8.7 Vectors contd

  • (26-27)


7.4 and Investigation 7.5 gh.PDF

  • complete Investigation 7.5
  • 3rd hour...I forgot to tell you how to find the diameter of your round objects so here are the directions. If you know anyone in 4th hour, they can explain it to you as well....
  • To find the diameter of your round object, you need to know where the center is right? So how do you find the center of your roll of masking tape for instance?
  • First, trace your round object on apiece of paper. Then draw a chord (segment whose endpoints lie ON the circle). Then construct the perpendicular bisector (fishy) of that chord. Draw a second chord, different from your first. Then construct the perpendicular bisector of that chord. Where the 2 perpendicular bisectors intersect will be the center of your circle. From there, you can draw the radius of your circle. Measure it. Then double it to get your diameter.

Constructions for Dummies


  • this is worth a 100 points

  • due next Wednesday

  • must include the following as chapters:

  • Chapter 1: how to duplicate a segment
  • Chapter 2: how to duplicate an angle
  • Chapter 3: how to construct a perpendicular bisector of a segment
  • Chapter 4: how to construct the angle bisector of an angle
  • Chapter 5: how to construct a parallel line given a line (I have not taught this yet)
  • Chapter 6: how to construct an equilateral triangle or 60 degree angle (I have not taught this yet)
  • Chapter 7: how to construct a perpendicular through a point NOT on a line
  • Chapter 8: how to construct a perpendicular through a point ON a line
  • Chapter 9: how to construct a median of a triangle
  • Chapter 10: how to construct the circumcenter (3 perpendicular bisectors) of a triangle
  • Chapter 11: how to construct the incenter (3 angle bisectors) of a triangle
  • Chapter 12: how to construct the centroid (3 medians) of a triangle
  • Chapter 13: how to construct the orthocenter (3 altitdues) of a triangle
  • Chapter 14: how to circumscribe a circle about a triangle
  • Chapter 15: how to inscribe a circle in a triangle
  • your book must include a title page that contains the author's name and period
  • must include a Table of Contents
  • you must give detailed step-by-step instructions on HOW to perform the constructions. You are creating a Construction Book for Dummies....that means you assume the reader (me, Ms. Chan) knows nothing about constructions. I bought your book to teach myself. Your step-by-step directions should make it very easy for me to learn these constructions. These directions need to be typed. 12 point font, Times New Roman.
  • Obviously, you will need to perform the construction on your paper yourself.
  • Neatness counts
  • If you add color, your chances of getting a better grade will improve.
  • The more you creative you are, the better your book will sell.....
  • you should be able to knock out most of these chapters over the weekend.
  • Practice, practice, practice the constructions before you actually add it to your paper with the directions so that everything is nice and neat!

4.5 Proving Triangles Congruent by ASA, AAS pg. 277

MA.912.G.4.6


  • Aim 1: to use the ASA Postualte to test for congruence
  • Aim 2: to use the AAS Postualte to test for congruence
  • finish the AAS construction. Remember, AAS stands for angle-angle-side. That means you are only allowed to copy 2 angles and a side that is NOT NOT NOT between them! if you copy anything else besides 2 angles and a side NOT NOT NOT NOT between them, you are cheating! here's a hint on how to do it: the sum of all three angles of a triangle is equal to what? a straight line has how many degrees? what is the relationship between the sum of all the angles of a triangle and a straight line?

    Writing Equations of Perpendicular Bisectors & determining where they intersect in a Triangle

    Given triangle KIM with coordinates K (0, 6) I(0, -6) and M (12, 0):

    1. Write the equation of the perpendicular bisector of side KI. (hint: remember, to write the equation of any line, you MUST have two things....what are the 2 things? Yes, the slope of the line and a point ON the line!) (Hint #2: what do you know about the slopes of perpendicular lines?) (hint #3: what does the word "bisect" mean? Therefore, a point on the line would be the......? Yes! midpoint! How do you find the midpoint? avg of the x's and the avg of the y's)
    2. Write the equation of the perpendicular bisector of side IM.
    3. Write the equation of the perpendicular bisector of KM.
    4. Where do the perpendicular bisectors of KI and IM intersect? (hint: solve a system of equations. Use the equations from problems 1 and 2)

    Given triangle ABC with coordinates A (4, -2) B (8, -4) and C (12, 3):

    1. Write the equation of the perpendicular bisector of side AB. (hint: remember, to write the equation of any line, you MUST have two things....what are the 2 things? Yes, the slope of the line and a point ON the line!) (Hint #2: what do you know about the slopes of perpendicular lines?) (hint #3: what does the word "bisect" mean?)
    2. Write the equation of the perpendicular bisector of side AC.
    3. Write the equation of the perpendicular bisector of BC.
    4. Where do the perpendicular bisectors of AB and AC intersect? (hint: solve a system of equations. Use the equations from problems 1 and 2)

    I suggest that you have a Barnes & Noble day sometime this weekend with some friends and get a study group going. 4 heads working together is better than 1!

    Have a PG-13 weekend!
