Study Notes
Mensuration
- Basic shapes: Focus on area and perimeter calculations for squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, and composite figures.
- Squares: Area = side × side; Perimeter = 4 × side.
- Rectangles: Area = length × width; Perimeter = 2 × (length + width).
- Triangles: Area = 1/2 × base × height.
- Circles: Area = π × radius²; Circumference = 2 × π × radius.
- Composite figures: Break down into simpler shapes, calculate areas, and add/subtract to find the total area.
- Units of area: Be familiar with square units (cm², m², etc.).
- Volume: Focus on calculating volume for cubes, cuboids, and cylinders.
- Cubes: Volume = side × side × side.
- Cuboids: Volume = length × width × height.
- Cylinders: Volume = π × radius² × height.
- Units of volume: Be familiar with cubic units (cm³, m³, etc.).
- Surface area: Calculating the total area of the outside surfaces of a 3D shape.
- Surface area of cuboids: 2(lw + lh + wh).
- Surface area of cubes: 6s².
- Surface area of cylinders: 2πr² + 2πrh.
Exponents and Powers
- Basic definitions: Understand what exponents and powers represent.
- Exponent: A small number placed above and to the right of a base number.
- Base: The number that is being raised to a power.
- Power: A mathematical expression that includes a base and exponent (e.g., 23).
-
Rules of exponents:
- Product rule: am × an = am+n
- Quotient rule: am / an = am-n
- Power of a power rule: (am)n = amn
- Power of a product rule: (ab)n = anbn
- Power of a quotient rule: (a/b)n = an/bn
- Zero exponent rule: a0 = 1 (a ≠ 0)
- Negative exponent rule: a-n = 1/an (a ≠ 0)
-
Examples:
- 23 = 8
- 52 = 25
- 104 = 10,000
- 3-2 = 1/9
- Scientific notation: Expressing very large or very small numbers in a compact form (e.g., 3.14 × 10-3).
- Applications: Real-world examples in physics, engineering, and other fields.
- Simplifying expressions with exponents: Practice applying the rules of exponents to simplify complex expressions.
- Evaluating expressions with exponents: Finding the value of an expression containing exponents after simplifying.
- Order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): Apply these rules correctly when evaluating combined expressions with exponents.
