Parallelogram

Parallelogram- a four sided figure with opposite sides parallel and equal in length.


Note: Arrow means that the lines are parallel. ( one arrow is not same as two arrow)
[-] means that the lines are equal. ( one [-] is not equal with [=] )

Base- a side of a dimentional figure
- common symbol is "b"

Height- the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side
- common symbol is "h"



There are other kinds of parallelogram:
First is "rectangle"
















Second is "square"

















"Area of a Parallelogram"

Formula:
base x height= area
b x h= area

For example:
Joey cut a shape of a parallelogram. The base is 6 cm and the height is 4 cm. What is the area of Joey's parallelogram?
Answer: The area of Joey's parallelogram is 24cm2.





Here is a website to help your learn more about parallelogram and how to find its area.

Here's a video to help you more:




I hope all this information help you understand more :) !

Angle Bisectors



Angle Bisectors-Cuts an angle in half
Small circles are used to show angles are equal.




There are 3 methods to make an angle bisector.
Method 1-use a compass
1-Sharp point on the vertex
2-make an arc that intersects both rays of the angle ,label those intersections
3-from the two new intersections make two more arcs
4-with a ruler draw a line from the arc intersection to the vertex
5-that line in your angle bisector
IF you followed the instructions you should have the picture on the top right.

Method 2-use a protractor
1-measure the angle measurement by 2
2-divide the angle measurement by 2
3-mark the halfway point using the protractor
4-use a ruler to connect the halfway point to the vertex
5-that is your angle bisector

Method 3-Paper Folding
1-fold one ray directly onto the other ray
2-the crease is the angle bisector
--------------------------------------------------------------
Acute angle is less that 90°
Obtuse angle is more than 90° but less that 180°

Mr. Isfeld told us to make our own B.E.D.M.A.S. question using the numbers 1-9 and all the operations in B.E.D.M.A.S. The answer also has to be 7.

Here is my question.

(8÷2)+5-7x3÷7+9-8+4-1 raised to the exponent 5-2=

6+5-7x3÷7+9-8+4+1 raised to the exponent 5-2=

6+5-7x3÷7+9-8+4-5-2=

6+5-21÷7+9-8+4-5-2=

6+5-7+9-8+4-5-2=

11-7+9-8+4-5-2=

4+9-8+4-5-2=

13-8+4-5-2=

5+4-5-2=

9-5-5-2=

4+5-2=

9-2=

7=

Nov. 22 Notes Perpendicular Bisector

Bisect
Bi - two
Sect- cut

If you bisect a line segment you will create a perpendicular bisector

There are three (3) ways to construct a perpendicular bisector. Here are the following ways:

1st way: Using a compass

1. Draw a line segment





2.Sharp end of compass or point A









3.Make an are slightly larger than half the length of the line segment.

4. repeat the process from point B w/ the same sized

5. With a ruler join the two arc intersection with a straight line .

Here's a video and a picture of a finished perpendicular bisector:



2nd way: Using a right triangle

1. Draw a line segment

2. measure it with a ruler

3. divide the measurement by the half way point

4. use a right triangle to create a perpendicular line at the half way point.

This is how it works:








3rd way: Folding paper

1. line segment AB

2. fold the paper so point A falls right on top of point B

3. to crease is a perpendicular bisector

Solution on: Make our own problem on B.E.D.M.A.S



This is the problem I did and the solution too.
That has B.E.D.M.A,S, 1-9 number on it and which is equal to 7.

BEDMAS Problem

Create a BEDMAS Problem using every numbers 1-9 with Brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition and subtraction. They must equal 7.

I hope it helps you.

Here is my expression (:



Hope you understood how I did it (:

B.E.D.M.A.S.S Question

Mr.Isfeld gave us an assignment where we had to create a bedmass question that has the numbers 1-9, that has division, multiplication, subtraction and addition that equals 7. It took me awhile to get the answer but here it is!

My question is:
(8 ÷2)x9 ÷4+(7-6)-5+3-1

Note:Division and Multiplication goes left to right and if you see the first number you divide it and after that you multiply it.


Example:

BEDMAS:

B-Brackets

D-Division
M-Multiplication
A-Addition

Division,Multiplication,Addition and Subtraction has to be in order from left to right.


1. Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7+6/2. She claims the answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.

I don't agree because she used addition before multiplying. If we do the order of operation Multiplication should go first before Addition.

2. Put Brackets in the following expression to get the Largest value possible.What problem solving strategy did you see?
3*2.8+6.4/4

(3x2.8)+6.4/4=
8.4+6.4/4=
8.4+1.6=

3. Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression. 2.5 + 1.25 + 5 x 1.6.

2.5+1.25+5x1.6=
3.75+(5x1.6)=
3.75+8=

( PROBLEM )


1.) Annie had been ask to calculate 1.7+6/2.She claims the answer is 3.85.Do you agree?Explain why or why not?

I do not agree because she use addition first before Multiply.If we use the order of operation Multiplication must be first to Addition.


2.) Put Brackets in the following expression to get the Largest value possible.What problem solving strategy did you see?
3*2.8+6.4/4

Division and multiplication, addition and subtarction are in order left to right.
Example:
1+2x3/2=
1+6/2=
1+3=
4=

Remember to follow the BEDMAS. "Step by step"


Problem and solution:

1.)Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7+6/2. She claims the answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not?

Annie is wrong because she added the numbers first then she divide it. She didn't follow the BEDMAS. The right answer is 4.7, here's how I got it.

1.7+6/2=
1.7+3=
4.7=

2.)Put a brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible. What Problem solving strategy did you use?

I used multiplication and division.

Multiplication:

(3x2.8)+6.4/4=
8.4+6.4/4=
8.4+1.6=
10=

Division:

3x2.8+(6.4/4)=
3x2.8+1.6=
8.4+1.6=
10=


3.)Create a problem that could be solve using the following expression. 2.5+1.25+5x1.6

Clarice has $15.00. She went to SevenEleven and bought 5 medium Slurpee for her friends. Each Slurpee cost $1.60. She bought 2 large bag of chips which is cost 2.50. She wanted to buy donut, the donut cost 1.25. Does she have enough money to buy them all?

Yes, Clarice has enough to buy them all. Here's how I solve it.

2.5+1.25+5x1.6=
2.5+1.25+8=
3.75+8=
11.75=

  1. Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7+6/2. She claims the answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.
I don't agree with her answer because she added first before multiplying. But if we follow order of operation, multiplication should be done first before addition.

2. Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible. What problem solving strategy did you use? 3*2.8+6.4/4


3. Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression. 2.5+1.25+5*1.6

Questions:

1.Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 ÷ 2. She claims that the answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.

8.4 + 1.6 =

10 =
