GEOMETRY

Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the measurements and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces and solids.

What are the basic geometric shapes?

1. An angle measures 37. Find its complement.

2. Find the supplement of an angle that measures 104.

3. Find the angle if its complimentary angle is 20 greater. 4. An angle measures 30 less than twice its supplement. Find the measure of its supplement. 5. An angle measures 60 less than its complement. Find the measure of its complement.

A polygon is a closed plane figure made up of two line segments. These line segments which form the sides of the polygon , meet at point called the vertices.

Congruent figures have exactly the same size and shape. Matching parts of congruent figures are called corresponding parts. The symbol for congruency is .

congruent line segments

congruent angles

congruent triangles

Similar figures have the same shape but may or may not have the same size..

A figure is symmetrical if both of its sides match when folded in half. The line of symmetry divides the figure into two congruent parts.

Is this figure symmetrical?

Congruent or similar?

Which shape is similar to the figure on the left?

Perimeter is the distance around a twodimensional shape . It comes from the Greek word peri (around) and meter (measure).

The perimeter of the square = 15 cm + 15 cm + 15 cm + 15 cm = 60 cm OR 4 X 15 cm = 60 cm

LETS HAVE SOME FUN!!!!!

1. A rectangular field measures 30 m by 6 m. What is the perimeter of the field? 2. Seth has a pool in the shape of a pentagon. Each side of the pool is 11 meters long. What is the perimeter of the pool? 3. An octagonal table has a side which measures 90 cm. What is the perimeter of the table?

4. Anne walks her dog around a park each day. The dimensions of the park are 90 m, 87 m, 95m and 85 m. What is the distance covered by Anne and her dog daily?

5. Gerry wants to put a fence around his garden which is 7.96 m long and 5.88 m wide. Find the length of the fence.

The area of a shape is the amount of space inside that figure.

The area of this square is 9 square units.

Formulas in Finding the Area

3. Find the area of the following figures:

5 dm

6 cm

8 dm

10 cm

4. A rectangular room measures 10 m by 5 m. What is the area of this room?

5. Tiffany wants new carpeting for her family room which has a dimension of 12 m by 4 m. How much carpeting does she need to buy to cover her entire room?
