36
What happens when you draw a diagonal in a parallelogram?
You bisect the area and if you have two lines they bisect each other
37
Def: Paraelleogram
Closed quadrilateral with two sets of parallel lines. Rectangles, squares, rhombus.
38
Volume of a rectangular solid?
V = (l)(w)(h)
39
Surface area of a rectangular solid?
SA = 2( lw + lh + wh) (the faces)
40
Volume of a cylinder?
Base x height. = (pie)(r^2)(h)
41
Surface area if a cylinder?
``` SA = (faces)(lateral surface area) SA = ((2)(pie)(r^2)) + ((2)(pie)(r)(H)) ```
42
What is the lateral surface area?
Surface area of the cylinder height only. Does not include the faces. LSA=(circumference)(height)
43
Area of a Parallelogram?
Area = (b)(h)
44
Interior angles of a parallelogram add to?
360 degrees
45
How many sides does a polygon with 360 degree angles have?
4 sides
46
Area of a trapezoid?
Area=(1/2)(b1 +b2)(h)
47
How many sides are parallel in a trapezoid?
At least one set. If it's two sets of parallel lines it's a parallelogram.
48
Are all trapezoids parallelograms?
No
49
Are all parallelograms trapezoids?
Yes
50
Describe the height of a triangle
Distance from base to opposing apex. Must be perpendicular to base. Any side can be a base.
51
A 45:45:90 triangle is 1/2 a what?
Square
52
When an altitude is drawn from the unequal side of an isosceles triangle is does what?
Bisects the base and the angle.
53
What does congruent mean?
Equal
54
Every equilateral triangle is also what type of triangle?
An Isosceles triangle. All isosceles triangles are not equilateral triangles.
55
What does the height of an equilateral triangle always equal?
(Sq root 3)(x)/(2)where x is the side of the triangle.
56
What is a chord?
A line connecting two points in a circle that doesn't necessarily go through the center of the circle.
57
Describe a diameter in terms of a chord.
A chord that goes through the center of a circle.
58
What is a central angle?
An angle that starts in the center if a circle.
59
What is an inscribed angle in a circle?
It's inside the circle and it starts from the circumference as opposed to a central angle that starts in the center of a circle.
60
If multiple inscribed angles in a circle share the same arc describe the angles.
They are all equal to one another if they share the same arc and they are all inscribed.
61
Describe the relationship of a central angle and an inscribed angle share the same arc.
The central angle is twice the inscribed angle. The inscribed angle is half the central angle.
62
