Circumference
Center: The point which all
points of the circle are
equidistant to.
Radius: The distance from
the center to a point on
the circle
Chord: A segment
connecting two points on
the circle.
Diameter: A chord that
passes through the center
of the circle.
Circumference: The
distance around a circle.
Circumference Formula:
C = 2r or C = d
Area Formula:
A = r2
Circumference Example
C = 2r
5 cm C = 2(5cm)
C = 10 cm
Area Example
A = r2
Since d = 14 cm
then r = 7cm
14 cm
A = (7)2
A = 49 cm

share
one common point.
Intersecting lines
can
form different types
of
angles.
Complementary Angles
Two angles that
equal 90º
Supplementary Angles
Two angles that equal 180º
Corresponding Angles

vertically identical
they share a
common vertex and
have a line running
through them

Exterior Angle Sum Theorem
What is the Exterior
Angle Sum Theorem?
The exterior angle
is equal to the sum
of the interior
angles on the 40
opposite of the
triangle.

Pythagorean Theorem
Cleveland Broome
NSHS
Pythagorean Theorem
The Pythagorean theorem
This theorem reflects the sum of the
squares of the sides of a right triangle
that will equal the square of the
hypotenuse.
C2 =A2 +B2
A right triangle has sides a, b and c.
c
b
a
If a =4 and b=5 then what is c?
Calculations:
A2 + B2 = C2
16 + 25 = 41
To further solve for the length of C
Take the square root of C
41 = 6.4
This finds the length of the Hypotenuse
of the right triangle.
The theorem will help calculate distance when traveling
between two destinations.

Types of Triangles
Triangles Are Classified Into 2
Main Categories.
Triangles Classified
by Sides
These triangles have all 3 sides of
different lengths.
Isosceles Triangles
These triangles have at least 2 sides
of the same length. The third side is
not necessarily the same length as the
other 2 sides.
Equilateral Triangles
These triangles have all 3 sides of the
same length.
Triangles
Classified by
their Angles
Acute Triangles
These Triangles Have All Three
Angles That Each Measure Less
Than 90 Degrees.
Right Triangles
These triangles have exactly one
angle that measures 90 degrees.
The other 2 angles will each be
acute.
Obtuse
Triangles
These triangles have exactly one
obtuse angle, meaning an angle greater
than 90 degrees, but less than 180
degrees. The other 2 angles will each
be acute.
Quadrilaterals
A polygon that has four sides
Paulette Granger
Quadrilateral
Objectives
Upon completion of this lesson, students
will:
have been introduced to quadrilaterals and
their properties.
have learned the terminology used with
quadrilaterals.
have practiced creating particular
quadrilaterals based on specific
characteristics of the quadrilaterals.
Parallelogram
• A quadrilateral that
contains two pairs
of parallel sides
Rectangle
• A parallelogram with
four right angles
Square
• A parallelogram with
four congruent sides
and four right
angles
Group Activity
Each group design a different
quadrilateral and prove that its creation
fits the desired characteristics of the
specified quadrilateral. The groups
could then show the class what they
created and how they showed that the
desired characteristics were present.

Classifying Angles
Dorothy J. Buchanan--NSHS
Right angle
90°
Straight Angle
180°
Examples
Acute angle
35°
Obtuse angle
135°
If you look around you, you’ll see
angles are everywhere. Angles are
measured in degrees. A degree is a
fraction of a circle—there are 360
degrees in a circle, represented like
this: 360°.
You can think of a right angle as one-
fourth of a circle, which is 360° divided
by 4, or 90°.
An obtuse angle measures greater than
90° but less than 180°.
Complementary &
Supplementary
Angles
Olga Cazares
North Shore High School
Complementary Angles
Complementary
angles are two
adjacent angles
60 ° whose sum is 90°
30 °
60 ° + 30 ° = 90°
Supplementary Angles
Supplementary
angles are two
adjacent angles
120°
whose sum is 180°
60°
120° + 60° = 180°
Application
First look at the
12°
picture. The angles
are complementary
angles.

Set up the equation:
12 + x = 180

Parallel and
Perpendicular Lines
by
Melissa Arneaud
Recall:
Equation of a straight line: Y=mX+C
Slope of Line = m
Y-Intercept = C
Parallel Lines
Symbol: “||”
Two lines are parallel if they never meet
or touch.
Look at the lines below, do they meet?
Line AB is parallel to Line PQ or AB || PQ
Slopes of Parallel Lines
If two lines are parallel then they have
the same slope.
Example:
Line 1: y = 2x + 1
Line 2: y = 2x + 6
THINK: What is the slope of line 1?
What is the slope of line 2?
Are these two lines parallel?
Perpendicular Lines
Two lines are perpendicular if they
intersect each other at 90°.
Look at the two lines below:
A D
C B
Is AB perpendicular to CD? If the answer is yes,
why?
Slopes of Perpendicular
Lines
The slopes of perpendicular lines are
negative reciprocals of each other.
Example:
Line 3: y = 2x + 5
Line 4: y = -1/2 x + 8
THINK: What is the slope of line 3?
What is the slope of line 4?
Are these two lines perpendicular. If so, why?
