Understandings

Geometry is an axiomatic system using defined and undefined terms which work

together to form fundamental geometric relationships.

 

The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem.

 

Constructions are used to investigate and verify geometric relationships. Conjectures are used to make predictions about geometric relationships.

 

Common properties among various linear relationships exist and can be validated

or proven algebraically, transformationally, and through constructions.

 

Conjectures can be written using patterns in a sequence.

 

Angle pairs are formed when parallel lines are cut by transversals.

 

The special angle pairs formed by parallel lines and a transversal are either congruent or supplementary.

 

Constructions validate conjectures about relationships in triangles and support understanding of conditions required to prove triangle congruence.

 

Perpendicular lines verify triangle congruence by the Hypotenuse-Leg Congruence Theorem.

 

Two triangles can be proven to be congruent without having to show that all corresponding sides and angles are congruent.

 

Constructions of triangle segments generate points of concurrency that serve as

centers of the triangle, each important for various purposes.

 

Properties of points of concurrency can be verified by

the construction of special segments with a straightedge and the folding of a triangle.

 

Constructions can be used to verify conjectures about

triangle relationships.

 

Any point on the perpendicular bisector of a segment can be proven to be equidistant from each of the segment's endpoints.

Special side and angle relationships that are characteristic of similar figures can be used to determine unknown measurements between similar figures and prove their similarity.

 

Similar triangles can be identified and verified if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle.

 

Proportional changes in a figure refers to changing each

dimension by a scale factor. Non-proportional changes in a figure refers to changing

the dimensions of the figure by different scale factors.

 

Right triangles hold special properties that can be used to solve real-world

problems.

 

Trigonometric ratios are used to find missing measures

of sides.

 

Angle measures can be found using inverse

trigonometric ratios.

Understandings

Side and angle relationships exist among special cases of quadrilaterals that

can be used to determine unknown measurements and verified by using the distance, midpoint, and/or slope

formulas.

 

Patterns can be used to make conjectures about the

sum of the interior and exterior angles of a polygon.

 

Patterns can be used to make conjectures about the criteria (sides, angles, and diagonals) required for special quadrilaterals.

 

Generating, describing, and differentiating between various rigid and non-rigid

transformations can be helpful in understanding real-world applications and making connections to higher level

mathematics.

 

The ratio of the perimeter of similar figures is equal to

the ratio of the sides of the same similar figures.

Proportional changes in a figure refers to changing

each dimension by a scale factor.

 

Two similar polygons have areas that are proportional

to the square of the scale factor.

 

Connections between algebra and geometry can be made through angle and

segment relationships unique to circles.

 

The distance, slope, and midpoint formulas are used to verify segment and angle relationships in circles.

 

A quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle if its opposite

angles are supplementary.

 

A polygon is inscribed in a circle if all of its sides are

chords in the circle.

 

A polygon is circumscribed about a circle if all the sides

are tangent to the circle.

 

A central angle has the same degree measure as its intercepted arc.

Area of a geometric object depends on the measures of its two dimensional

shape.

 

Two similar polygons have areas that are proportional to the square of the scale factor.

 

The area formula for a parallelogram is derived

using the area formula for a rectangle.

 

The area formula for a rhombus can be derived

using multiple methods.

 

Surface area and volume of a geometric object depends on the measures of its

three-dimensional shape.

 

Area of a composite figure is determined by the sum of

the areas of the simple shapes.

 

Composite area can be used to derive surface area

formulas.

 

vVolume of a composite figure is the sum of the volumes of the combined figures.

 

 

Probability can be understood and used in geometric contexts as well as everyday life.

 

Theoretical probability is the probability based on reasoning, whereas experimental probability is based on performing an experiment.

 

Two events are independent when the probability of

one event does not affect the probability of the other

event from occurring.

 

Two events are dependent when the probability of one

event does affect the probability of the other event

from occurring.
