Unit 1 Day 1


Unit 1 Day 1
Area of squares, rectangles, triangles, trapezoids, parallelograms, circles, and polygons  

(Scale Video 1 & 2)
(Tips From The Pros Video)

Definitions:
Point: a precise locations or place on a plane; usually represented with a dot
Line: a geometrical abject that is straight, infinitely long, and thin
Plane: a flat surface that is infinitely large with no thickness
Line Segment: straight line in which links two points and doesn’t extend beyond them
Ray: a portion of line that starts at a point and goes off in a particular direction to infinity
Angle: a shape formed by two lines or rays diverging from a common point
Median (of a triangle): a line segment joining a vertex to the mid point of the opposite
Altitude: the height of a shape
Perpendicular: when two lines intersect at 90 degrees


Formulas for Area:
Square- base x height
Rectangle- base x height
Triangle- base x height
                      2
Trapezoid- base1 + base2 x ½ height
Parallelograms- base x height
Circle- pi x radius squared
Polygon- ½ apothem x perimeter




Quiz:

1.) Find the area of a circle with a diameter of 6.7”









2.) Find the area of this trapezoid:                                               
                    4’
 


              10’



                      9’













3.) Find the area of this polygon:
                       6”

          6”                     6”
                    4”


         6”                      6”


                      6”




















Answer Key:

1.) 7.6/2 = 3.35
               3.35 squared= 11.2225
               11.2225 x pi = 35.25” Squared

2.) 10/2 = 5
      4+9 = 13
      5 x 13 = 65’ squared

3.) 4/2 = 2
     6 x 6 = 36
     36 x 2 = 72” squared
