Test Ch. 0 Flashcards
Area of triangle
Area of rectangle or square
length * width
perimeter of square, rectangle, triangle
add all sides
Find the perimeter and area of a figure when given points A (x,y) B (x,y)
1) Draw points and figure out what shape it is
2) Find the distance between A-B and B-C, A-C, etc.
3) Use formula for area
4) add all sides to find perimeter
Find distance of a straight line
subtract, answer always positive
horizontal line: subtract x2-x1
Vertical line : y2-y1
Find distance of a diagonal
Distance formula
Distance formula
Find the center of a circle (h, k) using endpoints
Find the midpoint
Equation of a circle in standard form
When adding or subtracting fractions
Find the common denominator on all sides. Figure out one side first, then the other
side 1 = side 2
Find a general form of an equation passing through (a,b) and (b,c)
1) find the slope
2) write in point-slope or slope-intercept form
3) Solve
4) arrange in form ax + by+ c = 0
Slope formula
Rise/run
point-slope form
Slope-intercept form
y= mx + b
Parallel lines
same slope
Perpendicular lines
opposite inverse slope
Complete the square steps
1) Start with a quadratic equation
2) Move C to the right side
3) Add (b/2)^2 to both sides
4) Factor the left side (left = right)
hint: It will always be (x+/- (b/2)^2
5) Solve the right side
6) Take the square root of both sides
7) Solve for x
