Units of Length in the English System: Ch. 14 Area, Pythagorean Theorem, and Volume Section 14-1 Linear Measure 1 yard = 3 feet = 36 inches 1 foot = 1 /3 yard = 1 /5280 mile 1 foot = 12 inches 1 inch = 1 /12 foot = 1 /36 yard = 1 /63360 mile 1 mile = 1760 yards = 5280 feet 1 yard = 1 /1760 mile We can convert from one unit of measure to another using dimensional analysis. Example: Convert 64 inches into yards Example: Convert 0.4 miles into feet. Example: Convert 0.875 feet into yards. Example: If a car is traveling at 65 miles per hour, what is its speed in feet per second? Example: Convert 5432 yards per minute into miles per hour 1

Distance Properties: 1. The distance between any two points A and B is greater than or equal to 0. (AB 0) 2. The distance between any two points A and B is the same as the distance between points B and A. (AB = BA) 3. For any three points A, B, and C, the distance between A and B plus the distance between B and C is greater than or equal to the distance between A and C (AB + BC AC) If A, B, and C are collinear and B is in between A and C, then AB + BC = AC. A B C If A, B, and C are NOT collinear (and form a triangle), then AB + BC > AC. This is known as the Triangle Inequality. B A C Example: Two sides of a triangle are 31 cm and 85 cm long and the measure of the third side must be measured in centimeters. a) What is the longest the third side can be? b) What is the shortest the third side can be? 3
Perimeter and Circumference The perimeter of a simple closed curve is the length of the curve. Example: Find the perimeter of the following: a) A square with 5 mm sides. b) A rectangle with length 8 feet and width 3 feet. The perimeter of a circle is called circumference. In the late 18 th century, mathematicians proved that the ratio of circumference to diameter is pi. ie, C d = π So, C = or C = Example: Find the circumference of a circle with : a) A diameter of 12 inches b) A radius of 0.5 cm. Example: If the circumference of a circle is 20π ft, what is the radius of the circle? 4
Arc Length: The length of an arc on a circle depends on the radius and the central angle. Since a circle contains 360, then 1 is 1 360 of a circle; 15 is 15 360 of a circle; etc. θ The length of an arc whose central angle is Ө determines 360 of a circle. The central angle in a semi-circle is, therefore the arc length of a semi-circle is. The central angle in a quarter-circle is, therefore the arc length of a quarter-circle is. Therefore, an arc of Ө will have length. Example: Calculate the length of an arc with: a) Central angle 45 and a radius of 10 mm. b) Central angle 124 and a radius of 5 feet. 5

What are Pythagorean Triples? Special Right Triangles In an isosceles right triangle with the length of each leg a, the hypotenuse has length. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the leg opposite the 30 degree angle, and the leg length opposite the 60 degree angle is times the length of the shorter leg. The Distance Formula: The Distance between two points (, ) (, ) x y and x y is: 1 1 2 2 16
Example: Find the distance between the points ( 2,1) and ( 5,4) Circles are not functions, but we can still write an equation to represent the relationship between the x and y coordinates of every point on a circle. It is based on the distance formula.

Section 14-5 Volume, Mass, and Temperature Converting Measures of Volume: (most common are cm 3 and m 3 ) Each metric unit of length is 10 times as great as the next smaller unit. Each metric unit of area is 100 times as great as the next smaller unit. Each metric unit of volume is 1,000 times as great as the next smaller unit. 1 m 3 = 1,000,000 cm 3 (to go from m 3 to cm 3, move decimal 6 places right) 1 cm 3 = 0.000001 m 3 (to go from cm 3 to m 3, move decimal 6 places left) 1 in 3 = 1 1728 ft3 1 ft 3 = 1 27 yd3 1 yd 3 = 27 ft 3 23

Attributes and Units Measurement is a three-step process: choose an attribute to measure, choose an appropriate unit, determine how many of these units are necessary to find the length, cover, or fill the object. In this activity you will focus on the attribute and the unit. Next to each description are two blanks. In the first blank, label the attribute that is being measured. Attribute choices: L (length), A (area), SA (surface area), V (volume) In the second blank, choose the best unit. Unit Choices: mm, m, km (length) in 2, ft 2, acre (area or surface area) ml, L, kl (volume) Problem Attribute Unit Description 1 L Km The distance from New York City to Chicago 2 The amount of wrapping paper needed to wrap a CD 3 The height of a 5 story building 4 The width of a cockroach 5 The amount of tea in a pitcher 6 The amount of space covered by a bathroom floor 7 The amount of gas in a car s full gas tank 8 The amount of grass in Central Park 9 The amount of fabric needed to cover a couch cushion 10 The width of a two car garage 11 The wingspan of a hummingbird 12 The amount of wall space covered by a light switch 13 The amount of liquid held by a baby bottle 14 The size of a ceiling to be painted 15 The amount of paint needed to paint a ceiling 16 The amount of water in a hot tub 17 The thickness of an iphone 18 The size of a living room rug 19 The size of a label on a soup can 20 The amount of aluminum foil needed to cover a baked potato 28
