorem. • Other Triangles: Equilateral (all three sides are equal), Isosceles (two equal sides), and Similar (corresponding angles are equal and sides are in proportion).

Miscellaneous Topics – Probabilities – Examples Given: 5 red marbles are placed in a bag along with 6 blue marbles and 9 white marbles: Question: if three white marbles are removed, what is the probability the next marble removed will be white? • Originally, there were 9 white marbles out of 20; with 3 white marbles removed, there are 6 out of 17 remaining. The probability the next marble removed is white = 6/17. Question: if 4 blue marbles are added to the original amount, what is the probability the first marble removed is NOT white? • Now there are 24 marbles total with 15 non-white. The probability that the first marble removed is not white is 15/24. 12
