Study Notes
Polygons
- Regular polygons have equal side lengths and angles; irregular polygons do not.
- Pentagons have 5 sides; hexagons have 6 sides; octagons have 8 sides; decagons have 10 sides.
- Use a ruler to measure and draw sides accurately; a protractor helps in measuring angles.
- A regular pentagon has internal angles of 108°; a regular hexagon has 120° angles.
Drawing Shapes
- Triangles can be drawn using specified angle measures; angle sum property states that the sum is always 180°.
- Quadrilaterals should also be drawn with given angles ensuring that their total is 360°.
- Regular polygons like pentagons, hexagons, octagons, or decagons can be constructed when angle measures are specified.
Angle Relationships
- Complementary angles sum to 90°; supplementary angles sum to 180°.
- Vertical angles are equal when two lines intersect.
- Adjacent angles share a common side and vertex but do not overlap.
Polygon Classification
- Polygons are classified by the number of sides: triangles (3), quadrilaterals (4), pentagons (5), hexagons (6), octagons (8), decagons (10).
- Regular polygons have equal sides and angles; irregular polygons have differing sides/angles.
- Convex polygons bulge outward while non-convex (or concave) polygons cave inward.
Angle Relationships in Polygons
- The exterior angle plus its adjacent interior angle equals 180°.
- The sum of all exterior angles of a polygon is always 360°.
Angle and Side Measurement
- The measures of interior angles can be derived using the formula (n-2) * 180°, where n is the number of sides.
- Determining the number of sides can also be based on known angles, especially in regular polygons.
Percentage Problems
- Percentage increase is calculated as: (new value - original value) / original value × 100%.
- Percentage decrease = (original value - new value) / original value × 100%.
Financial Problems with Percentages
- Discounts reduce the original price; calculate by: discount = original price × discount rate.
- Commission is typically a percentage of sales; sales tax added to price is based on the tax rate.
- Simple interest is calculated using the formula: I = P × r × t, where I is interest, P is principal, r is rate, and t is time.
Financial Planning
- A financial plan outlines income, expenses, savings goals, and budgeting strategies.
Understanding Rates
- Rates represent a ratio, often seen in physics (e.g., speed = distance/time).
- Knowing how to compute and interpret rates is vital for real-world applications.
Rates and Problem Solving
- Solve problems involving speed: speed = distance/time can be rearranged to find distance or time if the other two variables are known.
Rational Numbers
- Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions, decimals, or percentages.
- Ordering rational numbers involves placing them on a number line according to their values.
- Operations on rational numbers include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Summary of Rational Numbers
- Operations must account for common denominators for addition/subtraction.
- Multiplying and dividing rational numbers simplifies by multiplying numerators and denominators directly.
Polygons
- Regular Polygons: All sides and angles are equal. Examples include pentagons (5 sides), hexagons (6 sides), octagons (8 sides), and decagons (10 sides).
- Irregular Polygons: Sides and angles differ. They can be formed by varying measurements while maintaining a specific number of sides.
Drawing Polygons
- Utilize a ruler to measure equal lengths for sides in regular polygons.
- Use a protractor to measure and draw angles for both regular and irregular polygons.
Angle Relationships
- Recognize that the sum of interior angles in a polygon can determine angle measures.
- Adjacent angles may form linear pairs; their measures add up to 180 degrees.
Polygon Classification
- Classify polygons based on:
- Number of sides (e.g., triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon).
- Regular (equal sides/angles) or irregular.
- Convex (all interior angles less than 180°) vs. non-convex (at least one interior angle greater than 180°).
Exterior and Interior Angles
- The exterior angle and its adjacent interior angle sum up to 180 degrees.
- Each exterior angle is supplementary to the interior angle at that vertex.
Angle Measures and Sides
- The measure of each interior angle in regular polygons can be calculated using the formula:
[\text{Interior Angle} = \frac{(n-2) \times 180}{n}]
where (n) is the number of sides. - The relationship between sides and angles is crucial for identifying and verifying the types of polygons.
Percentage Problems
-
Percentage Increase: Calculate by determining the increase over the original value, expressed as a percentage.
[\text{Percentage Increase} = \frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Original}} \times 100] -
Percentage Decrease: Determine through the decrease over the original value, expressed similarly.
[\text{Percentage Decrease} = \frac{\text{Decrease}}{\text{Original}} \times 100]
Money and Percentages
- Understand applications of percentages in financial contexts, such as discounts and sales tax.
- Simple interest calculations can be derived from the formula:
[\text{Simple Interest} = \text{Principal} \times \text{Rate} \times \text{Time}]
Financial Planning
- Create a financial plan by setting budgets, estimating expenses, and analyzing income.
- Include strategies for managing savings and investments.
Uses of Rates
- Rates express a quantity in relation to another quantity, commonly used in finance and speed.
- Calculate rates in scenarios involving distance, time, and cost.
Solving Rate Problems
- Example of speed: calculate using the formula:
[\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}]
Rational Numbers
- Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions, decimals, or percentages.
- Order rational numbers accurately on a number line by evaluating their values.
Operations on Rational Numbers
- Perform basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) using common denominators and converting between forms as necessary.
