Geo Hon Final Exam Review PDF

Geometry for Dummies

create a geometry for dummies book
for each chapter of your book, you must select at LEAST 3 problems to explain. Each explanation/solution should be done in great DETAIL so that someone who has never seen geometry could pick up your book, read it, and understand how to do the problem. Since there wil be 12 chapters in the book, you should have AT LEAST 36 problems explained in your book. Use the problems from my FINAL EXAM review. Remember, the operative phrase here is "AT LEAST". Of course, the more problems you explain, the better.
this book is OPTIONAL meaning that if you do it, I will grade it out of 100 points.
If you don't do it, it won't hurt you, but it won't help you either
chapter 1: nth term
chapter 2: definitions
chapter 3: constructions
chapter 4: angle relationships
chapter 5: congruency btwn triangles
chapter 6: quadrilaterals
chapter 7: circles
chapter 8: area
chapter 9: right triangles
chapter 10: volume
chapter 11: similarity
chapter 12: trigonometry

Investigation on Area of a Circle

With your compass, make a circle with a radius of approximately 3 inches.
Cut out your circle with a pair of scissors.
Fold the circle in half.
Fold it in half again.
Fold it in half a third time.
Fold it in half a fourth time.
Unfold your circle.
Cut out your 16 wedges.
Rearrange your wedges in a row, alternating the tips up and down to form a parallelogram.
Paste or tape your 16 wedges as a parallelogram onto a piece of paper to bring into class tomorrow.
Do NOT show up with your 16 wedges in a baggie.
I want them taped or glued to another piece of paper.
Below it, i want you to answer the following:
Is the area of your original circle the same as the area of your new parallelogram?
DERIVE the area of a circle from the area of a parallelogram.

Parent Letter

Dear Parent,

Please be advised that your child may have lost the free 50 points I gave him/her on the first day of school. The loss of the free 50 points was due to his/her NOT completing this weekend's homework assignment. (S)he will have an opportunity to earn 12.5 points per week over the next 4 weeks by just attempting the homework everyday. If (s)he misses one day of homework, (s)he forfeits the 12.5 bonus points for that week. Please help me help your child in succeeding in mathematics by making sure (s)he completes his/her homework. Your coopeartion would gratly be appreciated. Please print this letter as well as a copy of your child's grades from Pinnacle thus far and sign both. I willbe collecting both for credit tomorrow.

Yours in Mathematics,

Ms. Chan

Construction Practice

Know how to:

locate the circumcenter of a triangle (acute, obtuse, and right)
circumscribe a circle about a triangle (acute, obtuse, and right)
locate the incenter of a triangle (acute, obtuse, and right)
inscribe a circle in a triangle (acute, obtuse, and right)
of course, you should know your BASIC constructions like how to duplicate a line segment, duplicate an angle, construct a perpendicular bisector of a segment, angle bisector, equilateral triangle, perpendicular through a point ON or OFF the line, parallel lines using the rhombus method and equidistant method!

KNOW your definitions for a median of a triangle and an altitude of a triangle. If you want to get a head start on Monday's constructions, we will constructing the 3 altitudes and 3 medians of triangles.

draw a medium sized acute triangle in the middle of your paper. label it LUV. construct the perpendicular bisector of LU, UV, and LV. highlight all 3 perpendicular bisectors. they should ALL intersect at ONE point!
on the back side of your paper, draw a medium sized triangle in the top half of your paper. label it MTH. construct the angle bisectors of angles M, T, and H. on the bottom half, construct a perpendicular through a point NOT on the line. highlight all 3 angle bisectors! they should all intersect at ONE point!
make sure you complete these 3 constructions and do so ACCURATELY!!! that means nice, crisp, clean arcs. no smudges. make sure your pencils are sharpened. make sure when you swing the arcs that your compass doesn't move.

Constructing Perpendiculars & Different Types of Angles

(For those of you who have been absent or need extra help, go to hstutorials.net (thanks, Taylor from last semester) click on Geometric Constructions to view video explanations). Or more information can be found in your book. See PH #3.7 for examples of how to do construct perpendiculars.

1. On the top half of your paper, construct a perpendicular line through a point NOT on the line.
2. On the bottom half of your paper, construct a perpendicular through a point ON the line.
3. On the top half of the back side, draw a segment. Label it AB. Now construct perpendicular bisectors to divide it into 4 congruent parts.
4. On the bottom half of the back side, draw a line segment so close to the edge of the paper that you can only swing arcs on one side of the segment. Now construct the perpendicular bisector of the segment.
5. On the top half of a second sheet of paper, construct a 60 degree angle.
6. On the bottom half of the second sheet of paper, construct a 45 degree angle. Using the 45 degree angle you just constructed, construct a 22 1/2 (twenty-two and a half) degree angle.
8. On the top half of the back side of the second sheet of paper, construct a 30 degree angle. Using the 30 degree angle you just constructed, construct a 15 degree angle.
9. On the bottom half of the back side of the second sheet of paper, construct a 120 degree angle.
10. On the top half of the 3rd sheet of paper, construct a 75 degree angle.
11. On the bottom half of the 3rd sheet of paper, construct a 52 1/2 degree (fifty-two and a half) angle.

13. On the bottom half of the back side of the 3rd sheet of paper, construct a 105 degree angle.

Tomorrow's constructions are going to be a bit confusing. To make them easier, bring in computer paper and colored pencils for tomorrow's constructions. Of course, these are just suggestions and not mandatory. I'm just trying to make it easier for you.
