GeometryAREA OF POLYGONS AND COMPLEX FIGURESArea is the number of non-overlapping square units needed to cover the interior region of a twodimensional figure or the surface area of a three-dimensional figure. For example, area is theregion that is covered by floor tile (two-dimensional) or paint on a box or a ball (threedimensional).For additional information about specific shapes, see the boxes below.

GeometryNAMING QUADRILATERALS AND ANGLESA quadrilateral is any four-sided polygon. There are six special cases of quadrilaterals withwhich students should be familiar. Trapezoid – A quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. Parallelogram – A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. Rectangle – A quadrilateral with four right angles. Rhombus – A quadrilateral with four sides of equal length. Square – A quadrilateral with four right angles and four sides of equal length. Kite – A quadrilateral with two distinct pairs of consecutive sides of equal length.Names of Basic AnglesAcute angles are angles with measures between (but not including) 0º and 90º, right anglesmeasure 90º, and obtuse angles measure between (but not including) 90ºand 180º. A straightangle measures 180º.37 acute90 right180 obtusestraightStudents use protractors to measure the size of angles.For more information see the Math Notes box in Lesson 8.3.1 of the Core Connections, Course 2text.Parent Guide with Extra Practice147

Example 1For the figure at right, describe the quadrilateral using all termsthat are appropriate.It is a rectangle since it has four right angles.It is a parallelogram since it has two pairs of parallel sides.It is also a trapezoid since it has at least one pair of parallel sides.Example 2Describe the angle at right as right, obtuse or acute. Estimate thesize of the angle and then use a protractor to measure the angle. Itmay be necessary to trace the angle and extend the sides.This angle opens narrower than a right angle so it is acute. Using aprotractor shows that the angle measures 60º.ProblemsFor each figure, describe the quadrilateral using all terms that are appropriate. Assume that sidesthat look parallel are parallel.1.2.3.4.5.6.148Core Connections, Courses 1–3

GeometryCIRCLES – CIRCUMFERENCE AND AREACIRCUMFERENCEradiusThe radius of a circle is a line segment from its center to any point onthe circle. The term is also used for the length of these segments. Morethan one radius are called radii. A chord of a circle is a line segmentjoining any two points on a circle. A diameter of a circle is a chord thatgoes through its center. The term is also used for the length of thesechords. The length of a diameter is twice the length of a radius.The circumference of a circle is similar to the perimeter of a polygon.The circumference is the length of a circle. The circumference wouldtell you how much string it would take to go around a circle once.diameterchordCircumference is explored by investigating the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of acircle. This ratio is a constant number, pi (π). Circumference is then found by multiplying π by, 3.14, or the π button on their calculator, depending on thethe diameter. Students may use 227teacher’s or the book’s directions.C 2π r or C πdFor additional information, see the Math Notes boxes in Lessons 8.3.3 and 9.1.2 of the CoreConnections, Course 2 text or Lesson 3.2.2 of the Core Connections, Course 3 text.

GeometryAREA OF A CIRCLEIn class, students have done explorations with circles and circular objects to discover therelationship between circumference, diameter, and pi (π). To read more about the in-classexploration of area, see problems 9-22 through 9-26 (especially 9-26) in the Core Connections,Course 2 text.In order to find the area of a circle, students need to identify the radius of the circle. The radiusis half the diameter. Next they will square the radius and multiply the result by π. Depending onthe teacher’s or book’s preference, students may use 22for π when the radius or diameter is a7fraction, 3.14 for π as an approximation, or the π button on a calculator. When using the πbutton, most teachers will want students to round to the nearest tenth or hundredth.The formula for the area of a circle is: A r2π.Example 1Example 2Find the area of a circle with r 17 feet.Find the area of a circle with d 84 cm.A (17 ) π (17 · 17) (3.14) 907.46 square feetr 42 cm2A ( 42 ) π (42 · 42) (3.14) 5538.96 square cm2ProblemsFind the area of the circles with the following radius or diameter lengths.

RIGID TRANSFORMATIONSStudying transformations of geometric shapes builds a foundation for a key idea ingeometry: congruence. In this introduction to transformations, the students explore threerigid motions: translations, reflections, and rotations. A translation slides a figurehorizontally, vertically or both. A reflection flips a figure across a fixed line (for example,the x-axis). A rotation turns an object about a point (for example, (0, 0) ). This explorationis done with simple tools that can be found at home (tracing paper) as well as with computersoftware. Students change the position and/or orientation of a shape by applying one ormore of these motions to the original figure to create its image in a new position withoutchanging its size or shape. Transformations also lead directly to studying symmetry inshapes. These ideas will help with describing and classifying geometric shapes later in thecourse.For additional information, see the Math Notes box in Lesson 6.1.3 of the CoreConnections, Course 3 text.Example 1Decide which transformation was used on each pair of shapes below. Some may be acombination of transformations.a.b.c.d.e.f.158Core Connections, Courses 1–3

GeometryIdentifying a single transformation is usually easy for students. In part (a), the parallelogram isreflected (flipped) across an invisible vertical line. (Imagine a mirror running vertically betweenthe two figures. One figure would be the reflection of the other.) Reflecting a shape oncechanges its orientation, that is, how its parts “sit” on the flat surface. For example, in part (a), thetwo sides of the figure at left slant upwards to the right, whereas in its reflection at right, theyslant upwards to the left. Likewise, the angles in the figure at left “switch positions” in the figureat right.In part (b), the shape is translated (or slid) to the right and down. The orientation is the same.Part (c) shows a combination of transformations. First the triangle is reflected (flipped) across aninvisible horizontal line. Then it is translated (slid) to the right. The pentagon in part (d) hasbeen rotated (turned) clockwise to create the second figure. Imagine tracing the first figure ontracing paper, then holding the tracing paper with a pin at one point below the first pentagon,then turning the paper to the right (that is, clockwise) 90 . The second pentagon would be theresult. Some students might see this as a reflection across a diagonal line. The pentagon itselfcould be, but with the added dot, the entire shape cannot be a reflection. If it had been reflected,the dot would have to be on the corner below the one shown in the rotated figure. The trianglesin part (e) are rotations of each other (90 clockwise again). Part (f) shows another combination.The triangle is rotated (the horizontal side becomes vertical) but also reflected since the longestside of the triangle points in the opposite direction from the first figure.Example 2yTranslate (slide) ΔABC right six units and up three units. Give thecoordinates of the new triangle.The original vertices are A(–5, –2), B(–3, 1), and C(0, –5). The newvertices are A' (1, 1), B ' (3, 4), and C ' (6, –2). Notice that the change toeach original point (x, y) can be represented by ( x 6, y 3 ).B'BA'xC'ACExample 3Reflect (flip) ΔABC with coordinates A(5, 2), B(2, 4), and C(4, 6) acrossthe y-axis to get ΔA' B'C ' . The key is that the reflection is the samedistance from the y-axis as the original figure. The new points areA ' (–5, 2), B ' (–2, 4), and C ' (–4, 6). Notice that in reflecting across they-axis, the change to each original point (x, y) can be represented by(–x, y).C'yB'CBA'AP xQIf you reflect ΔABC across the x-axis to get ΔPQR , then the new pointsare P(5, –2), Q(2, –4), and R(4, –6).

Notice that for this 90 ABxA''counterclockwise rotation about the origin, the change to each originalC''point (x, y) can be represented by (–y, x).Rotating another 90 (180 from the starting location) yields ΔA"B"C "with coordinates A"(–2, 0), B"(–6, 0), and C"(–3, –4).For this 180 counterclockwise rotation about the origin, the change to each original point (x, y)can be represented by (–x, –y). Similarly a 270 counterclockwise or 90 clockwise rotation aboutthe origin takes each original point (x, y) to the point (y, –x).ProblemsFor each pair of triangles, describe the transformation that moves triangle A to the location oftriangle B.1.2.AABB3.4.ABBAFor the following problems, refer to the figures below:Figure AFigure ByyBCAxAFigure CyCBABxxC160Core Connections, Courses 1–3

SIMILAR FIGURESTwo figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size are similar. In similarfigures the measures of the corresponding angles are equal and the ratios of the correspondingsides are proportional. This ratio is called the scale factor. For information about correspondingsides and angles of similar figures see Lesson 4.1.1 in the Core Connections, Course 2 text or theMath Notes box in Lesson 6.2.2 of the Core Connections, Course 3 text. For information aboutscale factor and similarity, see the Math Notes boxes in Lesson 4.1.2 of the Core Connections,Course 2 text or Lesson 6.2.6 of the Core Connections, Course 3 text.Example 1Determine if the figures are similar.
