Use a square corner to draw at least three perpendiculars from one parallel line to the other, as shown. Measure the distance between the two parallel lines along the perpendiculars. What do you notice? C. Explain why all the perpendiculars you drew in part B are parallel. D. A parallelogram is a 4-sided polygon with opposite sides parallel. You can draw parallelograms by using anything with parallel sides, like a ruler. Place a ruler across both of the parallel lines and draw a line segment along each side of the ruler.

Area of Parallelogram and Triangle Parallelogram A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. Any pair of parallel sides can be chosen to be the bases. The distance between these two parallel sides is the height. bases height The height is measured along a line perpendicular to the bases. This line can be drawn anywhere. In these pictures, the thick black line is one of the bases and the dashed line is the height. Area of a parallelogram = base height Triangle A triangle is a polygon with three sides. Any side of a triangle can be the base. Draw a perpendicular from the vertex opposite the base to the base. The distance from the vertex to the base along that perpendicular is the height. Sometimes the height is outside the triangle. In these pictures, the thick black line is the base and the dashed line is the height. height base Any triangle is half of a parallelogram with the same base and height. Area of a triangle = base height 2 Blackline Master Measurement Teacher s Guide for Workbook 7.1 G-79
Area of Trapezoid A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. trapezoids not trapezoids The parallel sides are called bases. The distance between the bases is called the height. The height is measured along a line perpendicular to the bases. base 1 height base 2 Sometimes the height is outside the trapezoid. In these pictures, the thick black lines are the bases and the dashed line is the height. You can make a parallelogram from two copies of the same trapezoid. The base of the parallelogram is the sum of the bases of the trapezoid, and the height of the parallelogram is the height of the trapezoid. Area of trapezoid = height (base 1 + base 2) 2 G-80 Blackline Master Measurement Teacher s Guide for Workbook 7.1

Facts About Circles A circle with centre P: all the points on the circle are the same distance from P. A radius: any line segment joining a point on the circle to its centre. The plural of radius is radii. The radius (r): the distance between any point on a circle to P; the length of a radius. centre radii A diameter: a line segment between two points on a circle passing through the centre of the circle. The diameter (d): the distance between any two opposite points on a circle, measured through the centre of the circle; the length of a diameter. A diameter is twice as long as a radius, so d = 2r diameter An angle that has its vertex at the centre of a circle is called a central angle. The sum of the central angles is 360. Example: a + b + c = 360 c a b The distance around a circle is called the circumference (C). The ratio C : d is the same for all circles. When this ratio is converted to a unit rate and we look at it as a number, we see that it is special it has an infinite number of digits after its decimal point and there is no pattern in these digits, so you cannot predict which digit is next. A Greek letter π (pronounced pie ) is used to identify this number. To the nearest hundredth, π = 3.14. To 5 decimal places, π = 3.14159. Another good approximation is 22 22. To three decimal places, the fraction 7 7 = 3.143, and it is often used to approximate π. C : d = π : 1, so C = π d = πd = 2πr. C The area of a circle of radius r is π r 2 = πr 2. Here is an acronym that helps to remember the value of π rounded to 6 decimal places. The number of letters in each word in order gives the digit.
