Parallelograms

Parallelogram - a four sided figure with opposite sides parallel and equal in length.



Note:
the
arrow explains to you that the lines are parallel on the dia
gram that's shown.

Base - a side of a closed 2 dimensional figure.
- common symbol is B.




Height - the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.
- common symbol is h.



Area of a parallelogram
Base x Height ( bxh )





b- 6cm b x h = area of parallelogram
h- 4cm 6x4 = 24cm²



= area of parallelogram
= b x h
10 x 3 = 30cm²

area of a parallelogram
b x h =
2x4=8 m²

Angle bisectors

hello there are 2 ways to make an angle bisector

Method 1: use a compass
1. sharp point on the vertex.
2. make an arc that intersects both rays of the angle, label those intersections.
3. from the new intersections make two more arcs.
4. With a ruler draw from the line intersection to the vertex.
5. that line is your angle bisector.

Method 2: Use a protractor
1. measure the angle with a protractor.
2. divide the angle measurement x 2.
3. mark the half way point using the protractor.
4. use a ruler to connect the half way point to the vertex.
5. that is your angle bisector.

Acute angle (not an ugly angle)
is less than 90 degrees

eg.

Obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees
eg.


For extra help on angle bisectors wacth this video:

To day in math we were learning about perpendicular bisectors
first you have to have a line segment

eg.

then you use a compass and put it on line segment A
then puut the pencil side just slighty over the middle and make an arc
and do the same thing for line segment B but when u do it make sure u have the compass in the same position from line segment A


then make a straight line in between where the arcs meet then there you have it a perpendicular bisector. that is just one of three ways to find a perpendicular bisector.
here's a video for extra help: hope it helps!

Perpendicular Bisectors

Bisect - bi and sect
bi - two
sect - cut
bisect - to cut in two

Perpendicular Bisectors

1. Draw a line segment
2. sharp end of compass on point A
3. make an arc slightly larger than half the length of the line segment
4. repeat the process from point B with the same size arc
5. with a ruler join the two arc intersections with a straight line
6. you now have a perpendicular bisector







Another way to make a perpendicular bisector is ;

1. draw a line segment
2. measure with a ruler
3. divide the measurement by two that is the half way point
4. use a right angle triangle to create a perpendicular line at the half way point




The third way is ;

In class today, we also did page 91 in our textbook, only the "show you know"
You had to include all 3 ways of perpendicular bisectors.
We also had to do page 92 in our textbooks. Numbers 1-3

For homework : pages 28-29 in our homework booklet.

Here is a quick video on how to draw a perpendicular bisector of a line :

BEDMAS is a rule of order and operation and if you dont follow them you can lose an easy mark on an very wasy qustion.So you need to see if there are any brakets in the question then move on and see if there are any exponents then division then multiplication adding and subtracting its pretty easy

E.G
2x4+1=
8+1=
9+

Im so sorry guys i couldnt find a good link or video or picture Fell free to give me ideas to im prouve thanks bye:(

here is how you work with BEDMAS.

1st - check if they're any brackets
2nd - check if they're are any exponents
3rd - check for division
4th - check for multiplication
5th - check for addition
6th - check for subtraction

here's an example













here are the solutions to Fridays homework:

1. Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 ÷ 2. She claims the answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.

No, because the answer is 4.7.

1.7 + 6 ÷ 2 =
1.7 + 3 =
4.7

2. Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value
possible. What problem solving strategy did you use?

3 x 2.8 + 6.4 ÷ 4 =

brackets: 3 x (2.8 + 6.4 ÷ 4) =

3. Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression.

2.5 + 1.25 + 5 x 1.6 =

Lucy went to the canteen and bought a burger that cost $2.5, a cookie that cost $1.25 and 5 pieces of candy that cost $1.6. How much money would Lucy need to buy her lunch?

My answer:

$2.5 + $1.25 + 5 x $1.6 =
$2.5 + $1.25 + $8 =
$3.75 + $8 =
So Lucy would need $11.75 to pay for her lunch.

Order of Operations





















1. Check to see if there are brackets in the question.

2. Check to see if there are exponents in the question.

3. If there is divisio
n or multiplication in the question, start from left, then right. If the question is division first, then you divide. If the question is multiplication first, then you multiply.

4. If there is ad
dition or subtraction, start from left, then right. If the question is addition first, then you add. If the question is subtraction first, then you subtract
(64-32 x 2) + (22-3 2) =
First, look if there is any brackets.Yes, so solve the question in the bracket.

(64-64) + (22- 3 2)=
0 + (22-3 2) =
0 + (22-9) =
Now, do you see addition or subtraction? Yes, so you solve question from left to right.
0 + 13=
= 13

2.






2.5 + 1.25 + 5 x 1.6 =
2.5 + 1.25 + 8 =
3.75 + 8 =
= 11.75
Ashley needs $ 11.75 to purchase the items she wants.



Order of Operations!

B - Brackets
E - Exponents
D - Division
M - Multiplication
A - Addition
S - Subtraction

1. First, check if you have see any missing brackets in the question.
2. Then you go to the exponents and check you see any missing exponents in the question.
3. Then you go to division or multiplication and you have to start left, then right and also, you division first, then you divide, then you think is multiplication first and you multiply it!
4. Then you to addition or subtraction and you have to start left, then right and also, you addition first, then you add, then if you think is subtraction first and then you subtract it!

e.g.

6 - ( 5 - 3) + 10
\ /
+ 6 - 2 + 10

we had to do some problems;

1. Q. Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 ÷ 2. She claims the
answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.
1. A. I do not agree. Because if the question is 1.7+6÷2, you would have to divide first, heres how it would look if you did; 1.7 + 6 ÷ 2 =

2. A. Red= Answer

3. Q. Create a problem that could be solved using the following
expression.

3. A. How much money will I need if I need to buy an Apple pie[$2.5], Bottle of coke[$1.25], and 5 chocolate bars[$1.6 ea.]?

Order of Operation









1) First thing you do is, check if there are any brackets.
2) If there are no brackets, check if there are any exponents if not,
3) C
heck if there are any division or multiplication. if so, you start from left to right,
4) Then, you check if there are any addition or subtraction. Remember you must start from left, then to right.

This is one of the examples we did on Friday.

=


Next, you have to solve the questions in the brackets.




=






=



Remember to always use B.E.D.M.A.S! You need to solve the exponents before addition or subtraction!

=





The answer is...13
______________________________________






What do I think Annie did?
I think that Annie didn't use B.E.D.M.A.S, and so, she got it wrong! What she did was, she added 1.7 and 6 together! And then she divided that answer by 2! Giving her 3.85!


Which means, I don't agree with her. You are suppose to solve the multiplication or division questions before, addition or subtraction!

This is how you're suppose to do it...

1.7+ 6 divided by 2
1.7 + 3 = 4.7








Where I put the brackets
What I did was put the brackets after the 3 and after the 4.
3(2.8 + 6.4 divided by 4) =

What I did...
First solve the equation in the brackets, division first. Now you'll get this...
3(2.8 + 1.6) =
Now you can do the addition in the brackets and then open up the brackets.
3 x 4.4 = 13.2!





My problem...
Alice needs to buy groceries for her mom. She needs to buy a pack of carrots, a loaf of bread and 5 oranges. A pack of carrots is $2.50, a loaf of bread is $1.25 and 1 orange is $1.60. How much money would she need?

How I solved it...
$2.5 + $1.25 + 5 x $1.6 =
$2.5 + $1.25 + $8 =
$3.75 + $8 =
The answer is $11.75!

Homework :
1.
Annie has asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 ÷ 2. She claims the answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.

No, because:
1.7 + 6 ÷ 2 =
1.7 + 3 =
4.7





2.Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible. What problem strategy did you use?

( 3 x 2.8 ) + ( 6.4 ÷ 4 ) = 10





3. Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression.
( 4
÷ 2 ) + ( 6.7 x 2 ) = 15.4




Here is a quick game.

Order of Operations

B- brackets


E- exponents


D- division


M- multiplication


A- addition


S- subtraction



eg. 2+ 3 x 4= 1. So first you look if theirs brackets but theirs no brackets so you go to the next one.


2 + 3x4= 12 2. So now you look if theres a exponent but theirs none too so you just move on.


2 + 12 =12 3. Next you look for a multiplication or division their is multiplication so you do that one 3x4


4. Now you bring down 2 and + then you look if there is addition or subtraction theres addtion so you do that 12 +2 equals14.

thats how you do it.


here is a picture to show you.







now here is a video to show you.





Solutions to 3 questions


annie has been asked to calculate 1.7+6 divided by 2 answer is 3.85 do you agree? no because the answer is 4.7 so what she didn't do is 6 divided by 2 equals 3 then add 1.7= 4.7. 1.7+6 divided by 2=
1.7 + 6 divided by 2 = 3
1.7 + 3 = 4.7

Order Of Operation

When you are working with order of operation you need to know:
B- Brackets ()
E- Exponents 3²
D- Division ÷
M- Multiplication x
A- Addition +
S- Subtraction -

Now here are the rules:
1. First check if to see if there are any brackets in the math question.
2. Then check if there are any exponents in the math question.
3. Now check to see if there is multiplication or division in the math question from left to right.
4. Finally check to see if there is any addition or subtraction in the math question from left to right.
E.G.
1. 2 + 3 x 4 =
2 + 12 =
14 =

If you are still confused here's a video to help you understand about Order of operation








1.
Annie was asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 ÷ 2. She claims the answer is 3.85. Do you agree?
Explain why? or why not?
1. 7 + 6 ÷ 2 =
1.7 + 3 =
4.7 =
2.Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible. What problem strategy did you use?
3 X (2.8) + (6.4÷4)=10

3. Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression.
(2.5)+1.25+5X(1.6)=11.75

E.G
  1. Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7+6 divided by 2.She claims the answer is 3.85.Do you agree? i don't agree because if you use BEDMAS you would divided the answer first 6 divided by 2= 3 + 1.7 =4.7
  2. Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value as possible.What problem solving did you use? 3x(2.8)+(6.4)divided by 4=10.9
  3. Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression. (2.5+1.25)+(5x1.6)=14


Anna and Jake calculated 2.5 + 1.25 + 5 x 1.6. Anna got 14, and Jake got 11.75. How do you think they got their answer? Who has the right answer?

Answer(my answer):

I think that Anna did the question like this:

2.5 + 1.25 + 5 x 1.6 = 14


I think that Jake did this:

(2.5 + 1.25) + (5 x 1.6) =

3.75 + 8 =

11

Jake added brackets so that he can make it easier.
