Geometry Assignments for Garnevicus Sections
FINAL EXAM REVIEW
Hi Everybody, this section is now complete. For the final, makes sure to bring your calculator and some pencils, and make sure to get sleep. Good job this year, and good luck.
Triangle Review (mostly SSA)
Previous Tests:
#33) TEST
#32) Wed/Thurs- green sheet frustum questions 7 and 8. Prepare for test review session.
#31) Monday/Tuesday- Complete questions 3 and 4 on the yellow sheet. Again, this will be collected, so do it on a separate sheet of paper.
#30) Friday- Complete questions #1 and #2 on the yellow sheet, this will be collected, and make sure you do it on a separate sheet of paper. Also keep the green sheet from class nearby, we'll need it on Friday.
#29) Wed/Thurs 12/13- Work on the purple sheet and cut out and tape the cone and the cube. Make sure to come in with your cut and taped cone and cube. Put some time into the sheet, we will go over it in class but we will go quickly so even if you can't solve everything, make sure that you are familiar with the ideas.
#28) Friday- Test on transformations
#27) Work on last year's test in preparation for our review session wed/thurs.
#26) From the Blue sheets stapled together( #1 #2 ) do questions #1,2,3,4 and then #12,13,14.
#25) May1/2- Finish the light pink sheet on matrix multiplication.
#24) Mon/Tues- complete the sheet from class and use the figure I sent you to explore the sketchpad features of transformations.
#23) Friday- april 25th- from the pink sheet complete questions 1, 2, 3. (one and two have many parts.)
#22) Wed/Thurs april 23/24- complete the white sheet from class and the first page of the tan sheet.There will be a brief homework quiz on the orange and green sheets on Wednesday.
#21) Mon/Tues- Complete the green sheet from class.
#20) Welcome back from break. Homework for Friday (which will be collected) is the orange sheet.
#19) Plan for this week: Hi Everybody, here's the brief summary of what we talked about/ will talk about in class Monday/Tuesday. We're changing the plan somewhat, instead of a long block test on Wed/Thurs, we're going to split it into a shorter test on Friday, and then a group quiz that will take up some portion of class on Wed/Thurs. Mon/Tues will remain the review session where we will go over last year's test.
Among other things that may be useful to you, here are the notes on what we covered on the long block last week: inscribed rectangles and orthogonal circles. Also, here are some brief solutions to coordinate circles #3.
#18) Wed/ Thurs- question #3 on the problems section of grey sheet (coordinate circles #2), questions 3 and 4 on the green sheet . this will be collected.
#17) question #10 on purple sheet (coordinate circles #1 link below). also try question three on page one and question 2 on page 2 from the grey sheet.
#16) wed/thurs 19th/20th- #3 from light green sheet #5,7 on purple. (all sheets are in the last link).
#15) mon/tues- questions 1,2,4 on the light green sheet. Remember that while no homework will be collected next week, there will be a surprise homework quiz on one of the three days of class next week.
#14) wed/thurs - study for test

The coordinates of triangle ABC are A(0,0), B(2,10), C(-2,3), Find the radius and are of the incircle and the circumcircle. (Remember that the radius of the incircle is equal to two times the area of the triangle divided by the triangle's perimeter.)

it's probably a good idea to get your own compass at some point.
remember that a portfolio involves a construction, a step by step explanation of the construction, and a proof that it works

a) The line determined by the midpoints of two sides of a triangle are parallel to the third side
b) The line segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is one half the length of the third side.
look at p. 176, 177 of the book and then do questions 1,3, and 7 on p.177
challenge problem- show using a coordinate proof that perpendicular bisectors of a trinagle are concurrent
#38) Wed/Thurs- Do the following coordinate proofs
1) Prove that the midsegment (the segment connecting the midpoints of the two non-parallel sides) of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases and has length equal to the average of the lengths of the bases.
2) Prove that the line segments joining the midpoints of successive sides of any quadrilateral form a parallelogram.
