7.1 Writing Linear Equations Review

Write linear equations using tables of data, ordered pairs, and linear graphs.

Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form using the following data.

Find the slope (m) of the line.

m = riserun = y2−y1

x2−x1= 1.5−1

3−2 = 0.51 = 0.5 = 1

2

Note: any two ordered pairs from a straight line can be used to find the slope; the answer will always be thesame.

Substitute an ordered pair (x, y) from the table of values and slope (m) into the equation y = mx+ b to find they-intercept (b).

1 =12(2)+b

1 = 1+b

0 = b

Note: any ordered pair from the straight line can be used to find the y-intercept; the answer will always be thesame.

Write the equation in slope-intercept form by plugging in the values for m ( 12 or 0.5) and b (0) into the slope-intercept

equation y = mx+b.

y = 12 x+0 or y = 1

Write an equation in slope-intercept form using the following data.

Find the slope (m) of the line by choosing two points on the line to substitute into the slope formula. In this case,we’re using points (-2, 4) and (1, -5).

m = riserun = y2−y1

x2−x1= −5−4

1−(−2) =−93 = −3

1 =−3

Note: any two ordered pairs from a straight line can be used to find the slope; the answer will always be thesame.

Substitute an ordered pair (x, y) on the straight line and slope (m) into the equation y = mx+b to find the y-intercept(b).

4 =−3(−2)+b

4 = 6+b

−2 = b

Note: any ordered pair from the straight line can be used to find the y-intercept; the answer will always be thesame.

Write the equation in slope-intercept form by plugging in the values for m (-3) and b (-2) into the slope-interceptequation y = mx+b.

y =−3x−2

• Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx+b

– m = slope (the ratio of rise over run or rate of change of a nonvertical line)– b = y-intercept

• The slope of a line is the same no matter which two points you choose to use in the slope equation.

7.2. Scatter Plots www.ck12.org

7.2 Scatter Plots

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to define and give an example of the following vocabulary words:

• Scatter Plot - a visual representation of the relationship between variables. In a scatter plot, each pointrepresents a paired measurement of two variables for a specific subject, and each subject is represented by onepoint on the scatter plot.

• Positive, Negative, or No Relationship Correlation - measures the relationship between bivariate data. Bi-variate data are data sets in which each subject has two observations associated with it.

– Positive Correlation - the values increase together. The data points have a positive linear association.

– Negative Correlation - when one value decreases, the other value increases. The data points have anegative linear association.

• – No Correlation - there is no relationship between the two values. The data points are nonlinear (do notfall along a line).

16

http://www.ck12.org


• Degree of Relationship - the degree to which bivariate data show a tendency to vary together.

– Strong - the points are close to one another. There is a strong linear association between the data points.

• – Weak - the points are further from each other, but still correlate. There is a weak linear associationbetween the data points.

• – Perfect - the points fall on a straight line. There is a perfect linear association between the data points.

• Outliers - Data points that don’t seem to fit with the rest of the data.

• Clustering - A group of points that fall in the same general area of the graph.

• Linear Associations - Data sets that are arranged in or extending along a straight or nearly straight line. Note:Nonlinear Associations are data sets that are arranged in or extending along a curved line.

17

http://www.ck12.org


Make a scatter plot of the data. What conclusions can you make?

TABLE 7.1: A table of verbal SAT values and GPAs for seven students.

Student SAT Score GPA1 595 3.42 520 3.23 715 3.94 405 2.35 680 3.96 490 2.57 565 3.5

Plot the points from the table on a graph. In this case, SAT Score represents the x - axis and GPA is the y-axis, soplot (595, 3.4), (520, 3.2), etc... on the graph.

Examining a scatter plot graph allows us to obtain some idea about the relationship between two variables.

The data goes from the lower-left-to-upper-right, which is a positive pattern. This means that both valuesincrease together.

The data points are also close to one another and more-or-less in a straight line, so the correlation is strongbetween the variables.

So, the graph represents a strong, positive linear relationship between verbal SAT scores and GPA. Note: Theredoesn’t appear to be any outliers. There is a cluster of two points around 700.

From this chart, you can conclude that if a student has a high GPA, then they will probably score high on theverbal SAT and vice versa.

7.3 Model Linear Equations with Scatter Plotsand Lines of Best Fit

Informally find the line of best fit. Write the equation of a linear model (slope-intercept form) using two points fromthe line of best fit and assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to define and give an example of the following vocabulary word(s):

• Line of Best Fit / Trend Line - A straight line that best represents the data on a scatter plot and can be helpfulwhen making predictions based on the data. It can also determine the degree of linear relationship to the databy judging the closeness of the data ponts to the line. This line may pass through some of the points, none ofthe points, or all of the points.

• Outliers - Data points that don’t seem to fit with the rest of the data. When placing line of best fit, ignore theoutliers.

29

7.3. Model Linear Equations with Scatter Plots and Lines of Best Fit www.ck12.org

In reality, the relationship between dependent and independent variables can be linear, but not perfectly so (becausereality isn’t perfect). This means there are usually data points that don’t quite fit on a straight line, but we can stillassess the model using trend lines and line of best fit.

Make a scatter plot using the following data set. Draw a line of best fit, then use two points on the line to findthe equation of the line. Assess the accuracy linear model.

(0, 2); (1, 4.5); (2, 9); (3, 11); (4, 13); (5, 18); (6, 19.5)

Notice that the points look like they might be part of a straight line, although they wouldn’t fit perfectly on a straightline. When the points aren’t lined up perfectly, we just have to find a line that is as close to all the points as possible.

Here you can see that we could draw many lines through the points in our data set. However, the red line A is theline that best fits the points. You want to draw a line that has the least (sum of) distances between the data points andthe line of best fit.

30

http://www.ck12.org


Choose two data points that are on or very close to the line of best fit to find the slope of the line. Note: Do notchoose any two points from the data set. You must choose points along the line of best fit. In this case, let’s usepoints (3, 11) and (5, 18).

m = y2−y1x2−x1

m = 18−115−3 = 7

2

Substitute one of the order pairs into the formula to find the y-intercept (b). Let’s use point (3, 11).

11 = 72(3)+b

11 = 212 +b

11( 221) = b

2221 = b

Plug the slope and y-intercept into the equation of the line formula (slope-intercept form).

y = mx+b

y = 72 x+ 22

21

The data points are fairly close to the line of best fit, so you can use this linear equation to make fairly accuratepredictions based on the data.

• If the data set is close to the line, then there is a strong relationship between the variables. This means you canmore accurately assess the model and estimate other data points.

• If the data set is farther from the line of best fit, then there is a weaker relationship between the variables. Thismeans your model assessments will not be as accurate and you’ll have a more difficult time estimating otherdata points.

b. It looks like Patti’s line fits the data well, it would probably produce good predictions. The line goes throughthe middle of the points in the scatter plot, and the points are fairly close to the line.

c. It looks like Martha’s line overestimates the bite force because almost all of the points are below the line.

d. It looks like Taylor’s line tends to underestimate the bite force. There are many points above the line.

5. a & b.

c. y = 2x+28

d. Variable Accuracy since there are some points that are not very close to the line of best fit.

Bobcat Review

1. Scatter plot 3, because it is the only one where the y-values are decreasing as the value of x increases.

2. Variable answers - There appears to be a negative linear relationship between the number of hours per weeka student plays video games and the number of hours per night the student sleeps. As video game time increase,number of hours of sleep tends to decrease. There is one observation that might be considered an outlier - the pointcorresponding to a student who plays video games 32 hours per week. Other than the outlier, there are two clusters- one corresponding to students who spend very little time playing video games and a second corresponding tostudents who play video games between about 10 and 25 hours per week.

7.4. Linear Models of Bivariate Data www.ck12.org

7.4 Linear Models of Bivariate Data

Model linear equations of bivariate data, then interpret the slope and intercept and use the model to make predictions.

The following data represents data collected from a child’s reading contest at school. The x-values representthe number of days of the contest and the y-values represent # of books read.

(0, 2); (1, 5); (2, 9); (3, 11); (4, 13); (5, 18); (6, 19.5)

a. Make a scatter plot of the following ordered pairs and draw a line of best fit.

b. Find the equation of the line and explain what the slope and y-intercept mean given the context ofthe situation.

c. Use the equation to predict how many books were read on day 7. Assess the accuracy of theprediction.

a. Plot the points on a scatter plot and draw a line of best fit.

40

http://www.ck12.org


b. Once you draw the line of best fit, you can find its equation by using two points on the line (Note: you must usetwo points on the line of best fit, which is usually not 2 points from the data set).

In this example, it happens that two of the data points are very close to the line of best fit, so we can just usethese points to find the equation of the line: (1, 5) and (3, 11).

Start with the slope-intercept form of a line: y = mx+b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

Find the slope, where m = y2−y1x2−x1

.

m = 11−53−1 = 6

2 = 3.

So y = 3x+b.

Plug (3, 11) into the equation: 11 = 3(3)+b⇒ b = 2

So the equation for the line that fits the data best is y = 3x+2. This means that the student started the contest(day 0) having read 2 books (b = 2) and then read 3 books per day during the contest (m = 3).

Note: Sometimes predictive linear models have y-intercepts that do not make sense given the context of the situation.In this case, the y-intercept should be 0 as on day 0 of the reading contest, 0 books have been read. Two does notmake sense in this linear model.

c. Use the given linear equation to determine how many total books were read by day 7. Substitute 7 for x and solvefor y.

y = 3(7)+2

y = 21+2

y = 23

This linear model predicts that the student will have read 24 books by day 7, which is represented by plotpoint (7, 24) on the scatter plot. It should be a fairly accurate prediction since the data points are pretty closeto the line of best fit.

• Caution: Make sure you don’t get caught making a common mistake. Sometimes the line of best fit won’tpass straight through any of the points in the original data set. This means that you can’t just use two pointsfrom the data set - you need to use two points that are on (or very close to) the line, which might not be inthe data set at all.

• Sometimes predictive linear models have y-intercepts that do not make sense given the context of the situation.

1. a. The predicted variable goes on the vertical axis and the predictor on the horizontal axis. So, the amount ofwater goes on the y-axis and the length (minutes) goes on the x-axis. The plot on the graph on the right should beused.

b. y = 1566.7x+1350

c. The slope in the linear model is 1566.7, which means that 1566.7 gallons of water erupts every 1 minute. Thisis different than the claim made by the blog site (3,000 gallons per minute). The blog site must be thinking of adifferent geyser.

d. No, because the length of an eruption is 0, then it cannot produce 1350 gallons of water. Some predictive linearmodels will have y-intercepts that do not make sense within the context of a problem.

2. a. Life expectancy and year of birth appear to be linearly related.

b. Variable answers: y = 0.34x−597.4 (for line through (2001, 77.9) and (2009, 80.6)).

y = 0.34x−77.4 (for line through (1, 77.9) and (9, 80.6)).

c. The intercept says that babies born in NYC in Year 0 should expect to live around -597 year. This isobviously ridiculous, so interpreting the intercept is meaningless in this problem. As for slope, life expectancyincreases 0.34 years per 1 year, which is a little over four months. This makes sense.

d. Variable answers: 80.9 years, which is also the value given on the website. Needless to say, this is a prettyaccurate linear model.

3. a. If the number of rebounds increases by one, then the model predicts the number of points increases by 3.833.

b. Each additional block corresponds to 22.45 more points, the largest slope or rate of increase.

c. Probably number of blocks because the association is weaker. There is more scatter of the points away fromthe line.

d. 1474

4. a.

b. about 89cm

c & d. y= 0.767x+(−1.02)The slope tells us that the bounce height increased 0.767 cm per cm of ball height. They-intercept tells us that when the ball is bounced at 0 height, then it bounces -1.02 cm, which doesn’t make sense. Asthe ball should bounce at 0cm (0,0). Remember you’re working with a line of best fit, which is an approximation.

5. a. Good Luck!

b. $79,140.20

c. The slope tells us that income increases $1708.80 per year. The y-intercept tells us that at year 0, income was-3,355,547.80, which isn’t a very helpful data point when answering the current question.

d. Yes

6. a. The slope 112 or 5.5 means that the bean stalk grows 5.5 feet every week.

b. The y-intercept means the bean stalk was 52 or 2.5 feet tall when it was planted. This makes sense given the

bean stalk grows very tall.

c. 24511 or 22.27 weeks. 125 = 11

1. a.

Circumference and diameter are linearly related because the data points fall along a line.

b. y = 3.14 x or (C = 3.14 d, where C = circumference and d = diameter)

c. If the diameter of a circle is 0, then according to the equation, its circumference is 0. That is true, so interpretingthe intercept of 0 makes sense in this problem.

d. The slope is 3.14 or pi. This makes sense because if the circumference of a circle is divided by its diameter, theresult is a constant, namely 3.14 or pi. This is true no matter what circle is being considered. In this case, for everymm the diameter increases on a coin, then the circumference increases by 3.14 cm.

7.5. Two-Way Frequency Tables www.ck12.org

7.5 Two-Way Frequency Tables

Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data in two different categories.


• Two-Way Frequency Table - Similar to a Venn diagram. It shows data that pertains to two differencecategories. The data from one sample group is shown as it relates to two different categories. One category isrepresented by rows and the other category is represented by columns.

• Relative Frequency - the ratio of the value of a subtotal to the value of the total or how often somethinghappens divided by outcomes. Relative frequency can be written as a ratio or percent.

– For example, if you won 5 games out of 10 games, then your relative frequency of winning is 5/10, or50%.

Suppose you conduct a survey where you ask each person two questions. Once you have finished conducting thesurvey, you will have two pieces of data from each person. Whenever you have two pieces of data from each person,you can organize the data into a two-way frequency table.

The table illustrates the results when 100 students were asked the survey questions: “Do you have a curfew?” and“Do you have assigned chores?” Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to have chores?

Of the students who answered that they had a curfew, 40 had chores and 10 did not. Of the students who answeredthey did not have a curfew, 10 had chores and 40 did not. From this sample, there appears to be a positive correlationbetween having a curfew and having chores.

50

http://www.ck12.org


A group of people were surveyed about 1) whether they have cable TV and 2) whether they went on a vacation inthe past year.

The numbers in the frequency table show the number of people that fit each pair of preferences. For example, 97people have cable TV and took a vacation last year. 38 people have cable TV but did not take a vacation last yearout of a sample size of 166.

The totals of the rows and columns have been added to the frequency table for convenience. To help you interpretthe data more easily, you can calculate the relative frequency for each preference.

Now let’s ask a more specific question. For the people who didn’t take a vacation, are they more likely or less likelyto have cable TV? You can use the two-way frequency table to conclude that there is a positive correlation betweenpeople who have cable TV and people who take vacations. So, if you have cable TV, you are more likely to take avacation than people who don’t have cable TV.

Let’s figure out the relatively frequency for the column, no vacation. Interpreting the results, if you didn’t take avacation, odds are that you have Cable TV (because 69% of the people who didn’t take a vacation, have Cable TVversus 31% of people who do not).

The fact that a student has a T.V. intheir room does not cause the student to fail a test. Rather, it may be that the student is spending more time watchingT.V. or playing video games instead of studying.

7.6. Mean, Median, Mode, Range, and M.A.D www.ck12.org

7.6 Mean, Median, Mode, Range, and M.A.D

Identify and find different measures: mean, median, mode, and range, so you can describe and analyze data sets.


• Mean - commonly referred to as the average, is the sum of all the data items divided by the number of dataitems.

• Median - the middle number in the set of data that is ordered from lowest to highest. If there is an evennumber of data, we take the average of the middle two numbers to find the median.

• Mode - the number that occurs most often.• Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) - the average distance between each data value and the mean.• Range - the breadth of the data, the difference between the largest and smallest values.• Measures of Central Tendancy - or measures of central location are used to identify the central position

within a data set, which may include mean, median, and mode.

In the real world, there are many situations in which a large group of data is collected. In order to make sense ofthe data, we use a number of statistical measures. These measures help us to generalize a group of data, makeinferences about it, and compare it with other groups of data. Depending on the situation, certain measures may bemore helpful than others in interpreting data.

A manager at a small movie theater was analyzing the number of people who came to the movies during the week.Over nine days, he found the following data: 81, 89, 92, 85, 93, 62, 85, 105, and 90. Find Measures of CentralTendency and the range of the following data set.

Find the Mean: First, let’s find the mean. Remember that the mean is the same as the average. Add all of the dataitems and divide by the number of items. The average or mean is 86.8 which could be rounded up to 87.

=81+89+92+85+93+62+85+105+90

9

=782

9= 86.8

Find the Median: Next, let’s find the median. The median is the middle number when the data is ordered fromlowest to highest. First reorder the data from least to greatest. The median is 89.

62,81,85,85,89,90,92,93,105

↑The middle number, 89, is the median.

Find the Mode: Let’s find the mode. The mode is the number that occurs most often. In this case, 85 occurs twotimes and all of the other number only once. The number 85 is the mode.

Find the Range: And finally, let’s find the range. The range is the difference between the highest value and thelowest value in a data set. In this case, the highest value is 105 and the lowest value is 62 for a difference of 43.

105−62 = 43

Finding MAD!

Determine the mean of the following set of grades on a quiz for a math quiz: 90, 95, 80, 89, 90, 85, 93, 90

The mean is used as a guide to make a prediction. Using the example above, if I were to guess the average gradeon the math quiz, the mean would be a good guess.

If the numbers are all spread apart, the mean might not be a good measure of predicting outcomes. For example,if someone in the class gets a 0 on a the quiz, but everyone else in the class gets a B or an A, the mean of the testgrades would probably be somewhere close to 70.

Would it make sense for me to guess that on average, students got 70% on the quiz?

That is why we find the mean absolute deviation (MAD) because it helps us determine if the mean is useful.

The MAD is the average amount that each number is away from the mean of the data set. (You may hear it to referredto as the average mean deviation.)

1n ∑

ni=1 |xi− x|= |entry1−mean|+|entry2−mean|+|entry3−mean|+...|entryn−mean|

total number o f entries,n

Finding MAD: The steps to find MAD include:

1. Find the mean (average).2. Find the difference between each data value and the mean.3. Take the absolute value of each difference.4. Find the mean (average) of these differences.

Determine the mean of the following set of grades on a quiz for a math quiz: 80, 85, 81, 0, 85, 90, 87, 92

1. Find the mean (average): 80+85+81+0+85+90+87+928 = 75

2. Find the difference between each data value and the mean:

TABLE 7.11:

80 - 75 = 5 82 - 75 = 7 81 - 75 = 6 0 - 75 = -7585 - 75 = 10 90 - 75 = 15 87 - 75 = 12 92 - 75 = 17

3. Take the absolute value of each difference and find the mean (average) of these differences: 5+7+6+75+10+15+12+178 =

18.375

The mean absolute deviation for the test is 18.375.

What does this tell us? Is the mean relevant for this data? When the mean absolute deviation is large, that meansthat the mean is not relevant. This is because there is an outlier.

• Mean means average.• MOde is the number that occurs the mOst often.• Remember to arrange the data in numerical order first before finding the median.• If all numbers occur the same amount of times, there is no mode.

7.7 Double Stem-and-Leaf Plots

Interpret Double Stem-Leaf Plots to analyze data sets.

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to define and give an example of the following vocabulary word:

• Stem-Leaf - A model used to display data to show detailed distribution and to easily identify the mode.

The girls and boys in one of EGJH’s English classes are having a contest. They want to see which group can read themost number of books.Their English teacher says that the class will tally the number of books each group has read,and the highest mode will be the winner. The following data was collected at the end of the year of AP English:

Girls 11 12 12 17 18 23 23 23 24 33 34 35 44 45 47 50 51 51

Boys 15 18 22 22 23 26 34 35 35 35 40 40 42 47 49 50 50 51

They draw a two-sided stem-and-leaf plot to help her determine the winner.

Analyzing the data, the class sees that the mode for the girls is 23 and the mode for the boys is 35. Also, the girlshave a higer frequency of low number (10s and 20s), while the boys have a higher frequency of high numbers (20s,30s, 40s).

So, who won the contest? You guessed it, the boys took home the prize this time.

7.8. Interpreting Box-and-Whisker Plots www.ck12.org

7.8 Interpreting Box-and-Whisker Plots

Interpret Box-and-Whisker Plots to analyze data sets.


• Box-and-Whisker - A model used to display data to show how the data is dispersed around a median. Thistype of graph is often used when the number of data values is large or when two or more data sets are beingcompared.

• Quartiles - Divide (cut) a list of numbers into quarters: Lower, Middle (median) and Upper• Median - The middle number of a data set.• Range - The difference between the greatest and lowest numbers in a data set.• Upper and Lower Extremes - the greatest and smallest numbers in a data set.

You have a summer job working at Paddy’s Pond. Your job is to measure as many salmon as possible and record theresults. Here are the lengths (in inches) of the first 15 fish you found: 13, 14, 6, 9, 10, 21, 17, 15, 15, 7, 10, 13, 13,8, 11

Create a box-and-whisker plot.

Find the median: Since a box-and-whisker plot is based on medians, the first step is to organize the data in orderfrom smallest to largest. Since there are 15 numbers, the median will be the 8th number in the data set, which is 13.

6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11, 13 , 13, 13, 14, 15, 15, 17, 21

Find the lower quartile: Now, let’s find the lower median, which is the median of the lower half of the data. It isalso called the lower quartile or Q1. There are 7 numbers in the lower quartile, so the median is the 4th number inthis data set, which is 9.

6, 7, 8, 9 , 10, 10, 11

Q1 = 9

Find the upper quartile: Let’s do the same for the upper quartile or Q3, which is the median of the upper halfof the data. Like the lower quartile, it also has 7 numbers in the data set, so the median number is the 4th number,which is 15.

13, 13, 14, 15 , 15, 17, 21

Q3 = 15

76

http://www.ck12.org


Draw the box plot: The numbers needed to construct a box-and-whisker plot are called the five-number summary.

The five-number summary are: the minimum value, Q1, the median, Q3, and the maximum value.

Minimum = 6; Q1 = 9; median = 13; Q3 = 15; maximum = 21

The three medians divide the data into four equal parts. In other words:

• One-quarter of the data values are located between 6 and 9.• One-quarter of the data values are located between 9 and 13.• One-quarter of the data values are located between 13 and 15.• One-quarter of the data values are located between 15 and 21.

From its whiskers, any outliers (unusual data values that can be either low or high) can be easily seen on a box-and-whisker plot. An outlier would create a whisker that would be very long.

Each whisker contains 25% of the data and the remaining 50% of the data is contained within the box. It is easy tosee the range of the values as well as how these values are distributed around the middle value.

• Box and Whisker plots help you interpret general data distribution, which is helpful when assessing orcomparing data sets with large values.

• The smaller the box plot, the more consistent the data values are with the median of the data.

8.1 Angle Pairs

Solve equations to find angle measures. Find angle measures of parallel lines.


• Straight angle - A straight angle measures 180◦.

• Right angle - A right angle measures 90◦.

• Supplementary angles - Two angles that add up to 180◦. They do not have to be adjacent.

• Complementary angles - Two angles that add up to 90◦. They do not have to be adjacent.

• Vertical angles - intersecting lines form 2 pairs of vertical angles. The pairs are opposite each other, don’tshare a common side. Vertical angles always have the same measure.

• Perpendicular lines - Two lines that intersect to form 4 right angles.

• Parallel lines - Lines in the same plane that never intersect (never cross each other).

• Corresponding angles - Angles that are in the same position in respect to the parallel lines, when a transversalline intersects two parallel lines.

– Alternate interior angles - interior angles that lie on opposite sides of a transversal line are equal.– Alternate exterior angles - exterior angles that lie on the opposite sides of a transversal line are equal.

What is m 6 X ?

Remember 6 is the symbol for angle and m stands for measure, so m 6 X means measure of angle X.

We know that supplementary angles add up to 180◦, and that 180◦ is a straight line. Looking at the diagram,the 80◦ angle and 6 X together form a straight line, so they are supplementary angles. That means we can set up anequation to solve for X .

80+X = 180

The equation shows what we already know: the sum of supplementary angles is 180◦. We can find the measure ofthe unknown angle by solving for X .

80+m6 X = 180

m6 X = 180−80

m 6 X = 100◦

The measure of the unknown angle in this supplementary pair is 100◦.

We can check our work by putting this value in for X in the equation. 80+100 = 180

When the transversal line y intersects two lines that are parallel (lines a and b), it forms the same angles ofintersection with the first parallel line and the second.

When line y intersects with line a, it forms 100◦ angles and 80◦ angles. When it intersects with line b, it alsoforms 100◦ angles and 80◦ angles! This is because lines a and b are parallel, so any transversal line will intersectwith them in the same way and form corresponding angles, for example, 6 Q and 6 E.

Now let’s label the various angle sets.

Interior angles = 6 G, 6 F, 6 P, 6 Q

Exterior angles = 6 D, 6 E, 6 S, 6 R

Alternate interior angles = 6 F and 6 P (notice they are also congruent), 6 G and 6 Q

Alternate exterior angles = 6 E and 6 S (notice they are also congruent), 6 D and 6 R

Vertical angles = 6 D and 6 F, 6 E and 6 G, 6 P and 6 R, 6 Q and 6 S

8.2 Angles and Triangles

Classify angles and triangles and use the angle-sum theorem to solve for unknown angle measures in triangles.


• Acute angle - An angle whose measure is less than 90◦.

• Right angle - An angle whose measure is exactly 90◦.

• Obtuse angle - An angle whose measure is between 90◦ and 180◦.

• Acute triangle - A triangle where each angle is less than 90◦.

• Obtuse triangle -A triangle where one angle is more than 90◦.

• Right triangle - A triangle where one angle that measures exactly 90◦.

• Equilateral/Equiangular triangle - A triangle where all three sides and angles are congruent (always 60◦).

• Isosceles triangle - A triangle where two sides and angles are congruent.

• Scalene triangle - A triangle where there are no congruent sides or angles.

• Angle-sum Theorem - The sum of the measures of a triangle is 180◦.

If m 6 1 = 77◦ and m 6 4 = 30◦, then what is the measure of 6 2, 6 3, and 6 5? Note: graphic is not to scale.

Notice the triangle is formed by two transversals crossing parallel lines l and m6 3. When the sides of the trianglesare extended above, pairs of angles are formed; an interior angle and an exterior angle, which together form a straightangle (180◦).

Let’s look for special angle pairs to help find the measures of 6 2, 6 3, and 6 5.

6 2 and 6 4 are alternate interior angles, so m6 2 = 30◦ too.

6 1 and 6 5 are corresponding angles, so m6 5 = 77◦ too.

Next investigate the straight angle that includes 6 1, 6 2, and 6 3. We know straight angles = 180◦.

So m6 1+m6 2+m6 3 = 180◦

In fact the sum of a triangle’s interior angles always equals 180◦ (angle-sum theorem).

To find m 6 3, substitute the known values for 6 1 and 6 2, and solve for 6 3 using the angle-sum theorem.

77◦+30◦+m6 3 = 180◦

m 6 3 = 73◦

So m 6 2 = 30◦, m6 3 = 73◦, and m6 5 = 77◦ .

What if you wanted to classify the Bermuda Triangle by its sides and angles? You are probably familiar with themyth of this triangle; how several ships and planes passed through and mysteriously disappeared.

Looking at the graphic below, what type of triangle is the Bermuda Triangle?

The Bermuda Triangle is an acute scalene triangle because all angles are < 90◦ and are all different.

Now let’s investiage the angles further...

1. Draw the Bermuda triangle on a piece of paper. We’ll color the three interior angles three different colors andlabel each one, 6 1, 6 2, and 6 3.

2. Now we’ll tear off the three colored angles, so you have three separate angles.

3. Let’s match the angles so their vertices match up. What happens? What measure do the three angles add upto?

This investigation shows us that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180◦ because the three angles fit together toform a straight line. Recall that a line is also a straight angle and all straight angles are 180◦.

As proof, add the Bermuda Triangle angles: 55.6◦+61.8◦+62.6◦ = 180◦

Remember: The interior angles of any triangle ALWAYS add up to 180◦.

99

http://www.ck12.org


• If one angle = 90◦, then it is a right triangle

• If all angles are < 90◦, then it is an acute triangle.

• If one angle is > 90◦, then it is an obtuse triangle.

• If all the angles are different, then it is a scalene triangle because the sides opposite the different angles willautomatically be different lengths too (hint: scales on a fish are different).

• If 2 sides and angles are the same (as noted by the dash mark on each congruent side), then it is an isoscelestriangle (hint: 2 "eyes" are the same)

– GH=HI, means these lines are congruent (same).– If GH=HI, then the angles that are opposite each congruent side are also congruent - m6 G = m6 I

• If all 3 sides and angles are the same (always 60◦), then it is an equilateral triangle (notice the dash marksagain on each side to show the sides are equal).

• A triangle may be classified by more than 1 category. For example, an obtuse isosceles or an acute scalene.

• Remember for triangles, the sum of all interior angles is always 180◦.

6. a. x = 22, so the angle measures are 65◦, 65◦, 50◦. This means it is an acute triangle because all the angles areless than 90 and it is isosceles because 2 sides are the same length because 2 angles are the same measurement.

b. x = 17, so the angle measures are 90◦, 52◦, 38◦. This means it is a right triangle because one of the anglesequals 90 and it is scalene because all 3 angles are different and so all three side lengths will be different.

c. x = 12, so the angles are 90◦, 65◦, 25◦. This means it is a right triangle because one of the angles equals 90and it is scalene because all 3 angles are different and so all three side lengths will be different.

7. a. False, it is an obtuse triangle because one of the measures is greater than 90 degrees.

b. False, this does not form a triangle because the three interior angles do not add up to 180 degrees. The givenangles add-up to 181 degrees. A triangle is formed that has the following interior angles: 62◦, 67◦, and 51◦ (oranything that adds up to 180 degrees).

3. m6 BCD = 73◦.

Let F be a point on line k so that 6 DCF is a straight angle. Then because line k and l are parallel, 6 EDC and6 CFA are congruent and have equal measure. We know 32◦ + 41◦ + m6 BCF = 180◦, so m6 BCF = 107◦. 6 BCF and6 BCD form a straight angle. So 107◦ + m6 BCD = 73◦.

8.3. Quadrilaterals www.ck12.org

8.3 Quadrilaterals

Classify quadrilaterals and find missing angle measures using quadrilateral characteristics.


• Quadrilateral - A closed figure (polygon) with four sides that are line segments.

– Trapezoid - A quadrilateral with exactly 1 pair of parallel sides.– Parallelogram - A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel and 2 pairs of congruent angles

opposite each other.

* Rhombus - A parallelogram with 4 sides of equal length.* Rectangle - A parallelogram with 4 right angles.* Square - A parallelogram with 4 sides of equal length and 4 right angles.

What is the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral?

To best understand this, let’s look at a square.

A square has four right angles. Each right angle is 90◦. We can add up the sum of the interior angles of a square andsee how this is related to all quadrilaterals.

90◦+90◦+90◦+90◦ = 360◦

The sum of the interior angles of all quadrilaterals is 360◦.

108

http://www.ck12.org


Classify the shape below and find the missing measure "x".

The sum of the interior angles of all quadrilaterals is 360◦.

Write an equation using the variable and given measurements and figure out the measure of the missing angle.

80+75+105+ x = 360

260+ x = 360

360−260 = x

100 = x

The missing angle is equal to 100◦.

1. m6 BAM = 33.2◦, m6 DAN = 33.2◦, m 6 AMB = 56.8◦, m6 AMC = 123.2◦, m6 ANC = 123.2◦, m6 AND = 56.8◦

Use the following facts to solve for angles BAM and DAN.

Since the quadrilateral is a square, the m 6 BAD = 90◦.

The angles BAM and DAN are congruent since the transversal line is equal distance (x) from each corner ofthe square.

Use the triangle sum theorem to solve for angles AMB and AND.

Since a straight angle equals 180 degrees, then you can solve for angles AMC and ANC.

8.4. Polygons and Angles www.ck12.org

8.4 Polygons and Angles

Find angle measures in polygons.


• Polygon - A closed figure made up of straight line segments that intersect only at their endpoints. Polygonshave three or more sides.

– The sum of the interior angles of a polygon = (n−2)×180◦, where n = the number of sides.

• – Regular Polygon - A polygon where all the angles have the same measure and all sides have the samelength.

* Measure of one angle in a regular polygon = (n−2)×180◦

n

• – Irregular Polygon - A polygon that does not have all sides equal and does not have all angles equal.

Find the sum of the interior angles in a hexagon.

First, count the number of angles or sides. This polygon has six sides and six angles. We will put 6 in for n in theformula and solve.

(n−2)×180◦

(6−2)×180◦

4×180◦ = 720◦

The sum of the interior angles in a hexagon is 720◦.

Note: the formula shows that a hexagon contains 4 triangles. When we multiply by 180◦, we find that the sum of theinterior angles in a hexagon is 720◦. This is true for any (convex) hexagon, regular or irregular.

118

http://www.ck12.org


What is the measure of each angle in a regular octagon?

Substitute the number of sides in the sum of interior angles of a polygon formula to find the total of the angles.

(n−2)×180◦

n(8−2)×180◦

86×180◦

81,080◦

8

If it is a regular octagon, all of the angles are congruent, which means they all have the same measure. So, dividethe total number of degrees by 8 (the number of angles) to find the measure of each angle..

1,080◦÷8 = 135◦

Each angle in a regular octagon, no matter how big or small, always measures 135◦.

119

http://www.ck12.org


• For more than 10 sides, polygons are called n-gon, where n = the number of sides ( example: 14 - gon).• The sum of the interior angles of a polygon = (n−2)×180◦, where n = the number of sides. (Note: this only

works for convex polygons - not concave).• Measure of one angle in a regular polygon = (n−2)×180◦

8.5 Congruent Polygons

Identify and name congruent polygons.


• Congruent sides - The sides are the same length.• Congruent angles - The angles have the same measure.• Corresponding parts - The parts are in the same relative position in different figures.

Here’s an example of congruent polygons. It is important to name line segments correctly to identify which segmentsare equal in length and to see which angles have the same measures. Notice the congruent symbol marks in thediagram below to show which angles and sides are equal. If two polygons have markings that confirm they arecongruent, then you can create a congruency statement such as: ABC =DEF .

9.1 Reflections and Symmetry

Reflect figures and identify lines of symmetry.


• Reflection - A transformation known as a flip where a mirror image of each point of a figure is created.

• Transformation - A way of shifting or moving a geometric figure on the coordinate plane.

• Image - The new figure made by the transformation.

• Symmetry - When an object has the ability to be divided into matching parts (one half of the figure is a mirrorimage of the other half).

• Line of Symmetry - The line that divides an object into matching parts.

A triangle with vertices A(-1, 1), B(-3, 1), and C(-1, 6) is reflected across the y-axis. Find the coordinates of thevertices of the image.

To visualize the problem, graph the given triangle on a coordinate plane.

139

http://www.ck12.org

9.1. Reflections and Symmetry www.ck12.org

Reflect the triangle across the y-axis and write down the reflected image vertices. Reflecting a point across the y-axisis a horizontal change where the image point is the same distance from the y-axis as the original point, but on theopposite side.

The reflected triangle’s vertice coordinates are A’(1, 1), B’(3, 1), and C’(1, 6) when reflected over the y-axis.

As with all things in math, look for a pattern.

(-1, 1) reflected across the y-axis is (1, 1). The x-coordinate has the opposite sign.



Given this information, what would the vertices be if the triangle was reflected across the x-axis?

(-1, 1) reflected across the x-axis is (-1, -1). The y-coordinate has the opposite sign.

(-3, 1) reflected across the x-axis is (-3, -1). The x-coordinate has the opposite sign.

(-1, 6) reflected across the x-axis is (-1, -6). The x-coordinate has the opposite sign.

The reflected triangle’s vertice coordinates are A’(-1, -1), B’(-3, -1), and C’(-1, -6) when reflected over thex-axis.

A trapezoid with vertices A(2, 1), B(7, 1), C (3, 3), and D (6, 3) is reflected in the x-axis. Find the coordinatesof the vertices of the image.

To visualize the problem, graph the given trapezoid on a coordinate plane.

Reflect the trapezoid across the x-axis and write down the reflected image vertices. Note: Reflected images arecongruent to the original.

The reflected trapezoid’s vertice coordinates are A’(2, -1), B’(7, -1), C’(3, -3) and D’(6, -3) when reflected overthe x-axis.

1. Any answer is correct as long as the original figure and the image figure are the same size and shape (congruent).

2. Yes, it’s just not reflected across the x- or y-axis. Instead it’s reflected across another "mirror" line - the reflectionline falls on coordinates (0, 0) and (5, 5). For each corner of the shape - measure from the point to the mirror line.Measure the same distance again on the other side and place a dot. Connect the new image dots.

9.2. Translations and Rotations www.ck12.org

9.2 Translations and Rotations

Translate or rotate figures in a coordinate plane.


• Translation- A slide - when a figure moves up, down, left or right on the coordinate plane, but does not changeposition. The image is congruent to the original figure.

– Slide to the Right a units: x + a.– Slide to the Left a units: x - a.– Slide Up b units: y + b.– Slide Down b units: y - b.– Translation rule = (x,y)⇒ (x+a,y+b)

• Rotation- A turn - when a figure is turned 90◦ or 180◦ on the coordinate plane.

– 90◦ Clockwise Rotation around the origin - For a point, switch the coordinates, then multiply the newy-coordinate by -1.

– 90◦ Counterclockwise Rotation around the origin - For a point, switch the coordinates, then multiply thenew x-coordinate by -1.

– 180◦ Rotation around the origin - For a point, multiply both its coordinates by -1. Note: Do not switchcoordinates as you do with 90◦ rotations.

A triangle has vertices of (-1, 5), (-1, 2), and (-5, 2). Find the vertices of its image after the translation(x,y)⇒ (x+0,y−3).

The translation, x + 0, says to slide the figure 0 units (along the x-axis), which means the figure does not move leftor right.

The translation, y - 3, says to slide the figure 3 units down (along the y-axis), which means subtract 3 from eachy-coordinate in the original figure to arrive at its translated image.

(−1,5)⇒ (−1+0,5−3)⇒ (−1,2)

(−1,2)⇒ (−1+0,2−3)⇒ (−1,−1)

(−5,2)⇒ (−5+0,2−3)⇒ (−5,−1)

This means all of its vertices will shift 3 places down the y−axis. The y−coordinate changed from 5 to 2 and from2 to -1.

The vertices of the translated image are (-1, 2), (-1, -1), and (-5, -1). Note: The figure and its image arecongruent.

Note: If the translation was (x,y)⇒ (x+0,y+3), then the y−coordinate values would increase by three units andthe translated imaged would be above the original figure.

A square has vertices of (-4, 3), (-1, 3), (-1, 6), and (-4, 6). Find the vertices of its image after the translation (x,y)⇒(x+5,y+0).

The translation, x + 5, says to slide the figure 5 units to the right (along the x-axis), which means add 5 to eachx-coordinate in the original figure to arrive at its translated image.

The translation, y + 0, says to slide the figure 0 units (along the y-axis), which means the figure does not move up ordown.

(−4,3)⇒ (−4+5,3+0)⇒ (1,3)

(−1,3)⇒ (−1+5,3+0)⇒ (4,3)

(−1,6)⇒ (−1+5,6+0)⇒ (4,6)

(−4,6)⇒ (−4+5,6+0)⇒ (1,6)

This means all of its vertices will shift 5 places to the right along the x−axis. The x−coordinate changed from -4 to1 and from -1 to 4.

The vertices of the translated image are (1, 3), (4, 3), (4, 6), and (1, 6). Note: The figure and its image arecongruent.

Note: If the translation was (x,y)⇒ (x− 5,y+ 0), then the x−coordinate values would decrease by five units andthe translated imaged would be to the left of the original figure.

The easiest way to think about rotating any figure is to think about it moving around a fixed point. In this case, rotatethe figure around the center point or origin (0, 0).

To figure out the coordinates of the new rotated figure, switch the coordinates and then, multiply the y-coordinatesby -1.

A(−3,5)⇒ (5,−3)⇒ A′(5,3)

• Figures can translate in other ways too - figures can move diagonally by changing both their x− and ;y−coordinates.One way to recognize translations, then, is to compare their points. The x−coordinates will all change the sameway, and the y−coordinates will all change the same way.

• Translation rule (x,y)⇒ (x−1,y+2). In this example, the translation rule states to move the x-coordinate tothe left one and the y-coordinate up two to arrive at the translated image vertices.

• Reflection over the Axes Theorem: If you compose two reflections over each axis, then the final image is arotation of 180◦ of the original.

9.3 Similarity and Dilations

Dilate figures in a coordinate plane. Use similar polygons to find missing measures.


• Similar - Figures that have the same shape, but not the same size. Corresponding angle measures are the same(congruent) and corresponding side lengths are proportional. The symbol for similar is ∼.

• Dilation - To reduce or enlarge a figure according to a scale factor(k). P(x,y)→ P′(kx,ky)

• Scale Factor - The ratio that compares the lengths of corresponding sides to each other - the comparison isthe scale factor.

• Indirect Measurement - Use similar triangles to figure out challenging distances or lengths.

9.4 Transformation Sequences

Describe sequences of transformations. Determine if figures exhibit congruency or similarity.


• Sequence of Transformations - To perform more than one transformation on a figure. The resulting image isfound through a combination of translation, rotation, reflection, and/or dilation moves.

Reflect ∆ABC over the y-axis and then translate the image (x,y)⇒ (x+0,y−8). Is the image congruent or similarto the original figure?

First, reflect ∆ABC over the y-axis.

A(8,8)→ A′(−8,8)B(2,4)→ B′(−2,4)C(10,2)→C′(−10,2)

This red triangle labeled "reflection" shows this transformation.

Second, translate ∆ABC using the rule (x,y)⇒ (x+ 0,y− 8). This means to move the image down eight units orsubtract eight from each y-coordinate.

A′(−8,8)→ A′′(−8,0)B′(−2,4)→ B′′(−2,−4)C′(−10,2)→C′′(−10,−6)

After the sequence of transformations (reflection, and then translation), the vertices of 4A′′B′′C′′ are A” (-8,0), B” (-2, -4), and C” (-10, -6). The image is congruent with the original figure as all the corresponding sidesand corresponding angles are the same.

Parallelogram ABCD and parallelogram A"B"C"D" are plotted on the coordinate plane below. Describe asequence of transformations to determine how parallelogram ABCD matches to parallelogram A"B"C"D". Isthe image congruent or similar to the original figure?

Look at the image and note the differences between the parallelograms.

First, notice the notation on parallelogram A"B"C"D". The "tic" marks show that a sequence of two transformations(two "tic" marks) occurred to arrive at the final image.

Second, notice the vertices are flipped, so one of the transformations was either rotating the figure 180◦ or reflectingit.

Third, notice the image is smaller than the original figure, so one of the transformations was reducing the figure(dilation) by a certain scale factor.

Since the image is smaller, we know the scale factor is less than 1.

To figure the scale factor, compare the vertices between the original figure and the final image.

A(−2,−6)→ A′′(1,−3)

B(2,4)→ B′′(−1,−2)

C(2,−2)→C′′(−1,−1)

D(−2,0)→ D′′(1,0)

It easy to see that each coordinate is half of the first coordinate, so the scale factor is 12 . ( 1

2 = 36 , 1

2 = 24 , etc...)

Rotate parallelogram ABCD 180◦, and then reduce the image by a scale factor of 12 to arrive at parallelo-

gram A"B"C"D". The final image is similar to the original figure as the corresponding angles are the same,but the corresponding sides are proportional.

178

http://www.ck12.org


• Figures are congruent if all the corresponding angles and corresponding sides are the same.

• Figures are similar if all the corresponding angles are the same, but all the corresponding sides are propor-tional.

• In many cases, a variety of transformation sequence can arrive at the same final image.

1. Square ABCD is reflected over the y-axis and then dilated using a scale factor or 14 . Which parts are congruent

and which are similar between square ABCD and square A"B"C"D"? Explain

1. Remember order matters - therefore, reflect over y= 3 first, (red triangle) then reflect over y=−5 (green triangle).

In the graph, the two lines are 8 units apart (3− (−5) = 8). The figures are 16 units apart. The double reflection isthe same as a translation that is double the distance between the parallel lines.

(x,y)→ (x,y−16)

2. Rotate 90◦ clockwise, then translate the figure (x,y)→ (x− 0.5,y+ 0.3) to arrive at image with point E’. Next,translate translate the figure (x,y)→ (x+10,y+2.4) to arrive at image with point E”. Finally, reflect image over x =2 to arrive at image with point E”’, but wait! Point E”’ is not similar or congruent as the x-coordinate is the same,but the y-coordinate is different by 0.1. The image is neither similar or congruent to the original figure.

10.2 Estimating Square Roots

Estimate values of square roots. Find the simplest radical form.


• Radical - The symbol √ is called a radical sign. It is used to represent a positive square root. The symbol−√ represents the negative square root.

• Radical Expression - An expression that involves a radical sign.

• Perfect Square - Any number that has integer square roots.

• Radicand - The expression under a radical sign.

• Simplest Radical Form - The radicand has no perfect square factors other than 1.

Approximate√

30 to the nearest whole number and find the simplest radical form. Determine whether it isrational or irrational.

To approximate the square root to the nearest whole number, identify the nearest perfect squares.√

25 = 5√

36 = 6

Compare the square roots and use the one closest to the square root you are approximating.√

30 is closer to√

25 than√

36, so√

30 is closer to 5 than to 6.

Find the simplest radical form by separating the square root into "perfect square" factors, if possible.

In this case the factors of 30 are 3, 10, 5, and 6 - none of which are perfect squares.

So√

30 is in its simplest radical form.√

30 ≈ 5 - since the actual square root cannot be written as a fraction,√

30 is irrational and in its simplestform

• A rational number is any number that can be written as a fraction, including repeating decimals.

• An irrational number is any number that is not rational. When written as a decimal, these numbers are non-terminating and non-repeating.

10.3 Solving equations with Square Roots

Solve equations containing square roots. Find solutions in simplest radical form and approximate square roots.


• Square Roots - A square root of a number n is a number m that, when multiplied by itself, equals n.

– m2 =√

n, so if m = 3, then n = 9.

Solve x2+10 = 0. Write the answer in simplest radical form and approximate the answer to the nearest tenth.

Use inverse operations to isolate the variable.

x2−10 = 0

+10 =+10

x2 = 10

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to further isolate the variable.

HHH√

x2 =√

10

x =±√

10

±√

10 is in simplest radical form because none of its factors are perfect squares (1, 2, 5, and 10).

Estimate ±√

10.

The perfect square below 10 is 9, and the perfect square above 10 is 16.

Therefore, 9 < 10 < 16, so√

10 is between√

9 and√

16 or 3 <√

10 < 4

Because 10 is closer to 9 than 16, the decimal is a low value:

±√

10≈±3.2

Check the approximation, 3.22 = 10.24. If you wanted to, you could keep repeating this process to approximate aneven closer square root.

The final answer is x =±√

10≈±3.2.

• For square root equations, the answer can be both a positive or a negative number.

10.4 The Pythagorean Theorem

Prove and use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the side lengths of a right triangle in two and three dimensions.Use the converse of the Pythagorean Theory to prove a triangle is a right triangle.


• Hypotenuse - The side opposite the right angle in a right triangle is the hypotenuse. The other two sides arecalled legs.

• Pythagorean Theorem - For any right triangle: a2 +b2 = c2.

– * (leg)2× (leg)2 = (hypotenuse)2

• Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem - If a triangle with side lengths a, b, c, satisfies a2 + b2 = c2, thenthe triangle is a right triangle.

10.4. The Pythagorean Theorem www.ck12.org

If a = 9 mm, b = 12 mm, and c = 15 mm, prove the Pythagorean Theorem is true using4ABC.

Draw a picture of the given triangle.

Using the right triangle, create 3 right triangles -4ABC, 4CBD, and 4ACD.

206

http://www.ck12.org


Here are each of the triangles shown individually.

the triangles and write similarity statements. Explain your reasoning.Compare

4ABC∼4CBD because each one has a right triangle, and they all share 6 B. So by the angle-angle criterion,these two triangles are similar.

4ABC ∼4ACD because each one has a right triangle, and they all share 6 A. So by the angle-angle criterion,these two triangles are similar.

4ACD∼4CBD because each are similar to4ABC (transitive property).

Since the triangles are similar, they have corresponding sides that are equal in ratio.

Prove the Pythagorean Theorem using the similar triangles’ measures.

4ABC ∼4CBD9

15 = |BD|9 , so 92 = 15(‖BD|)

4ABC ∼4ACD1215 = |AD|

12 , so 122 = 15(‖AD|)

Add these two equations together:

92 +122 = 15( |BD|)+15( |AD|)

92 +122 = 15( |BD|+ |AD|) (using the distributive property)

Given ( |BD|)+( |AD|) = ( |AC|) = 15, substitute this value in for the line segments.

So 92 +122 = 15(15) or 92 +122 = 152.

This proves the Pythagorean Theorem or a2 +b2 = c2 is true.

207

http://www.ck12.org


Note: You can also use squares to prove the Pythagorean Theorem.

The sum of the areas of the smallest squares is 152 +202 = 625 cm2 .

The area of the largest square is 252 = 625 cm2 .

The sum of the areas of the squares off of the legs is equal to the area of the square off of the hypotenuses; therefore,a2 +b2 = c2.

Is the triangle with leg lengths of 7 mm and 7 mm and a hypotenuse of length 10 mm a right triangle?

Substitute the given measures into the Pythogorean Theorem and solve.

1. x = 6 (Remember you can’t have negative numbers when measuring length.)

2. The rectangles are similar because their corresponding side lengths are equal in scale factor (1.6). So, 14.4+24.6 = 40 and 40 = 40. This means Reese’s claim is correct.

3. No, because the triangle used to prove the theorem is not a right triangle, so it can’t be used to prove the theoremis correct. The Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles.

See a triangle has been formed and AB is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem, where a = BC = 2 (the distance between B and C) and b =CA = 6 (the distancebetween C and A). Solve for c, which is the hypotenuse AB of the right triangle .

11.1 Three-Dimensional Figures

Classify solid figures and identify and count faces, edges, and vertices. Sketch representations of solid figures asperspective of top, front, and side views.


• Solid- A three-dimensional figure with length, width, and height that encloses a part of space.

– Cylinder - A solid with two congruent circular bases that lie in parallel planes.

• – Cone - A solid with one circular base.

• – - A solid formed by all points in space that are the same distance from a fixed point called the cen-ter.Sphere

• Polyhedron- A solid that is enclosed by polygons.

– Prism - A polyhedron that has two congruent bases that lie in parallel planes. The other faces arerectangeles.

232

http://www.ck12.org


Note: Notice there are two common bases in each of the shapes - hexagons, pentagons, and triangles, so theseprisms are called (in order) a hexagonal prism, a pentagonal prism, and a triangle prism.

• – - A polyhedron that has one base. The other faces are triangles. The pyramid is identified by its base,so this is a rectangular pyramid and a pentagonal pyramid.Pyramid

• - The flat surfaces of a three-dimensional figure. Faces are in the form of plane shapes, such as triangles,rectangles, and pentagons.Face

• - The place where two line segments meet in a three-dimensional figure. Edges are straight; they cannot becurved.Edge

• - The point where edges meet in a three-dimensional figure. Vertex

233

http://www.ck12.org


Classify the solid and tell whether it is a polyhedron. Then count the number of faces, edges, and vertices.

To classify the solid, identify the properties of the figure. This figure has...

• two common bases that are hexagons.• six sides that are rectangles• all planes of the figure are polygons.

There are two common bases that are hexagons and all the sides are rectangles, so this is a hexagonal prism.

Since all the faces are polygons, this solid is a polyhedron.

Next, count the number of faces, edges, and vertices.

Remember, each face is a flat plane shape. In this figure, the bases, or top and bottom, are hexagons and thesides are all rectangles. There are six faces around the sides and two bases. This figure has eight faces in all.

There are six edges around the top hexagon where it meets each side, and six more around the bottom hexagonwhere it meets each side. And there are six more where each side meets another. This figure has 18 edges (6+ 6 + 6).

Remember, a vertex is like a corner. This figure has six corners, or vertices, on the top and six on the bottom.It has twelve vertices in all.

234

http://www.ck12.org


Sketch a triangular prism.

To draw the triangular prism, begin by drawing its base. Since it is a triangular prism, the base is a triangle.

Next, draw the sides. Given that this is a prism, each side is a rectangle. The bottom edge of each rectangular sideconnects to one edge of the base, so draw each rectangular face attached to the base. Connecting them togetherforms the solid figure.

• Remember edges cannot be curved. For example, cylinders do not have any edges.

Find the parts of⊙

A that best fit each description.

a. A radius

b. A chord

c. A tangent line

d. A diameter

e. A secant

f. A inscribed angle

g. An intercepted arc

To answer part a, remember the radius (r) is the distance from the center to any point on the circle. The radius is 1/2of the diameter. This means the radius can be identified as either HA or AF .

To answer part b, remember a chord is a segment that joins two points on a circle. There are several chords shownin this circle, so an example of a chord can be either CD, HF , or DG.

To answer part c, remember the tangent line is any line or ray that touches the circle in exactly one point. Theremeans the tangent line is←→BJ .

To answer part d, remember the diameter (d) is the distance across a circle through its center. This means thediameter is HF .

To answer part e, remember a secant is a line or ray that contains a chord. It must pass through a circle. This meansthe secant is←→BD.

To answer part f, remember an inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides contain chordsof the circle. This means the inscribed angle is 6 CDG .

To answer part g, remember an intercepted arc is the arc that lies inside of an inscribed angle and has endpoints onthe angle. This means the intercepted arc is GC .

1. m6 PMN = m6 PLN = 68◦ by the Congruent Inscribed Angle Theorem. Since they both share the chord PN, theirangles are the same.

mPN = 2 ·68◦ = 136◦ from the Inscribed Angle Theorem.

mPM = 180◦ since it is the diameter of the circle, so is half the circumference 360/2 = 180.

m6 LNP = 12 ·92◦ = 46◦ from the Inscribed Angle Theorem.

To find mLN, we need to find m6 LPN. 6 LPN is the third angle in4LPN, so 68◦+46◦+m6 LPN = 180◦. m6 LPN =66◦, which means that mLN = 2 ·66◦ = 132◦.

11.3 Surface Area of Prisms and Cylinders

Find the surface areas of prisms and cylinders.


• Net - A two-dimensional pattern that can be folded to make a model of a three-dimensional solid shape.

– Here is a net of a cube. Notice, when folded, this pattern forms a 3D cube.

• Surface Area - The total area of all of the surfaces of a solid shape.

– Surface Area of a Prism - The sum of twice the area of the base (B) and the product of the base’sperimeter (P) and the height.

* Rectangular Prism - SA = 2(lw+ lh+wh)* All Prisms - S = 2B+Ph

• – Surface Area of a Cylinder - The sum of twice the area of the base (B) and the product of the base’scircumference (C) and the height.

* SA = 2(πr2)+2πrh* S = 2B+Ch = 2πr2 +2πrh

251

11.3. Surface Area of Prisms and Cylinders www.ck12.org

Identify the solid shown by the net, and then find the surface area.

First, identify the solid shown by the net by identifying the properties of the net. Given the net shows two trianglesand three rectangles, it fits the definition of a triangular prism (triangle parallel bases and rectangle sides).

To find the surface area of the triangular prism, find the area of all the surfaces shown in the net.

The center (or bottom of the prism) is a rectangle. It has a length of 7 cm and a width of 3 cm.

A = lw

A = 7(3)

A = 21 sq. cm.

The left side is a rectangle. It has a length of 7 cm and a width of 4 cm.

A = lw

A = 7(4)

A = 28 sq. cm.

The right side is a rectangle. It has a length of 7 cm and a width of 5 cm.

A = lw

A = 7(5)

A = 35 sq. cm.

The bases are two triangles. They have a base of 3 cm and a height of 4 cm.

A =12

bh

A =12(3)(4)

A =12(12)

A = 6 sq. cm

252

http://www.ck12.org


There are two triangles, so multiply this base by two.

A = 2(6)

A = 12 sq. cm.

Now add up all of the areas.

SA = 12+35+28+21

SA = 96 sq. cm.

The net shows a triangular prism that has a surface area of 96 sq. cm.

Another way to solve is to use this formula, where B is the area of the base and P is the perimeter of the base. S =2B+Ph

Use the triangle area formula to find the area of the base. 12 bh = 1

2(3)(4) = 6 sq.cm.

Add all the base side lengths together to find the perimeter of the base. 3+4+5 = 12 cm

The height of the prism is 7 cm.

Substitute the given values into the formula.

S = 2B+Ph

S = 2(6)+(12)(7)

S = 12+84

S = 96 sq.cm

This confirms the answer, the surface area of this triangular prism is 96 sq. cm.

Find the surface area of this cylinder. Use 3.14 for π .

The formula for finding the surface area of a cylinder combines the formula for the area of the top and bottom circleswith the formula for finding the area of the rectangular ’wrap’ around the side. Remember that the wrap has a lengthequal to the circumference of the circular end, and a width equal to the height of the cylinder.

Substitute the given values into the formula. 4 centimeters is the radius of the circular bases. 8 centimeters is theheight of the cylinder.

SA = 2πr2 +2πrh

SA = 2(3.14)(42)+2(3.14)(4)(8)

SA = 2(3.14)(16)+2(3.14)(32)

SA = 2(50.24)+2(100.48)

SA = 100.48+200.96

SA = 301.44 cm2

The surface area of the cylinder is 301.44 cm2. Notice that this works well whether a net or a picture of a cylinderis given, as long as the radius and height of the cylinder are given.

254

http://www.ck12.org


• If you look at the net, the curved surface of the cylinder is rectangular in shape. The length of the rectangleis the same as the circumference of the circle. Since the length of the rectangle wraps around the circlerim, it is the same length as the circumference of the circle. In this example, the circumference is 18.84in. (2πr = 2(3.14)(3)) . 2πr = 2(3.14)(3)

Find the surface area of a square pyramid with a base side length of 8 in and slant height (l) of 9 in.

To find the surface area of a square (regular) pyramid, use the formula S = B+ 12 Pl.

First, find the values to substitute into the formula.

To find B, the area of the square base, multiply the two base side lengths together, which is 8×8 = 64 in.

To find P, the perimeter, multiply the square base side length by four (4 sides), which is 8×4 = 32 in.

The slant height (l), which is already given, is 9 in.

Substitute the values into the formula and solve.

S = B+12

Pl

S = 64+12(32)(9)

S = 64+144

S = 208 in2

The surface area of the square pyramid is 208 in2.

265

http://www.ck12.org


Find the surface area of a cone with a radius (r) of 3 in and slant height (l) of 9 in.

To find the surface area of a cone, use the formula S = πr2 +πrs.

Substitute the values into the formula and solve.

S = πr2 +πrs

S = π(32)+π(3)(9)

S = 9π+27π

S = 36πS = 113.04 in2

The surface area of the cone is 113.04 in2.

• Note: these formulas only work for regular pyramids and right circular cones.

– When a pyramid has a height that is directly in the center of the base, the pyramid is said to be regular.Because of the nature of regular pyramids, all slant heights are congruent.

– When a cone has a height that forms a right angle (90 degrees) to the base, the cone is said to be a rightcircular cone.

11.6 Volume of Pyramids and Cones

a picture

Find the volume of pyramids and cones.


• Volume (V) of a pyramid - One-third the product of the area of the base (B) and the height (h).

– V = 13 Bh

• Volume (V) of a cone - One-third the product of the area of the base (B) and the height (h).

– V = 13 Bh

– V = 13 πr2h

11.6. Volume of Pyramids and Cones www.ck12.org

What is the volume of the pyramid below?

First, decide what shape the base of the pyramid is. There are two pairs of parallel sides that meet at right angles, soit must be a rectangle. Use the area formula for rectangles to find B, the base area.

B = lw

B = 11(6.3)

B = 69.3 cm2

The area of this pyramid’s base is 69.3 square centimeters. Now multiply this by the height and 13 , according to the

formula.

V =13

Bh

V =13(69.3)(15)

V = 23.1(15)

V = 346.5 cm3

The volume of this pyramid is 346.5 cm3.

282

http://www.ck12.org


What is the volume of the cone below?

First, find the base area. The base is a circle, so use the area formula for circles.

B = πr2

B = π(3.52)

B = 12.25π

B = 38.47 cm2

The circular base has an area of 38.47 square centimeters. Now put this measurement into the formula for volume.

V =13

Bh

V =13(38.47)(22)

V = 12.82(22)

V = 282.04 cm3

The volume of this cone is 282.04 cm3.

11.7. Volume of Spheres www.ck12.org

11.7 Volume of Spheres

Find the volume of a sphere


• Sphere - A perfectly round solid figure where all of the points of it are equidistant from a center point.• Volume of a Sphere- The amount of capacity contained inside the sphere.

– V = 43 r3

Find the volume of the sphere below.

Given the radius of the sphere is 6 meters, substitute this value in for r and solve.

V =43

πr3

V =43

π(63)

V =43(216)π

V = 288π

Simplify by multiplying 288 by pi or 3.14.

288×3.14 = 904.32 cubic meters

The volume of this sphere is 904.32 m3.

292

http://www.ck12.org


What is the relationship between the volume measurements of each of these?

As this picture shows, there is a definite relationship between these figures.

• Each figure has the same "base" as shown by the 3 smaller rectangles (same diameter / radius).• Each figure has the same height as shown by the large rectangle.

Because they have the same radius and height, the cone will fit inside the cylinder. In fact, the volume of 3 coneswill fit inside a cylinder with the same radius and height measurements.

So, the volume of a cone is 13 the volume of the cylinder.

Once again, because they have the same radius and height, the sphere will also fit inside the cylinder with the sameradius and height. The volume of the sphere is one-third smaller than the cylinder.

So, the volume of a sphere is 23 the volume of the cylinder.

• To find the volume of spheres, use pyramids. Imagine a pyramid with its base on the surface of the sphere andits point as the center of the sphere. The radius of the sphere would be the height of the pyramid. If the wholesphere is filled with pyramids like this, then you could find the volume of the sphere.

Let’s look at how this information can give us the formula for finding the volume of a sphere.V = 1

3 BhVolume formula for a pyramid, where B represents the area of its baseV = 1

3 × surface area of sphere× rThe surface area of the sphere is equal to the area of the bases of all the pyramids. The height of the pyramidis equal to the radius of the sphere, so substitute r for h.V = 1

volume of sphere = volume of cylinder - (minus) volume of cone

Remember the volume of a sphere is 2/3 the volume of a cylinder and the volume of a cone is 1/3 the volume ofthe cylinder. So if you add the volume of a cone and sphere (with the same radius and height), you’ll get the volumeof a cylinder.

12.1 Counting Methods

Use tree diagrams or the Counting Principle to find all possible outcomes of a series of events involving two or morechoices or results.


• Tree Diagram - A branching diagram that shows all the possible combinations of outcomes for an event.

• The Counting Principle- To find the total number of outcomes in a sample space, multiply the number ofpossible outcomes in each event category together.

– If one event occurs in m ways and a second event occurs in n ways, then the number of ways that the twoevents can occur is m×n.

• – The principle can be extended to 3 or more events.

303

http://www.ck12.org

12.1. Counting Methods www.ck12.org

If you flip a coin three times, how many different outcomes are possible?

To find out, make a tree diagram.

Split the different events into either-or choices that branch from the first choice (flip 1).

The first choice breaks flip 1 down into heads or tails.

Each outcome of flip 1 is broken down again for flip 2, which is heads or tails again.

Each outcome of flip 2 is broken down yet again for flip 3, which is still heads or tails.

The pink box shows the total number of outcomes for both flips:

In all, there are now 8 total outcomes.

HHH HT H T HH T T H

HHT HT T T HT T T T

What happens when you increase the number of flips to four? Just add another section to your tree diagram thatbranches from "Flip 3" to "Flip 4".

Telly is working in a bicycle shop over spring vacation, so she can earn a free bike. Ms. Kelley, the shop owner,said that she would let Telly design her own bike so she can choose seat color and type of handlebars as well ascolor of the bike. Telly already knows that she wants a mountain bike. How many different bike combinationsdoes Telly have from which to choose?

Mountain bike

Colors = Red, Green, Blue or Purple

Seat = normal or extra cushion

Handlebars = straight or curved

Use the Counting Principle to figure out the total number of options that Telly has for her bike.

First, count the number options in each choice category.

There are four colors = 4

There are two seat options = 2

There are two handlebar options = 2

Multiply the number of choices within each category together to find the total number of bike choices.

4×2×2 = 16

The Counting Principle shows Telly that she has 16 different bike combinations from which to choose.

• Counting Principle: outcomes×outcomes = total outcomes

1. y = 2x - 11

First we will find the slope using the slope formula for x1 = 3,y1 = 7,x2 = 5,y2 = 11.

m =y2− y1

x2− x1

m =11−75−3

m =42

m = 2

Now plug in our known values of m,x1, and y1.

m =y− y1

x− x121=

Do you see that we have a proportion? This can be solved by cross multiplying.

m = 4,b = 8

Notice that we only need the first quadrant of the coordinate plane because negative values would not make sense.

12.2 Permutations

Use permutations to count possibilities.


• Factorial- A special number that represents the product of a series of descending values.

– 4!= 4×3×2×1 = 24– 4! is read 4 factorial.

• Permutation - A selection of items in which order is important.

– The number of permutations of n objects take r at a time is written:– nPr =

n!(n−r)!

– If 4 items are selected 4 at a time, the permutation is 4!(4−4)! =

240! =

Three taxis - an Acme Cab, a Bluebird Limo, and a Checker - all arrive outside of the BigWig Hotel at exactlythe same moment. In how many different ways can the three line up?

This problem can be reframed as 3!, which is 3× 2× 1 = 6. This means there are 6 different ways these cabs canline up. Here’s why.

For choice 1 you can select any of the three cabs, Acme, Bluebird, or Checker.

For choice 2, your options are now limited. You’ve already chosen the first cab, so you now only have 2 cabs tochoose from.

Finally, for choice 3 you have only 1 choice left.

You can multiply the three choices together to get the total number of choices, or permutations, as 6.

Here are the 6 different ways the cabs can line up.

Acme−Bluebird−Checker Bluebird−Acme−Checker Checker−Acme−BluebirdAcme−Checker−Bluebird Bluebird−Checker−Acme Checker−Bluebird−Acme

Notice that order is important here. Each of the 6 choices, or permutations, is a unique and different arrangement. Forexample, Acme-Bluebird-Checker is not the same way as Acme-Checker-Bluebird.

What happens when you increase the number of cabs by adding a Decker Taxi? How many different waysare there now?

Starting over, you can now see that there are 4 choices for the first cab, followed by 3 choices, 2 choices, and 1choice.

There are seven contestants on a reality show. Only three will make it to the finale. How many different wayscan the 3 finalists be selected for the finale?

This problem can be reframed as 7P3, which means 7 items taken 3 at a time (or seven contestants where only threeare selected to continue).

7P3 ⇐= 7 items taken 3 at a time

Set up the problem.

7P3 =7!

There are 210 possible permutations or 210 ways the top three contestants can be selected for the finale.

You can also solve this using the Counting Principle and stop after the first 3 places.

1. a. This situation is a Permutation because the order of the three numbers makes a difference in the lockercombination code. For example the code 10, 15, 8 is a different code than 8, 10, 15.

b. 20P3 or 20 ·19 ·18 are examples of expressions for this lock’s combination code.

c. In the nPr expression r would equal 4 instead of 3. Or, if you used the counting principle then you wouldmultiply four numbers instead of three, such as 20 ·19 ·18 ·17.

d. In the nPr expression n would equal 40 instead of 20. Or, if you used the counting principle then you wouldstart your multiplication expression with 40, such as 40 ·39 ·38.

e. In order for this to be a Combination problem, the order of the numbers in the combination lock wouldn’tmatter. If you put the code 10, 15, 8 in, it would be the same locker code as 8, 10, 15.

f. It doesn’t make sense because it isn’t a Combination, it is a Permutation. They should be called “PermutationLocks.”

g. Using the counting principle it would be 20 ·20 ·20 = 203.

12.3 Combinations

Recognize combinations as arrangements in which order is not important and evaluate combinations using combi-nation notation.


• Combination - An arrangement of items or events where the order is not important.

– The notation for combinations is similar to the notation for permutations.– nCr ⇐= n items taken r at a time

To compute nCr use the formula:nCr =

n!r!(n−r)! =

nPrr!

For his top tennis doubles team, Coach Yin is considering 3 players: Joyce, Rose, and Nica. How manydifferent doubles teams can the coach consider?

Use a tree diagram to find the different double team combinations that are possible.

The first tree diagram shows all 6 permutations of the 3 players.

But order doesn’t matter in this problem. For example, the team of Joyce-Rose is no different than the team ofRose-Joyce.

So in the second tree diagram cross out all outcomes that are repeats.

This leaves 3 combinations that are not repeats.

The 5 last people at a movie must compete for the last 2 empty seats. How many different groups of 2 can sitand watch the movie?

In this case, it doesn’t matter which order the people sit in the seats, so use the combination formula to find thenumber of different groups that can fill the seats.

Written in combination format, the problem looks like this 5C2.

5C2 ⇐= 5 items taken 2 at a time

Set up the problem by writing the combination formula for this situation.

5C2 =5!

2!(5−2)! or 5C2 = 5P22!

Fill in the numbers and simplify.

5C2 =5!

12.4 Probability and Odds

Find probabilities of events and find the odds in favor of events.


• Outcome- A possible result of a probability experiment.

– The outcomes that you specify are called favorable outcomes.– The remaining outcomes are unfavorable outcomes.

• Event- A set of outcomes.

– Complementary events are events whose probability sum adds up to 1 or 100%.

• Probability- A number 0 to 1 (or 0% to 100%) that represents the likelihood that an outcome will occur.

– Abbreviated as (P).– It can be written as a fraction, decimal or percent. For example, the probability of flipping tails is 1

2 or0.5 or 50%.

– There are two types of Probability:

* Theoretical Probability - This is what is expected to happen in an experiment.* Experimental Probability - This is what actually happens in an experiment.

1. x = 23, so she printed 23 pages.13 x+ 22

3 = 15

Now solve for x. The fractions make this equation more difficult to solve. So, use properties to take away thefractions. The reciprocal property states that any number multiplied by its reciprocal is equal to 1. Since bothfractions are thirds, multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal, 3

1 , to take away the fraction.31

(13 x+ 22

Now use the distributive property to simplify the left side of the equation.(31

)(13 x)+(3

1

)(223

)= 3

1(15)

x+22 = 45

Now you can easily solve the equation. Subtract 22 from both sides to isolate the variable.

Find the probability of Event B - picking green second.

Remember for the second marble, there are now only 9 marbles left in the bag and only 2 of them are green.So the probability of pulling out a green marble for the second marble is now:

P(green) =f avorable outcomes

total outcomes=

29

Calculate the probability of the compound event for two dependent events.

P(A and B) = P(A)×P(B given A)

P(A and B) =310× 2

9=

690

=115

The probability of picking two green marbles first is 115 = 6.7%.

• If the outcome of one event has no effect on the outcome of a second event, then the two events are independentevents.

• If the outcome of one event has an effect on the outcome of a second event, then the two events are dependentevents.

• Probability of two independent events: P(A and B) = P(A)×P(B)• Probability of two dependent events: P(A and B) = P(A)×P(B given A)

Bobcat Review

1. The answer is 126.

P Step 1 : Substitute 4 for “h.′′

8h2 +[51÷ (4 ·4.25)]−52÷5

8(4)2 +[51÷ (4 ·4.25)]−52÷5

Step 2 : Remember PEMDAS. Therefore, perform the operation inside the

grouping symbols first. Recall that order of operations must be followed

inside grouping symbols also. In this case, multiply 4×4.25 before dividing

by 51.

8(4)2 +[51÷ (4 ·4.25)]−52÷5

8(4)2 +[51÷17]−52÷5

8(4)2 +3−52÷5

E Step 3 : The next step in order of operations is to simplify the numbers with

exponents.

8(4)2 +3−52÷5

8(4 ·4)+3−5 ·5÷5

8(16)+3−25÷5

M Step 4 : Multiply

8(16)+3−25÷5

128+3−25÷5

D Step 5 : Divide

128+3−25÷5

128+3−5

A Step 6 : Add

128+3−5

131−5

S Step 6 : Subtract

131−5 = 126

2. The answer is 117.
