Area

Area(a)- the number of square units contained in a two dimensional shape and also is the surface space a shape takes up..
Example:



Area of square and rectangle>>> Length x Width = Area



Parallelogram-
a four figure with opposite sides, parallel and equal

Example:
Height(h)- the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.

Example:
Base(b)- side of a two dimensional closed figure.(SHAPE)

Example:

AREA OF PARALLELOGRAM
A=B X H


(b) is 5 cm and (h) is 3cm. Plug there values into a formula...

A = B X H

A= 5 x 3

A= 15cm

ANGLES

ANGLES


- Space Between Two Connection Lines

eg.










CUTE ANGLE



- An Angle That Is Less Than 90 dg.

eg.







Obtuse Angle


- An Angle that is greater than 90 dg. and less than 180 dg.

eg.









Right Angles


-Exactly 90 dg.

eg.














Straight Angle


- Exactly 180 dg.

eg.












ANGLE BISECTOR

- The Line That Divide And Angle In Two Equal Parts

- Equal Angles Are Marked With The Same Symbol dg.

eg.












HOW TO MAKE A ANGLE BISECTOR



1. Fold Paper


eg.








Method 2. Use Compass Make An Are From The Vertex That Crosses Both Arms.

LABEL THEM X,Y


2. Make An Are From Point X and Y They Must Be Equal Size.

3. Draw A Line From Point B To The Are Intersection.

eg.








Method 3. Use A Protractor

1. Measure The Angle DEF 140 dg.


2. Divide Your Angle Measurement By 2

140 dg. Divided By 2 = 70 dg.


3. Make A Mark At 70 dg. Using Protractor Labeled Q


Y. Join Point Q With The Vertex With A Straight Line


eg.

Bisecting Perpendicular Lines


Bisect-

Bi means two.
Sect means cut.
So if you put it together, bisect means to cut in two.


Perpendicular
Bisector-
A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides another line segment in half and is at right angles or 90 degrees.
Remember that equal line segments are marked with "hash" marks.


Ways to Make a Perpendicular Bisector:

- Use a right triangle.
- Use a ruler.
- Use a compass

1. Make an arc from point A that is greater than half way.
2. Make an equal sized arc from point B.
3. Connect the arc intersections with a straight line. That line is a perpendicular bisector.


Here is a video for all of you to enjoy and hopefully it will help you understand bisecting more.






** Today's Homework**
Draw a 12 centimeter line segment and label it PQ. Draw the perpendicular bisector of this segment using all three ways. Label the point where they intersect R.

Remember that there is going to be a test tomorrow on perpendicular, parallel and bisecting line segments. So everyone please study hard.(:


Please comment on my blog and please point out any mistakes I made.

How to Draw Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

How to Draw Parallel Lines

  1. fold and label paper like so:



  2. use a ruler and set square like so:






How to Draw Perpendicular Lines


  1. fold paper like so:




2. use protractor like so:



Remember...
Pages 86-88 #1-16 is HOMEWORK!!!
Here is a quick link to save you the trouble of typing.

If you still have trouble with perpendicular lines, here's a video.

Parallel and Perpendicular lines

Parallel and Perpendicular lines



Geometry- shapes and measurements.




Parallel- describes two lines in the same plane that never cross, or intersect.


- they are marked using arrows.






Perpendicular- describes lines that intersect at right angles. ( 90°)



- they are marked using a small square. ________________________________________________________________




measure the diference from:



A to B



B to C



E to F



F to G



I to J



J to K




they all are 8.9 cm.



_________________________



identify any parallel lines you can find.



AE // BF, EI // FJ, CG // BF, GK // JF, AI // CK

what d0 you notice about parallel lines? they always are the same distance apart no metter where you measure, as long as you measure a perpedicular line.

identify any perpendicular line segments.

AE __ DF , FE __ AI , BF __ EG , CG __ FH

What do you notice about perpendicular line segments? they all meet at 60° angles.

*****************************************************************************

here is a link to a video i watched about line parallel and perpendicular lines.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rew54K6mYUo

__________________________________________________________________

*HOMEWORK*

#1. Are line segments AC and DF parallel?

#2. Are line segments DF and BE perpendicular?

#3. Are line segments AC and BE perpendicular? How do you know?

#4. Would a line segment joining A to D be parallel to a line segment BE? How do you know?

What is BEDMAS?

Today at math we were learning BEDMAS.

1st B
- ( brackets )
2nd E- exponents 32, 43
3rd D- division
----M
-multiplication
4th A- addition
----S- subtraction

BEDMAS describes as the order of operations or the order of which you operate an equation.











To practice our knowledge, we were given equations to solve:

A. 2+3x4=
2+12=

14


B. 10-6÷2=
10-3=
7


C.(2+3)x4=

5x4=

20


D.(10=6)÷2=

4÷2=

2


E. 8÷22=

8÷4=

2


F. 4x3÷2+5=

12÷2+5=

6+5=

11


G. Create an equation that includes +, -, x, ÷, exponents, and brackets. The answer will equal 6. You can't repeat any number more than once and you can't use zero. Explain why you think my equation is right or wrong. If wrong, give an equation that is right and tell me what I did wrong.


This is the equation I got to get my answer:

(8x4)÷23+(9-7)=

32÷23+(9-7)=

32÷23+2=

32÷8+2=

4+2=

6

What we learnd today

Today we did number of the day and we work on something called order of operation. We a word called BED MAS. B is for brackets, E is for exponents, D is for division, M is for multiplication, A is for addition and S is for subtraction. Addition and Subtractions are brothers.multiplication and division are sisters.1 brackets are (3+1) 2 Exponents are 52 3 divide or multiply in order from left to right 4 addition or subtraction in order from left to right.
(1.75-0.5) times (4.2\0.6+7.3-1.2
0.70 times ( 4.2 \ 0.6) + 7.3 -1.2
0.70 times 7 + 7.3 - 1.2
4.9+7.3-1.2
4.9+6.1 =11

What sign goes were
5.2\4+2.1
1.3+2.1
3.4 =3.4

2 times 3 \ 6 + (2-1)
2 times 3 \ 6 + 1
6 \ 6 + 1
1+1 = 2

Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 \2. she claims the answer is 3.85. do you agree or disagree? Explain why or why not. I think it is wrong because I 1.7 + 6 \ 2 then 1.7 + 3=4.7 so I think it is wrong.
