from household products to geometry figures
Cylinder:
A cylinder is a non-polyhedral or a three dimensional figure that doesn't have a surface that is flat due to the fact that it's surfaces are curved. Both bases are parallel and congruent and are circles rather than polygons.
Formula's for a cylinder:
Area of base: 2(pie)r(radius)^2, Lateral Area: 2(pie)r(radius)h(height), Surface Area: L.A(lateral Area)+2B(area of base(s)),
Trapezoidal prism
A trapezoidal prism is a six faced three dimensional prism that has six faces which consists of two trapezoids and four rectangles and is also a polyhedra or three dimensional figure with a flat face.
Formula's for a trapezoidal prism:
Area of Base: B1+B2/2(h), Lateral Area: p(perimeter)h, Surface Area: L.A+2B.
Sphere
A sphere is defined as the set of all points in three-dimensional Euclidean space that are located at a distance (the "radius") from a given point (the"center"). Twice the radius is called the diameter, and pairs of points on the sphere on opposite sides of a diameter are called antipodes . A sphere is also a non-polyherdra as well.
Sphere's formula's:
Surface Area | , formula for the radius: |
Square prism
A square prism is a three dimensional polyhedra with six congruent faces, faces that join along their edges or line segment were two edges meet and vertex's meet as well or point where three edges meet, a square prism has eight vertices.
Square prism's formula's:
Area of Base: s^2,Lateral Area: ph, Surface Area: L.A+2B
Rectangular Prism
A rectangular prism is a six sided three dimensional polyhedra a figure that has six rectangles, this is known as a prism because it has the same cross section along this figure.
Rectangular prism's formula's:
Area of base: B(base)*h, Lateral Area: ph, Surface Area: L.A. +2B or 2lw+2lh+2hw(l:length.w:width,and h:height)

(3-20-2012)Aim: How do we find the area of a circle?
Circle Area Conjecture
The area of a circle is given by the formula A= πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius of the circle.
The circumference of the circle is given by the formula C=πd. Where c is the circumference and d is the diameter of the circle.
Area Example
A= πr^2
π4^2(4*4)
Answer:16πcm^2
or
Answer:16π= 50.24cm^2
Circumference example
A chocolate chip cookie has a diameter of 3in and a butterscotch cookie has a diameter of 5in. How much larger in circumference of the butterscotch cookie is to the chocolate chip cookie?
C= πdChocolate chip: C=3π in
Butterscotch: C=5π in
5π -3π= 2π in^2
Answer: 2π in^2
or
Chocolatechip: 3π = 9.42 in
Butterscotch: 5 π = 15.7 in
15.7-9.42= 6.28
Answer: 6.28 in^2
Answers: 2π in^2 or 6.28 in^2

A circle has the diameter of 14cm. What is the circumference and area of the circle?
*Remember the radius is half the diameter.
Answer:
Circumference: 14π
Area: 196π
Aim: How do we find the area of regular polygons?
(3-19-2012)Aim: How do we find the area of regular polygons?
Area of an isosceles triangle with altitude a, and base s.
Area of a regular polygon
You can divide a regular polygon into congruent isosceles triangle by drawing segments in a vertex.
https://www.cdli.ca/courses/math1204/unit06_org02_ilo02/les02_002.gif
Area of each isoscles triangle with altitude regular pentagon
A= sa/2(?)-number or amount of sides the figure has or 1/2as(?)-number or amount of sides the figure has
a--altitude
s--side
A--area
Perimeter: (?)s
(?)--number of sides
s--side value
http://doversherborn.comcastbiz.net/highschool/academics/math/baroody/GeometryHonors/Class%20Notes/Chapter%2011/Lesson11-5/RegularPentagon.gif
For pentagon: A=sa/2(5)--Because there are five sides of the pentagon
Perimeter formula for pentagon: 5s
Area of hexagon
as/2(6) or 1/2as(6)
Perimeter:6s

Regular Polygon Area Conjecture
The area of a polygon is given by the formula 1/2P*a, where a is the area, p is the perimeter. Also the formula that is more frequently used 1/2nas or nas/2 in which a is the apothem. The apothem is a perpendicular segment from the center to the side of the polygon.
Example:

S stands for the length of each side and n is the number of sides of the polygon.

Aim: How do we find the area of parallelograms, kites and trapezoids?
Aim: How do we find the area of parallelograms, kites and trapezoids?
Answer:
Area of parallelograms:
The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula which is the same as a rectangle which is b*h=a, where A is the area, B is the length of the base and h is the height of the parallelogram.
Example:
http://www.k6-geometric-shapes.com/image-files/formula-area-parallelogram.jpg
b*h=a
6*5=a
a= 30
http://image.tutorvista.com/content/feed/tvcs/470u93ki057suuw74ft.jpg
Area of a Trapezoid:
The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula A=(b1+b2)/2*h or A= 1/2h(b1+b2) where A is the area,b1 is the first or top base, b2 is the second or bottom base and h is the height of the trapezoid.
Example:
http://www.calculateme.com/cArea/area-of-trapezoid.gif
A=(b1+b2)/2*h
A=(2.5+6)/2*5
A=(8.5)/2*5
A=4.25*5
A= 21.25

Area of Kites:
The area of a kite is given by the formula A=(d1*d2)/2, where A is the area, d1 is the first diagonal, d2 is the second diagonal.
Example:
