How you can add the vectors?
1) Graphically. Move one of the vectors (without rotating it) so
that its tail coincides with the head of the other vector.
2) Analytically (mathematically), by adding components. For
example, in two dimensions, separate each vector into an
x-component and a y-component, and add the components of the
different vectors.

The diagram shows the parallelogram inside a rectangle with base $a+c$ and height $b+d$. This rectangle has area $(a+c)(b+d)$. If we could find the areas of the triangles outside the parallelogram, then we could subtract them from the area of the rectangle to find the area of the parallelogram.
The bottom triangle has height $b$ and base $a+c$, so has area $\frac{1}{2}b(a+c)$.
The triangle on the left has (if you imagine it on its side so that its base is at the bottom) base $b+d$ and height $c$, so has area $\frac{1}{2}c(b+d)$.
The triangle at the top is congruent to the triangle at the bottom (it has been rotated by $180^{\circ}$), so has area $\frac{1}{2}b(a+c)$.
The triangle on the right is congruent to the triangle on the left, so has area $\frac{1}{2}c(b+d)$.
So the area of the parallelogram is $$(a+c)(b+d)-2\times\frac{1}{2}b(a+c) -2\times\frac{1}{2}c(b+d)=$$
$$a b+b c+a d+c d-a b-b c-b c-c d=a d-b c$$

Hint: If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the areas of both the triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their corresponding sides. Here the ratio of the sides of the triangles is given. Using this, we are finding the ratio of their areas. 2. Let the point at which the line $ 3x + 4y = 7 $ touches the line segment joining the points $ \left( {1,2} \right) $ and $ \left( { - 2,1} \right) $ is $ P\left( {x,y} \right) $ and divides the line segment in the ratio $ m:n $ , then the coordinates of P can be found by $ x = \dfrac{{m{x_2} + n{x_1}}}{{m + n}},y = \dfrac{{m{y_2} + n{y_1}}}{{m + n}} $ , where $ \left( {{x_1},{y_1}} \right),\left( {{x_2},{y_2}} \right) $ are the given points. The point $ P\left( {x,y} \right) $ lies on the line $ 3x + 4y = 7 $ . So substitute its coordinates in the place of x and y of $ 3x + 4y = 7 $ to find the ratio of m and n.
Complete step-by-step answer: 1. We are given that the triangle ABC is similar to the triangle PQR.
Note: Do not confuse similar triangles with congruent triangles, because congruent triangles have similar three sides and angles which mean similar areas, whereas the areas may or may not be the same in similar triangles. Congruent triangles are always similar whereas similar triangles may not be congruent always. A line can divide another line both internally and externally. When a line divides a line segment AB internally it produces a division point between A and B whereas when externally it produces a division point outside AB.

Consider a homographic relation between two lines [a] and [b]. This can be realized by a function z = (a*x+b)/(c*x+d) between the points of the two lines. Here we identify point X with the real number (denoted by x) such that the following equation between oriented segment-lengths on line [a] is valid: [A1,X] = x[A1,A2]. Analogously on line [b]: [B1,Z] = z[B1,B2]. The homographic relation between the two lines amounts to a relation between the coordinates of points z and x: z = (a*x+b)/(c*x+d). The (dual) Chasles-Steiner method of definition describes a conic as the geometric locus of envelopes of lines [XZ]. For the geometric construction of the homography look at the file Line_Homography.html .
In the figure above, free movable (Ctrl+1) are the points {A1, A2, B1, B2} defining lines [a], [b]. X is a variable (Ctrl+2) point on line [a]. Z is a point on line [b] whose coordinate z depends on the coordinate x of X: z = (a*x+b)/(c*x+d). This defines line [XZ] which, for varying X (and its coordinate x) envelopes a conic. The dual construction of conics through homographies between pencils of lines is illustrated in the document Chasles_Steiner.html .

If the smaller angle in the image is 30 degrees, then the bigger one is _____ degrees.
Explanation If the smaller angle in the image is 30 degrees, then the bigger angle would be twice its size, which is 60 degrees. This is because angles that are opposite each other and formed by intersecting lines are known as vertical angles, and they are always congruent or equal in measure. Therefore, if one angle is 30 degrees, the other angle must also be 30 degrees, making the total measure of the bigger angle 60 degrees.

Question Video: Finding the Angle between a Vector and Its Horizontal Component
Physics • First Year of Secondary School04:33
Video TranscriptOkay, looking at our square grid, we see these three vectors, the red vector, the green vector, and the blue one. And we're told that the green and the blue are components of the red vector. Specifically, the green vector represents the vertical component of the red, and the blue vector represents its horizontal component.
Along with the square grid and these three vectors, we see a protractor aligned so that 90 degrees on the protractor aligns with the green vertical component vector and zero degrees on the protractor aligns with the blue vector. And moreover, the tail of the red vector is positioned right where those vertical and horizontal lines intersect. This means our protractor is in the perfect position to help us answer this question. What is the angle between the red vector and it's horizontal component, that is the blue vector?
If we were to sketch this angle in on our grid, it would look like this, starting at the red vector and going to the blue vector, the horizontal component of the red vector. We could give this angle a name. We could call it 𝜃. And it's the 𝜃 that we want to solve for. The way we'll do it is by reading this angular distance on our protractor. Now, there are a couple of different ways to do this.
Notice, for example, that on the outside of our protractor, the angles go from zero degrees on the left all the way up to 180 degrees on the right. While on what we could call the inner layer, they go the opposite direction, starting at 180 ending at zero. The reason for these scales going in opposite directions is to make it straightforward to always measure a positive angle with our protractor. And indeed, the angle we'll measure, the angle we've called 𝜃, will be a positive value.
One way to measure it is to start at zero degrees on the right-hand side of our protractor and move up from there until we reach the red vector line. Notice, though, that on this interior scale of angles, the one we've indicated in pink, the finest resolution of angles is 10 degrees. That is, it goes from 180 to 170 to 160 degrees to 150 to 140 and so on. On the other hand, the outermost scale, the one we're indicating in orange, has a resolution down to one degree. We can see this by counting the tick marks on that scale.
Say we start at 50 degrees right here, then we count one, two, three, four, five tick marks to the halfway point, and then continuing on six, seven, eight, nine, 10 tick marks to get up to 60 degrees from 50. This confirms that the angular distance between adjacent tick marks is one degree. And that tells us if we measure using this outermost scale, we can record the value of 𝜃 to the nearest degree. So, then, let's use this outer scale to measure 𝜃, and here's how we'll do it.
We can see the red vector crosses the outermost angle scale right here. And if we count tick marks, that's one tick mark, two tick marks away from the angle marked out as 130 degrees. Since those two tick marks are in the direction of a smaller degree measure, in the direction of 120 degrees. That means that if we start from zero degrees on the outermost scale and then work our way all the way around to the angle that we've just measured, that angular measure will be 130 minus two degrees, or 128 degrees.
But we can see that that's not the value of 𝜃. 𝜃, rather, is the difference between the angle we've just measured and 180 degrees. That's because if we started at zero degrees on our outermost angle scale and worked all the way around until we reached the blue horizontal component of the red vector, we would've crossed through 180 degrees. So, to find 𝜃, to find the angle between the red vector and its horizontal component, we'll subtract 128 degrees from 180 degrees. That subtraction will give us this angular distance right here, the one we've called 𝜃, what we want to solve for.
180 degrees minus 128 degrees is 52 degrees. That's our answer. And if we look back to the innermost angle scale, the one that goes in the reverse direction of the outer angle scale. We see that this supports our result that the red vector looks to be just past 50 degrees on that angle scale. Our final answer, then, is that the angle between the red vector and its horizontal component is 52 degrees.

Hint: Before attempting this question, one should have prior knowledge about the concept of acute angles and also remember that angles less than ${90^ \circ }$are named as acute angles, use this information to approach the solution.
Complete step-by-step solution: We know that angles which measure less than ${90^ \circ }$ As we have to write down the measures of some acute angles So, now we know that every angle which satisfies the condition $\theta < {90^ \circ }$is an acute angle so the measures of some acute angles will be ${75^ \circ },{60^ \circ },{45^ \circ }$, etc. The angle ${75^ \circ }$can be shown as
The angle ${60^ \circ }$ can be shown as
And the angle ${45^ \circ }$ can be shown as
Some examples of acute angles are acute triangles Where each angle measure less than ${90^ \circ }$
Note: In the above solution we discussed the acute angle there are also some more types of angles such as obtuse angle and acute angle where obtuse angle are the angles which are measured greater than ${90^ \circ }$ whereas angle which is equal to ${90^ \circ }$ is named as a right angle. The right angle is shown as:

What is the formula for rotation in geometry?
180 degrees is (-a, -b) and 360 is (a, b). 360 degrees doesn't change since it is a full rotation or a full circle. Also this is for a counterclockwise rotation. If you want to do a clockwise rotation follow these formulas: 90 = (b, -a); 180 = (-a, -b); 270 = (-b, a); 360 = (a, b).
What is a half turn in rotation?
A half turn is 180 degrees. Just like whole turns, they can be clockwise or counterclockwise.
What is the formula for 270 degrees counterclockwise?
270 Degree Rotation When rotating a point 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin our point A(x,y) becomes A'(y,-x). This means, we switch x and y and make x negative.
What is Earth's rotation cycle?
Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, but once every 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds with respect to other, distant, stars (see below). Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past. This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth's rotation.
What is the rule for a rotation?
Rules of Rotation The general rule for rotation of an object 90 degrees is (x, y) ——–> (-y, x). The rules for the other common degree rotations are: For 180 degrees, the rule is (x, y) ——–> (-x, -y) For 270 degrees, the rule is (x, y) ——–> (y, -x)

3.1.2 Angles, Parallel Lines, and Transversals Key Objectives • Prove and use theorems about the angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal. Theorems, Postulates, Corollaries, and Properties • Corresponding Angles Postulate If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent. • Alternate Interior Angles Theorem If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent. • Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the two pairs of alternate exterior angles are congruent. • Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the two pairs of same-side interior angles are supplementary. Example 1 Using Congruent Angle Theorems and Postulates
By the Corresponding Angles Postulate, if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent. Corresponding angles are on the same side of the transversal and on the same sides of the other lines. By the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent. Alternate interior angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and on the inside of the other two lines. There are two pairs of alternate interior angles in the figure given here. ∠ 1 and ∠ 3 are alternate interior angles, as well as ∠ 2 and ∠ 4. By the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem, if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate exterior angles are congruent. Alternate exterior angles are on opposite sides of the transversal and on the outside of the other two lines.

Mathematics Lesson Note For SS2 (ThirdTerm)
Below are the 2022 complete SS2 Third Term Mathematics Lesson Note
Week 1
Introduction to Trigonometric Ratios
Trigonometry is the study of triangles in relation to their sides and angles and many other areas which find applications in many disciplines. In particular, trigonometry functions have come to play great roles in science. For example, in physics, it is used when we want to analyse different kinds of waves, like sound waves, radio waves, light waves, etc. Also trigonometric ideas are of great importance to surveying, navigation and engineering.
We shall, however at this stage be concerned with the elementary ideas of trigonometry and their application.
Trigonometrical Ratios (Sine, Cosine and Tangent)
The basic trigonometric ratios are defined in terms of the sides of a right-angled triangle. It is necessary to recall that in a right-angled ∆ABC, with LC = 900, the side AB opposite the 900 is called the hypotenuse.
The notion that there should be some standard correspondence between the lengths of the sides of a triangle and the angles of the triangle comes as soon as one recognizes that similar triangles maintain the same ratios between their sides. That is, for any similar triangle the ratio of the hypotenuse (for example) and another of the sides remains the same. If the hypotenuse is twice as long, so are the sides. It is these ratios that the trigonometric functions express. To learn more, click here
WEEK 2
Introduction
A Tangent of a Circle has two defining properties:
A tang
ent intersects a circle in exactly one place
The tangent intersects the circle's radius at a 90° angle
Since a tangent only touches the circle at exactly one and only one point, that point must be perpendicular to a radius.
To test out the interconnected relationship of these two defining traits of a tangent, try the interactive applet.
The point where the tangent and the circle intersect is called the point of tangency. To learn more, click here
WEEK 3
Trigonometry: Derivation of Sine Rule and Application; Derivation of Cosins Rule and Application
Introduction
The sine rule formula states that the ratio of a side to the sine function applied to the corresponding angle is same for all sides of the triangle. For a triangle ABC, sine rule can be stated as given below:
The sine rule formula can be used to find the measure of unknown angle or side of a triangle. It can be used to predict unknown values for two congruent triangles.
If for a given triangle, a, b, and c are the lengths of sides , and A, B, and C are the opposite angles then the sine rule formula is also stated as the reciprocal of this equation:
Derivation of Sine Rule
To derive the formula, erect an altitude through B and label it hB as shown below. Expressing hB in terms of the side and the sine of the angle will lead to the formula of the sine law. To learn more, click here

Bearings: Angles of Elevation and Depression
Introduction to Angles of Elevation and Depression
Any surface which is parallel to the surface of the earth is said to be horizontal. For example, the surface of liquid in a container is always horizontal, even if the container is held at an angle.
The floor of your classroom is horizontal. Any line drawn on horizontal surface is will also be horizontal. Any line or surface which is perpendicular to a surface is said to be vertical. The walls of your classroom are vertical. A plum-line is a mass which hangs freely on a thread.

This short video shows you how to plotting a cumulative frequency curve from the frequency distribution. How to find the median and inter-quartile range.
The Median Value
The median of a group of numbers is the number in the middle, when the numbers are in order of magnitude. For example, if the set of numbers is 4, 1, 6, 2, 6, 7, 8, the median is 6: 1, 2, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8 (6 is the middle value when the numbers are in order) If you have n numbers in a group, the median is the (n + 1)/2 th value. For example, there are 7 numbers in the example above, so replace n by 7 and the median is the (7 + 1)/2 th value = 4th value. The 4th value is 6.
When dealing with a cumulative frequency curve, "n" is the cumulative frequency (25 in the above example). Therefore the median would be the 13th value. To find this, on the cumulative frequency curve, find 13 on the y-axis (which should be labelled cumulative frequency). The corresponding 'x' value is an estimation of the median.

The next natural question is: how do we convert a number from another base into base 10? For example, what does 42015 mean? Just like base 10, the first digit to the left of the decimal place tells us how many 50's we have, the second tells us how many 51's we have, and so forth. Therefore:
It turns out that converting from base 10 to other bases is far harder for us than converting from other bases to base 10. This shouldn't be a suprise, though. We work in base 10 all the time so we are naturally less comfortable with other bases. Nonetheless, it is important to understand how to convert from base 10 into other bases.

How To Find An Angle With A Speed Square
When it comes to woodworking and construction, finding the correct angle is crucial to ensuring that your project is accurate and safe. One tool that can make this process easier is a speed square. In this article, we will discuss how to find an angle with a speed square, step by step.
Step 1: Understand the Basics of a Speed Square
Before we dive into how to find an angle with a speed square, it's important to understand the basics of this tool. A speed square is a multi-functional tool that can be used to measure angles, mark cuts, and square up corners. It has two main components: the body and the tongue. The body is the flat, triangular-shaped part of the tool, while the tongue is the shorter, perpendicular piece that protrudes from the body.
Step 2: Set Up Your Speed Square
To begin finding an angle with your speed square, you'll need to set it up properly. Start by placing the body of the speed square against the edge of the material you're working with. Make sure it's flush with the edge, then hold it in place with one hand.
Step 3: Determine the Angle You Need
The next step is to determine the angle you need. This will depend on the specific project you're working on. For example, if you're building a roof, you may need to find a 45-degree angle. If you're making a picture frame, you may need a 90-degree angle.
Step 4: Align the Tongue
Once you've determined the angle you need, it's time to align the tongue of the speed square. Move the tongue up or down until it lines up with the angle you need. You can use the markings on the body of the speed square to help guide you.
Step 5: Mark Your Angle
Once you've aligned the tongue with your desired angle, it's time to mark it. Hold the speed square firmly against the material, then use a pencil or marker to mark the angle along the tongue. This will give you a clear line to follow when making your cut.
Step 6: Double Check Your Angle
Before making any cuts, it's important to double check your angle. Use a protractor or angle finder to ensure that your angle is correct. This will help you avoid any mistakes that could ruin your project.
FAQs
How do I find a 45-degree angle with a speed square?
To find a 45-degree angle with a speed square, align the tongue of the tool with the 45-degree mark on the body. Then, mark your angle along the tongue and double check it with a protractor or angle finder.
Can I use a speed square to find angles on curved materials?
No, a speed square is designed for use on flat materials only. If you need to find an angle on a curved surface, you'll need to use a different tool, such as a bevel gauge.
Can I use a speed square to make angled cuts with a circular saw?
Yes, a speed square can be used to guide a circular saw when making angled cuts. Simply line up the tool with your desired angle, then use it as a guide for your saw.
Conclusion
Learning how to find an angle with a speed square can be a valuable skill for anyone working in woodworking or construction. By following these steps and taking the time to double check your angles, you can ensure that your projects are accurate and safe. Remember to always use caution when working with power tools, and to wear appropriate safety gear.

Introduction
A triangle is a two-dimensional (2D) shape with three sides, three angles and three vertices. It can be classified based on its angle measurements or lengths of sides. Triangles may be equilateral, isosceles, or scalene based on the lengths of sides.
We shall discuss the description of the scalene triangle, its properties, and a few examples with solutions about its area and perimeter in this article.
Scalene Triangle
Definition
A triangle with three different side lengths and three different angle measurements is called a scalene triangle. The total of all interior angles of a scalene triangle is always equal to 180 degrees.
An illustration of a scalene triangle is shown in the picture below. The hatch "|" symbol on each side denotes that each side has different measurements. The angles A, B, and C also have different measurements.
Measuring Scalene Triangles
It will be helpful to use tools to identify whether a triangle is a scalene since a scalene triangle is one with three different side lengths and three different angle measurements.
We can easily measure each side of the triangle using a ruler. If all sides have different lengths, then the triangle is scalene. To measure angles, we may use a protractor.
Properties of Scalene Triangles
The following are the properties of scalene triangles:
A scalene triangle has no equal sides.
All sides of scalene triangles have different lengths. The figure below shows some examples of scalene triangles.
The triangle on the left uses the hatch mark "|" to indicate the triangle's side lengths, whether they are equal or if there are none if the exact length is not specified. It is a scalene triangle because no two sides of the triangle have an equal number of hatch marks. The right triangle uses numbers to clearly represent the triangle's side lengths.
The Angles of a scalene triangle are not equal.
In a scalene triangle, each angle is not equal. As shown in the illustration below, angles A, B, and C do not have the same measurement.
If a shape is rotated and still retains its original appearance, this is known as rotational symmetry. When a shape is rotated at a full turn, the number of times its original shape fits within the shape is the order of rotational symmetry.
The diagram below shows an example of a scalene triangle rotated at different angles 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees and 360 degrees. Since a scalene triangle fits onto its original shape when rotated 360 degrees or fully, it has rotational symmetry of order 1.
Scalene triangles have no line of symmetry.
A triangle's symmetry line must pass through just one of its vertices. Only if the lengths of the two sides that meet at that vertex are equal can there be a line of symmetry. The line of symmetry at a vertex that connects two sides when they do have the same length also travels through the middle of the opposite side. As shown below, an equilateral triangle has 3 lines of symmetry, an isosceles triangle has 1 line of symmetry, while a scalene triangle has no line of symmetry.
A line of symmetry cannot exist in a scalene triangle because its sides are not equal. Furthermore, it cannot be split into two identical pieces.
The greatest angle would be the angle that is opposite the longest side and vice versa.
The greatest measurement in a triangle is the angle across from the longest side and vice versa. As shown below, the longest side AC has the measure of 9 cm, and the angle opposite to it measures 87 degrees which is the greatest among the three angles of the scalene triangle.
The smallest angle would be the angle that is opposite the shortest side and vice versa.
The smallest measurement in a triangle is the angle across from the smallest side and vice versa. As shown below, the shortest side BC has the measure of 5 cm, and the angle opposite to it measures 33 degrees which is the smallest among the three angles of the scalene triangle.
Types of Scalene Triangles
The three types of scalene triangles are as follows:
Acute Scalene Triangle
A triangle with angles that are less than 90 degrees and different measurements for each of its three sides and angles is known as an acute scalene triangle. The image below is an example of an acute scalene triangle whose angles are 40 degrees, 60 degrees and 80 degrees.
Obtuse scalene triangle
If one of a triangle's angles is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees, and the other two angles are both less than 90 degrees, the triangle is said to be an obtuse scalene triangle. Simply put, the other two angles are acute, whereas the one is obtuse. All three sides and angles have different measurements.
In the figure below, angle A is an obtuse angle since its measure is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. Angles B and C are both acute angles whose measures are both less than 90 degrees.
Right scalene triangle
A right scalene triangle combines the characteristics of both a right angle and a scalene triangle, where one angle is 90 degrees, the other two are less than 90 degrees, and all of the sides are of varying lengths.
An illustration of a right scalene triangle is shown below. Angle B and C are both acute angles that are less than 90 degrees, but Angle A is a right angle that is exactly 90 degrees. The sides have a different measure, as shown by the hatch markings "|".
The comparison of the three varieties of scalene triangles according to their sides and angles is shown in the table below:
Types of Scalene Triangles
Sides
Angles
Acute Scalene Triangle
The sides of an acute scalene triangle are different in measure.
An acute scalene triangle has acute angles of various measurement, adding up to 180 degrees in total.
Obtuse Scalene Triangle
The sides of obtuse scalene triangles are different in measure.
An obtuse scalene triangle has two other angles that are both less than 90 degrees and a third angle that is more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. The sum of the three angles is equal to 180 degrees.
Right Scalene Triangle
The sides of a right scalene triangle are different in measure.
One of the angles in a right scalene triangle is 90 degrees, while the other two are less than 90 degrees. These angles add up to a total of 180 degrees.
How do you determine the perimeter of a scalene triangle?
The total distance surrounding a triangle or its boundary is known as its perimeter. The formula for calculating a scalene triangle's perimeter uses the formula for calculating any triangle's perimeter, which is the total of all the triangles' side lengths.
P=a+b+c
where P is the perimeter, and a, b, and c are the side lengths
Example 1
Find the perimeter of a scalene triangle whose sides are 6, 8, and 9 cm in length.
Solution:
Let a=6 cm , b=8 cm and c=9 cm.
Using the formula in getting the perimeter of a triangle, we have,
Perimeter=a+b+c
Perimeter=6 cm+8 cm+9 cm
Perimeter=23 cm
Hence, the perimeter of the triangle is 23 cm.
Example 2
In reference to the figure below, calculate its perimeter.
Solution:
Let us calculate the perimeter of ∆ABC by getting the sum of its side lengths. We have,
Perimeter=12 in+15 in+20 in
Perimeter=47 in
Therefore, the perimeter of ∆ABC is 47 inches.
How do you calculate a scalene triangle's area?
The space occupied by a flat surface inside a scalene triangle is known as its area. We may use specific formulas in calculating a scalene triangle's area depending on the given measurements of the triangle.
Base and Height of a Scalene Triangle are Known
When the base and height of a scalene triangle are known, the formula for getting its area is given by
In the figure above, the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex and notice that it forms a right angle with the base.
Example 1
Calculate the area of a scalene triangle with a base of 10 units and a height of 5 units.
Solution:
Let us use the formula, Area=½×base×h, to calculate the area of the given triangle.
Area=½×10 units×5 units
Area=½×50 units2
Area=25 units2
Therefore, the area of the scalene triangle is 25 square units.
Example 2
With a base of 12 cm and a height of 7 cm, calculate the area of the scalene triangle.
Solution:
Let us substitute the given values to the formula for finding the area of a triangle. We have,
Area=½×base×height
Area=½ ( 12 cm )( 7 cm )
Area=½ ( 84 cm2)
Area=$\frac{84}{2}$ cm2
Area=42 cm2
Therefore, the area of the scalene triangle is 42 square centimetres.
All Three sides of a scalene triangle are Known (using Heron's Formula)
Given by is Heron's formula for calculating the area of a scalene triangle.
Area=$\sqrt{S (S-a)(S-b)(S-c)}$
where the variable S is the semi-perimeter, and a,b, and c are the side lengths
The semi-perimeter S is given by the formula S=$\frac{a+b+c}{2}$.
Example 1
Calculate the area of a scalene triangle with sides that are 80, 92, and 120 cm long.
Solution:
Let us find the semi perimeter of the scalene triangle by using the formula S=$\frac{a+b+c}{2}$.. Hence, we have,
S=$\frac{80+92+120}{2}$
S=$\frac{292}{2}$
S=146 cm.
Since we already know that the semi-perimeter of the given scalene triangle is 146 cm., let us now use Heron's formula to find its area.
Area=$\sqrt{S (S-a)(S-b)(S-c)}$
Area=$\sqrt{146 (146-80)(146-92)(146-120)}$
Area=$\sqrt{146 (66)(54)(26)}$
Area=$\sqrt{13528944}$
Area≈3678.17 cm2
Therefore, the area of the given scalene triangle is 3678.17 square centimetres.
Example 2
Calculate the area of a scalene triangle with side lengths 3 cm, 6 cm, and 7 cm.
Solution:
Let us find the semi perimeter of the scalene triangle by using the formula S=$\frac{a+b+c}{2}$. Hence, we have,
S=$\frac{3+6+7}{2}$
S=$\frac{16}{2}$
S=8 cm.
Let us now have Heron's formula to calculate the area of the given scalene triangle. Substituting the computed value of the triangle's semi-perimeter, we have,
Area=$\sqrt{S (S-a)(S-b)(S-c)}$
Area=$\sqrt{8 (8-3)(8-6)(8-7)}$
Area=$\sqrt{8 (5)(2)(1)}$
Area=$\sqrt{80}$
Area=4$\sqrt{5}$ cm2
Therefore, the area of the given scalene triangle is 4$\sqrt{5}$ square centimetres.
How to Identify Scalene Triangles Using Distance Formula?
Let us say that we are asked to determine whether a scalene triangle is formed by the three provided coordinate points. Since a scalene triangle has unequal sides, we must obtain different measures when comparing the distances of each side of the triangle using the distance formula. We will use the distance formula d=$\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ to determine the distance between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
Example 1
Show that the triangle with the vertices, L (0,1), M (2, 3 ), and N (4, -5) is scalene.
Solution:
The figure below shows the three points when graphing and forming a triangle.
We must apply the distance formula to determine how far apart the three sides LM, MN, and LN are, as the objective is to determine whether the three points form a scalene triangle.
Distance of side LM
Let us have the coordinates of point L (0,1) be (x1, y1) while the coordinates of point M 2, 3 be (x2,y2). Using the distance formula, we have,
LM=$\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$
LM=$\sqrt{(2-0)^2+(3-1)^2}$
LM=$\sqrt{2^2+2^2}$
LM=$\sqrt{4+4}$
LM=$\sqrt{8}$
LM=2$\sqrt{2}$
Distance of side MN
Let us use the coordinates of point M (2,3) as (x1, y1), and the coordinate of point N 4, -5 be (x2,y2). Using the distance formula, we have,
MN=$\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$
MN=$\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(-5-3)^2}$
MN=$\sqrt{2^2+(-8)^2}$
MN=$\sqrt{4+64}$
MN=$\sqrt{68}$
MN=2$\sqrt{17}$
Distance of side LN
Let us use the coordinates of point L (0,1) as (x1, y1), and the coordinate of point N 4, -5 be (x2,y2). Using the distance formula, we have,
LN=$\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$
LN=$\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(-5-1)^2}$
LN=$\sqrt{4^2+(-6)^2}$
LN=$\sqrt{16+36}$
LN=$\sqrt{52}$
LN=2$\sqrt{13}$
∆LMN is a scalene triangle since the lengths of the sides of the triangle are 2$\sqrt{2}$, 2$\sqrt{17}$, and 2$\sqrt{13}$, which are all different measures.
Example 2
Using the distance formula, show that the given triangle below is scalene.
Solution:
The coordinates of the vertices are P 6, 7, Q 7, -1 and R (2, 5 ). To show that the triangle is scalene, we must obtain different lengths of the three sides, PR, PQ, and QR, using the distance formula.
Distance of side PR
Let us have the coordinates of point P (6,7) be (x1, y1) while the coordinates of point R 2, 5 be (x2,y2). Using the distance formula, we have,
PR=$\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$
PR=$\sqrt{(2-6)^2+(5-7)^2}$
PR=$\sqrt{(-4)^2+(-2)^2}$
PR=$\sqrt{16+4}$
PR=$\sqrt{20}$
PR=$2\sqrt{5}$
Distance of side PQ
Let us use the coordinates of point P (6,7) as (x1, y1), and the coordinate of point Q 7, -1 be (x2,y2). Using the distance formula, we have,
PQ=$\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$
PQ=$\sqrt{(7-6)^2+(-1-7)^2}$
PQ=$\sqrt{(-1)^2+(-8)^2}$
PQ=$\sqrt{1+64}$
PQ=$\sqrt{65}$
Distance of side QR
Let us use the coordinates of point Q (7, -1) as (x1, y1), and the coordinate of point R 2, 5 be (x2,y2). Using the distance formula, we have,
QR=$\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$
QR=$\sqrt{(2-7)^2+(5-(-1))^2}$
QR=$\sqrt{(2-7)^2+(5+1)^2}$
QR=$\sqrt{(-5)^2+(6)^2}$
QR=$\sqrt{25+36}$
QR=$\sqrt{61}$
∆QPR is a scalene triangle since the lengths of the sides of the triangle are $2\sqrt{5}$, $\sqrt{65}$, and $\sqrt{61}$, which are all different measures.
Summary
Definition
A triangle with three different side lengths and three different angle measurements is called a scalene triangle. The total of all interior angles of a scalene triangle is always equal to 180 degrees.
We may use a ruler or a protractor to measure a scalene triangle's side lengths and angle.
How to identify a scalene triangle?
We need to be familiar with a scalene triangle's properties in order to recognize it. The following is a list of scalene triangles' properties.
( a ) A scalene triangle has no equal sides.
( b ) Angles of a scalene triangle are not equal.
( c ) Scalene Triangles have rotational symmetry of order 1.
( d ) Scalene triangles have no line of symmetry.
( e ) The greatest angle would be the angle that is opposite the longest side and vice versa.
( f ) The smallest angle would be the angle that is opposite the shortest side and vice versa.
What are the types of scalene triangles?
The table below shows the three types of scalene triangles and their characteristics.
Acute Scalene Triangle
Obtuse scalene triangle
Right scalene triangle
A triangle with angles that are less than 90 degrees and different measurements for each of its three sides and angles is known as an acute scalene triangle.
If one of a triangle's angles is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees, and the other two angles are both less than 90 degrees, the triangle is said to be an obtuse scalene triangle.
A right scalene triangle combines the characteristics of both a right angle and a scalene triangle, where one angle is 90 degrees, the other two are less than 90 degrees, and all of the sides are of varying lengths.
What are the different classifications of triangles?
Based on the angle and side length measurements, there are various types of triangles. If we classify triangles according to the interior sides, the types are acute triangle, right triangle, and obtuse triangle. If triangles are classified according to the side lengths, we have equilateral, isosceles, and scalene.
The table below shows the types of triangles according to the interior sides.
Types of Triangles
Angles
Acute Triangle
When all three of the triangle's internal angles are acute, a triangle is said to be an acute triangle. An acute angle is one with a measurement between 0° and 90°.
Right Triangle
If one of a triangle's angles is 90 degrees, the triangle is said to be a right triangle.
Obtuse Triangle
When one of the triangle's internal angles is obtuse, a triangle is said to be an obtuse triangle. Obtuse angles are those that are greater than 90 degrees.
The table below shows the type of triangle according to the side lengths.
Types of Triangles
Angles
Sides
Equilateral Triangle
An equilateral triangle has angles that are each 60 degrees in measure.
An equilateral triangle has three equal sides.
Isosceles Triangle
In an isosceles triangle, the angles that face equal sides are also equal.
Any two sides of an isosceles triangle are equal.
Scalene Triangle
All three angles of a scalene triangle are unequal.
All three sides of a scalene triangle are unequal.
What are examples of side lengths that form a scalene triangle?
The following are examples of side lengths that will form a scalene triangle.
(a) 10 , 12 , 15
(b) 8 , 4, 7
(c) 11, 17, 19
(d) 21, 18, 12
(e) 13, 17, 10
While the side lengths of a scalene triangle differ, we must also be aware of the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which stipulates that the total of any two sides of a triangle is higher than the length of the third side, in order to determine whether the provided side lengths create a triangle.
Let us say we have side lengths a, b, and c; the following inequalities hold:
a+b>c
a+c>b
b+c>a

Hint: The angle at which the two plane mirrors are placed decides the number of images one can obtain of a single object. As the angle between the two mirrors decreases, the number of images formed increases.
Formula Used: The number of images formed of a single object when two plane mirrors are placed at an angle $\theta $ is given by, $n = \dfrac{{360^\circ }}{\theta } - 1$ .
Complete step by step answer: Step 1: List the data given in the question. It is given that two plane mirrors placed at some angle produce three images of the single object. Let $\theta $ be the angle between those two plane mirrors and let $n = 3$ be the number of images formed by the two mirrors. Step 2: Obtain an expression for the angle between the two mirrors. The number of images formed of a single object when two plane mirrors are placed at an angle $\theta $ is given by, $n = \dfrac{{360^\circ }}{\theta } - 1$ . We rearrange the above relation to get, $\theta = \dfrac{{360^\circ }}{{n + 1}}$ ------- (1) Step 3: Find the angle at which the two mirrors are placed using equation (1). We have the number of images formed as $n = 3$ . Equation (1) gives us, $\theta = \dfrac{{360^\circ }}{{n + 1}}$ Substituting the value for $n = 3$ in equation (1) we get, $\theta = \dfrac{{360^\circ }}{{3 + 1}} = 90^\circ $ $\therefore$ The two mirrors are placed at an angle $\theta = 90^\circ $ to obtain three images of a single object. $\therefore$ (b) is the correct option.
Note: One mirror will produce one image. Two individual mirrors will produce two individual images. But when they are kept such that they are perpendicular to each other three images will be formed. If the two mirrors are facing each other then infinitely many images can be formed.

Orthocenter, Archimedean Style
The concurrency of altitudes in a triangle (at the point called the orthocenter) has been known since the times of Euclid, if not before. A couple of millenia later, Leonhard Euler, Carl Friedrich Gauss, and other mathematicians came up with different proofs [2]. Vladimir Arnold [1] observed that the Jacobi identity
for the cross product of vectors in \({\mathbb R} ^3\) implies the concurrency of altitudes.
Figure 1. The three forces balance; their lines are therefore concurrent.
Writing the previous issue's column, "A Perspective on Altitudes," led me to the following physically-motivated proof of the concurrency of altitudes.
Our triangle is a rigid frame, free to slide within the plane. To each vertex of the triangle, let us apply the force perpendicular to the opposite side and of magnitude equal to that side's length (see Figure 1). I claim that the triangle will remain in equilibrium, i.e., the sum of these forces vanishes, as does the sum of their torques (relative to some pivot and hence to all pivots; the sum of torques is pivot-independent if the sum of forces is zero). Apart from being perhaps of independent interest, this equilibrium statement implies (and also follows from) the altitudes' concurrency.
Figure 2. Failure of concurrency implies the nonvanishing of the torque.
Indeed, the contrary assumption—that the lines of forces are not concurrent, as in Figure 2—implies a nonzero torque relative to \(P\), a contradiction.
It remains to prove that the forces and the torques in Figure 1 do indeed balance out. The total force
\[ {\bf a}^\perp + {\bf b}^\perp + {\bf c}^\perp = {\bf 0} \tag1 \]
since \({\bf a} + {\bf b} +{\bf c} = {\bf 0}\). And the total torque vanishes according to Figure 3, where one of the vertices is chosen as a pivot. This completes the proof.
Thus, one could loosely say that the root cause of the altitudes' concurrency is the symmetry of the torque's magnitude under permutation of the lever and the force.
Figure 3. The torque's magnitude does not change if the force and the lever are interchanged and rotated by π/2.
Incidentally, \((1)\) is one of many corollaries of a perpetual motion machine's impossibility. Indeed, let our triangle be surrounded by the two-dimensional gas of pressure \(p=1\) (units of force per unit of length). The sum in \((1)\) is then the total force on the triangle, and must vanish since the alternative is a functioning perpetual motion machine.
The sum of torques of these forces vanishes as well, again by the perpetual motion argument. This also implies the concurrency of the midpoint perpendiculars — an alternative proof of the simple fact well known since antiquity.
I would not be surprised if someone in ancient times—Archimedes, perhaps—already came up with the above proof; we will probably never know. This suggests that if one waits long enough, an old idea becomes original.

THEOREM I.
If a straight line be perpendicular to a plane, its projection on any other plane, produced if necessary, will cut the common intersection of the two planes at right angles.
Let AB be any plane,
and CEF another plane intersecting the former at any angle in the line EF;
and let the line GH bé perpendicular to the plane CEF.
Draw GK, HL perpendicular on the plane AB, and join LK,
then LK is the projection of the line GH on the plane AB; produce EF, to meet KL in the point L;
then EF, the intersection of the two planes, is perpendicular to LK, the projection of the line GH on the plane AB.
Because the line GH is perpendicular to the plane CEF,
every plane passing through GH, and therefore the projecting plane GHKL is perpendicular to the plane CEF;
but the projecting plane GHLK is perpendicular to the plane AB; (constr.)
hence the planes CEF, and AB are each perpendicular to the third plane GHLK;
therefore EF, the intersection of the planes AB, CEF, is perpendicular to that plane;
and consequently, EF is perpendicular to every straight line which meets it in that plane;
but EF meets LK in that plane.
Wherefore, EF is perpendicular to KL, the projection of GH on the plane AB.

THEOREM II.
Prove that four times the square described upon the diagonal of a rectangular parallelopiped, is equal to the sum of the squares described on the diagonals of the parallelograms containing the parallelopiped.
Let AD be any rectangular parallelopiped; and AD, BG two diagonals intersecting one another; also AG, BD, the diagonals of the two opposite faces HF, CE.
Then it may be shewn that the diagonals AD, BG, are equal; as also the diagonals which join CF and HE: and that the four diagonals of the parallelopiped are equal to one another.
The diagonals AG, BD of the two opposite faces HF, CE are equal to one another: also the diagonals of the remaining pairs of the opposite faces are respectively equal.
And since AB is perpendicular to the plane CE, it is perpendicular to every straight line which meets it in that plane,
therefore AB is perpendicular to BD,
and consequently ABD is a right-angled triangle. Similarly, GDB is a right-angled triangle.
And the square on AD is equal to the squares on AB, BD, (1. 47.) also the square on BD is equal to the squares on BC, CD, therefore the square on AD is equal to the squares on AB, BC, CD; similarly the square on BG or on AD is equal to the squares on AB, BC, CD.
Wherefore the squares on AD and BG, or twice the square on AD, is equal to the squares on AB, BC, CD, AB, BC, CD;
but the squares on BC, CD are equal to the square on BD, the diagonal of the face CE;
similarly, the squares on AB, BC are equal to the square on the diagonal of the face HB;
also the squares on AB, CD, are equal to the square on the diagonal of the face BF; for CD is equal to BE.
Hence, double the square on AD is equal to the sum of the squares on the diagonals of the three faces HF, HB, BC.
In a similar manner, it may be shewn, that double the square on the diagonal is equal to the sums of the squares on the diagonals of the three faces opposite to HF, HB, BC.
Wherefore, four times the square on the diagonal of the parallelopiped is equal to the sum of the squares on the diagonals of the six faces.

A triangle has sides A, B, and C. The angle between sides A and B is #(pi)/2# and the angle between sides B and C is #pi/6#. If side B has a length of 5, what is the area of the triangle?
1 Answer
since one of the angles is 90 degrees, we have a right triangle with 90 / 30 and 60 degree angles.
tan 30 = opp/adj
tan 30 = A/B sides given
so A = 5tan30 or approximately 2.89
the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 base x height
we already know the base and height of this right triangle as they are the two legs of the right triangle (A and B)
using base of 5 and height of 2.89, we obtain the area as:

2) Calculations are shown to determine values like the metacentric height, center of gravity, and the distance between the center of buoyancy and center of gravity.
3) The results show that as the jockey weight height increases, the center of gravity rises and the horizontal movement causes a greater angle of tilt. The metacentric height was found to be greater than the distance between the center of buoyancy and center of gravity, indicating the body is stable.

This document reports on a test to determine the specific gravity and absorption of fine and coarse aggregates. The specific gravities of coarse aggregate were found to be 2.55, 2.7, and 2.8 for bulk dry, SSD, and apparent respectively. For fine aggregate, the specific gravities were 2.64, 2.7, and 2.8. The absorptions were 2.3% for coarse and 1.78% for fine. While the specific gravities were normal, the absorptions were outside standard ranges, likely due to errors in measuring the fine aggregate's slump or not waiting 24 hours for coarse aggregate heating. In conclusion, the aggregates tested would not be suitable for use due tobased

Name of the Shapes in Geometry | Mathematics Tip
The shape is the form of an object. It can be two-dimensional because it has a structure. It is important to know the names of the shapes in geometry. Suppose someone asked you to get a square plate. But if you don't know what is square, then how will you get it? Thus knowledge of geometrical shapes is vital. Everyone should be aware of it since we use these shapes in our day to day life. The following are the name of the shapes in geometry.
Square
Square is a four-sided two-dimensional figure. The shape is connected with four line segments of equal lengths. The four lines form four right angles at the corner of the square. Thus it means all angles are of 90 degrees and opposite sides are parallel.
Circle
A circle has no straight lines.it is a combination of curves that always has the same difference from a point in the center. No angles are found in a circle. Thus they are not polygons. So what is it? It is a 2-D shape with no thickness and no depth.
Rectangle
A rectangle is a 2-D shape like an elongated square. Two of the line segments are longer than the other two. It has four right angles at the corners of the rectangle. The opposite sides are parallel and have the same lengths. Also, the distance between them remains the same at all points.
Triangle
The triangle has three edges and three vertices. According to the length of the sides, triangles are classified into three. Equilateral has all four sides equal, and all angles are acute. Isosceles has two sides of the same length, and one angle of an is the right-angled triangle, while the other two are acute angles. Scalene has unequal sides and angles.
Polygon
A polygon is a plane figure or any 2-dimensional shape formed with finite straight lines. There are different types of Polygon: Regular, Irregular, Concave, Convex, Quadrilateral, Pentagon. All of these have edges or sides. Examples of a polygon are Triangle, Quadrilateral, Pentagon, and hexagon.
Parallelogram
A parallelogram with equal sides is also known as a rhomboid. It is a quadrilateral with parallel opposite sides. Both square and rectangle are also part of a parallelogram since they have equal opposite angles. Its opposite sides are congruent.
So these were some shapes in the geometry that everybody should know as we use them in our daily life. If you need any assistance related to these kinds of topics, you can getMath assignment help from us.

The Tricks to Trigonometry
Updated: Jan 7, 2023
(Cover Artist: Sophie Cheng )
"Trigonometry" sounds like a scary word. I know that when I was little, I would see the word somewhere or hear it spoken and would classify it in the "scary math" category along with calculus and other long, "mathy" words. I never thought of trigonometry as something I would be seeing in my near future. But here we are, as I write this article about how trig is simpler than you might think.
Trigonometry starts with the idea of right triangles. It is used to find unknown sides, or angles of a shape. That's about as difficult as this article goes, in order to create a concrete solid foundation and introduction to this information.
Let's first have a refresher on what a right triangle is. A right triangle is a triangle with one right angle, meaning one 90 degree angle. In a diagram, the angle with a little box on it is the right angle showing the observer of the diagram that the two lines of the angle are perpendicular.
The hypotenuse is the side length of the triangle that sits directly across from the right angle. So for example in this diagram, side length C is the hypotenuse.
If we are given an angle measure, for example 50, like in this diagram. We are also given one of the side measures for sine, they hypotenuse and the side measure we are trying to find, represented by x, is the other side measure needed for sine. This means we can calculate x by using sine. So let's plug in each side measure and angle.
sin(50) = x/9
To calculate, we can now multiply 9 by the sine of 50, and find our answer for x. This can be calculated using a calculator.
x = 9sin(50)
The result is going to be x.
We can use the same process for each different function.
COSINE
The equation for cosine is
cosine of the angle = adjacent side/hypotenuse
(*Note: the " / " you see represents division, and does not represent "or".)
Following the function, we can plug in the angle= the adjacent side length(the side length next to the angle) over the hypotenuse.
cos (35) = a/20
Now, we can solve this by multiplying both sides by 20, and find the measure for the missing side of a.
a = 20cos(35)
TANGENT
Lastly, let's talk about tangent. Also known as tan, tangent is the special function because it does utilize the hypotenuse.
The equation for tan is
tangent of an angle = opposite side/adjacent side
In this triangle, we plug in 20 as our angle and put 10/x to plug in for the opposite of adjacent.
tan(20) = 10/x
To solve this we can multiply x times tan of 20 and then divide the tan of 20 from x as well as tan to put x by itself.
x = 10tan(20)
This will leave us with the result of side x.
TIPS AND TRICKS
An easy way to remember what the equation is for each function you can remember the acronym Soh Cah Toa.
The capital letters stand for the function and the lower case stands for either opposite, adjacent, or hypotenuse.
"Soh" is Sine = opposite side/hypotenuse
"Cah" is Cosine = adjacent side/hypotenuse
"Toa" is Tangent = opposite side/adjacent side
This chart should be useful !
Keep in mind that for now, you can't use the right angle as your base angle; you must use a different, acute angle.
Finally, attached below are some example triangles to practice what we've learned. Try finding the sine, cosine, and tangent of each triangle!

A and B are two points on the circumference of a circle with centre O. C is a point on OB such that AC $\perp OB$. AC = 12 cm. BC = 5 cm. Calculate the size of $\angle AOB$, marked $\theta$ on the diagram.
The answer given in the textbook is $45.2 ^\circ$ (1dp)
Note: This is not a homework question. I'm just doing maths for my own interest.
Draw line AB, and observe that ABC is a (5,12,13) right-angled triangle. Since AB is a chord, the bisector of angle AOB also bisects AB, call this point T. Now triangle OTB is similar to triangle ACB. Therefore angle AOB is:
2 * arctan(5/12)
Which a handy calculator says is 45.2 degrees.
(I'm surprised someone marked this down: I did get the answer, which one other answer didn't, and I think it's neater than the other answer, since you need almost no calculation.)
$\begingroup$The line AB and its midpoint T aren't in the diagram, and I don't have the means to draw them, but then: angles TBO and ABC are coincident, and angles OTB and BCA are right angles. So angles are all the same.$\endgroup$

Learn MoreAbsolute value is a mathematical concept often used in conjunction with a number line or graph to represent the relative value from zero (modulus). To illustrate this idea in a different way, the absolute value of a number can be closely related to distance in the physical world.
A coordinate plane is a mathematical, two-dimensional plane formed by two number lines. A horizontal number line and a vertical number line intersect to form two axes (plural for axis), and a grid system comprised of four quadrants.You've probably seen supplementary angles examples in your everyday life without knowing it. Whether you pass a leaning sign on a flat highway or walk by a shed with a lean-to roof — whenever two angles combine to form a straight, linear pair, there they are.
Mathematicians use something called interval notation to convey information about a range of values in a way that's clear and easy to understand. This form of writing is necessary because intervals are common concepts in calculus, algebra and statistics.
A rhombus is a parallelogram shape with two pairs of parallel sides and four equal sides. These four sides of equal length also define the rhombus as an equilateral quadrilateral. Etymologically, the name of this shape stems from the Greek word "rhombos," which roughly translates to "spinning top."
Greater than, less than, equal to: These terms are mathematical expressions that allow the user to compare two numbers or equations. Once you've become familiar with these terms — and the symbols used to represent them — you'll be able to apply them to various math problems.

Step by Step Solution:
Step 1. First, we need to know the formulas for scalar and vector products.
Step 2. Scalar product: a⋅b=abcos(θ)
Step 3. Vector product: a×b=absin(θ)n^, where n^ is the unit vector perpendicular to both a and b
Step 4. (a) If θ=30.0∘, then cos(θ)=3/2 and sin(θ)=1/2. Comparing the magnitudes of the scalar and vector products:\n* scalar product: abcos(θ)=ab3/2\n* vector product: absin(θ)=ab/2\nThe scalar product has a greater magnitude.
Step 5. (b) To find when the magnitudes of the scalar and vector products are equal, we set the two equations equal to each other:\nabcos(θ)=absin(θ)\nSimplifying: tan(θ)=1.\nTherefore, θ=45∘+180∘k for any integer k because tan(θ) has a period of π.
Final Answer:
a) The scalar product has a greater magnitude. \n b) θ=45∘+180∘k for any integer k.

What is Geometry and Topology?
Geometry is the study of shapes and spaces. Most people
are aware of the standard objects of Euclidean geometry:
lines, circles, polygons and of familiar notions such
as angles, parallel lines, and congruent figures.
In its modern form geometry has a much wider scope,
reaching into higher dimensions and encompassing a broad
range of current ideas. The subject of topology is concerned
with those features of geometry which remain unchanged after
twisting, stretching or other deformations of a geometrical
space. It includes such problems as coloring maps,
distinguishing knots and classifying surfaces and their
higher dimensional analogs. The influence of topology is
also important in other mathematical disciplines such as
dynamical systems, algebraic geometry (the study of
polynomial equations in many variables) and certain aspects
of analysis and combinatorics.

Hint: Here we assume both the angles as separate variables. Then using the information in the question we form an equation of sum of angles. Also, using the concept of ratio, we write the angles in the ratio form and equate it to the given ratio. * Two angles are said to be supplementary to each other if they have the sum of angles as \[{180^ \circ }\] * Ratio \[m:n\]can be written in the form of fraction as \[\dfrac{m}{n}\].
Complete answer: Let us assume one angle as 'x' and another angle as 'y'. Since we know both the angles are supplementary angles, then their sum must be equal to \[{180^ \circ }\] So we can write the sum of angles x and y as \[{180^ \circ }\] \[ \Rightarrow x + y = {180^ \circ }\] … (1) Now we are given that the angles are in the ratio \[5:4\] So we can write that the ratio of angles x and y is \[5:4\]. Substitute the values of angles we assumed in the beginning of the solution. \[ \Rightarrow x:y = 5:4\] … (2) Now since we know we can convert the ratio \[a:b\] into a form of fraction as \[\dfrac{a}{b}\]. Therefore, we can write the equation (2) as \[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{y} = \dfrac{5}{4}\] Multiply both sides of the equation by y \[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{y} \times y = \dfrac{5}{4} \times y\] Cancel the same terms from numerator and denominator. \[ \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{5}{4}y\] … (3) Substitute the value of x from equation (3) in equation (1). \[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{5y}}{4} + y = {180^ \circ }\] Take LCM on the left hand side of the equation. \[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{5y + 4y}}{4} = {180^ \circ }\] Calculate the sum in the numerator. \[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{9y}}{4} = {180^ \circ }\] Multiply both sides by \[\dfrac{4}{9}\] \[ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{9y}}{4} \times \dfrac{4}{9} = {180^ \circ } \times \dfrac{4}{9}\] Cancel out the same terms from numerator and denominator. \[ \Rightarrow y = {\left( {20 \times 4} \right)^ \circ }\] Calculate the product. \[ \Rightarrow y = {80^ \circ }\] Now we substitute the value of y in equation (1) to calculate the value of x. \[ \Rightarrow x + {80^ \circ } = {180^ \circ }\] Shift all constants to one side of the equation. \[ \Rightarrow x = {180^ \circ } - {80^ \circ }\] Calculate the value on RHS. \[ \Rightarrow x = {100^ \circ }\]
\[\therefore \]Two supplementary angles that are in the ratio \[5:4\] are \[{100^ \circ }\] and \[{80^ \circ }\]
Note: Students many times make the equation formed by the ratio as a complex equation when they cross multiply the values to both sides and then solve. Always try to keep that value on one side of the equation which can later be directly substituted in another equation. Also, keep in mind ratio should always be in simplest form i.e. there should not be any common factor between numerator and denominator.

Line P the crosses both lines is called a Transversal. \(\angle C\) and \(\angle F\) are called Alternate Interior Angles; They are equal in measurement. \(\angle D\) and \(\angle E\) are also called Alternate Interior Angles.

To convert a measurement in degrees per second to a measurement in cycles per second, divide the frequency by the following conversion ratio: 360 degrees per second/cycle per second.
Since one cycle per second is equal to 360 degrees per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:
cycles per second = degrees per second ÷ 360
The frequency in cycles per second is equal to the frequency in degrees per second divided by 360.
For example, here's how to convert 500 degrees per second to cycles per second using the formula above.
cycles per second = (500 °/s ÷ 360) = 1.388889 cps
Degrees per second and cycles per second are both units used to measure frequency. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Are Degrees per Second?
Degrees per second are a measure of angular frequency, or rotational speed, equal to the change in orientation or angle of an object in degrees per second.
Degrees per second can be abbreviated as °/s; for example, 1 degree per second can be written as 1 °/s.
In the expressions of units, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to express a change in one or more units relative to a change in one or more other units.[1] For example, °/s is expressing a change in angle relative to a change in time.

Hint: In the given problem, we are required to find the cosine of a given angle using some simple and basic trigonometric compound angle formulae and trigonometric identities. Such questions require basic knowledge of compound angle formulae and their applications in this type of questions. Unit circle is a circle with a radius of one unit drawn on a graph paper with its centre at origin.
Note: Periodic Function is a function that repeats its value after a certain interval. For a real number $T > 0$, $f\left( {x + T} \right) = f\left( x \right)$ for all x. If T is the smallest positive real number such that $f\left( {x + T} \right) = f\left( x \right)$ for all x, then T is called the fundamental period.

JEE MAIN & ADVANCE 12th PCM Maths -3D Geometry Demo Videos
Hi students, in this chapter we will learn about introduction to 3 Dimensional Co-ordinate System. Till now you have studied about only 2D, here we will learn about 3D. In 3D we will have 3 axes, which are X axis, Y axis which you are comfortable with already. Here we will have extra one axis that is Z axis. And all these 3 axes are mutually perpendicular to each other. X axis, Y axis and Z axis. Here for everything we add Z co-ordinate extra. What is our origin in 2D? Origin in 2D is zero, zero. In 3D zero, zero, zero. Here we add one zero extra. Apart from lines and points, here we will have planes also. What do I mean by planes? Let us look at our first plane. So, the plane that contains X and Y axis is the XY plane. X and Y axis are two lines, the plane in which these two lines are there, this is called XY plane. Similarly the plane in which Y axis and Z axis are there, that is called YZ plane. Similarly, if we look at here this is our ZX plane, which consists of X axis and Z axis. Now, we have planes and their co-ordinated axes and our origin.
Let's look at the next concept. Our next concept is marking a point a, b, c. So, in 2 dimension it is very easy if you have to mark 2, 3 or a, b something like that. In 3D if you have to mark a, b, c, how do we do it? We have to follow a procedure. What are the procedures? The first procedure is construct a cuboid. The second procedure I will tell you after doing the first procedure. Let's look at how to construct a cuboid. So, we have to take our X axis, Y axis and Z axis. In this, this is our origin which is zero, zero, zero. So, we have to mark our point a, b, c. First I will take a, 0, 0 on axis. Then I will take 0, b, 0 on Y axis. Similarly I will take 0, 0, c on Z axis. Now, I have 3 points. Now, what will I do is from X axis and Y axis. I will draw two perpendiculars such that they will meet at a point. Let's look at those two perpendiculars from these two that they are meeting at a, b, 0. From X axis and Y axis, if you draw two perpendiculars they are meeting at a, b, 0. Similarly we will draw two perpendiculars from X and Z axis. They will meet at a, 0, c. Now we have two more axes left. Those two if you draw perpendiculars they will meet at 0, b, c. Now, we have three different points, I told we have to construct a cuboid, if I have to complete the cuboid I have to draw three more lines which they will meet at this point, which is our required point a, b, c. So, what do we do? We take the appropriate dimension on X axis, Y axis and Z axis. We try to construct a cuboid. One end of the corner will be origin, other corner will be our point a, b, c. I hope this is simple. Now, next way we mark it is, move a units along X axis and b units parallel to Y axis and c units parallel to Z axis. I said, a units along X axis, b units parallel to Y axis and c units parallel to Z axis. You will reach the point a, b, c. I hope you understood, how to mark a point a, b, c.
Let's look at the next thing, equations of the planes. So, for marking the equations of the planes. Let's take all the points that are there on XY plane. If you take all the points on XY plane, we observe one simple property for all of them. I hope you will now observe it much better. All the Z co-ordinates on the XY plane are zero. So, we say the XY plane equation is Z equal to zero. Now, let's look at the next plane if we look at YZ plane, all the X co-ordinates on the YZ plane will be zero. So, our equation of YZ plane is X is equal to zero. Similarly, if we look at the ZX plane, all the points on ZX plane will have Y co-ordinate zero. So, the equation of ZX plane is Y equal to zero. I suppose you are clear with all these equations.
Let's look at some simple, simple formulae which are nothing but small extension or Z co-ordinate extra for 2D geometry. The first formula is distance formula. I hope this is our simple formula in 2D geometry square root of x2 minus x1 whole square plus y2 minus y1 whole square. We will simply add z2 minus z1 whole square to get our distance formula in 3D geometry. Similarly, our ratio formula, if we have m is to n ratio for two points, our ratio formula is this one, mx2 plus nx1 upon m plus n, my2 plus ny1 upon m plus n. Here we add one Z co-ordinate extra which is mz2 plus nz1 upon m plus n. The last one is the most easiest formula, our centroid formula. Centroid formula is sum of the co-ordinates by 3. In 2D, it is x1 plus x2 plus x3 by 3, y1 plus y2 plus y3 by 3. In 3D, we see, simply add the Z co-ordinates extra that is z1 plus z2 plus z3 by 3.
I hope you learned basics of 3D geometry and very simple formulae.

Describe a rigid transformation that takes \(ABC\) to the triangle you selected.
A square is made up of an L-shaped region and three transformations of the region. If the perimeter of the square is 40 units, what is the perimeter of each L-shaped region?
Summary
The transformations we've learned about so far, translations, rotations, reflections, and sequences of these motions, are all examples of rigid transformations. A rigid transformation is a move that doesn't change measurements on any figure.
Earlier, we learned that a figure and its image have corresponding points. With a rigid transformation, figures like polygons also have corresponding sides and corresponding angles. These corresponding parts have the same measurements.
For example, triangle \(EFD\) was made by reflecting triangle \(ABC\) across a horizontal line, then translating. Corresponding sides have the same lengths, and corresponding angles have the same measures.

\(AB = 2.24\)
\(EF = 2.24\)

\(FD = 2.83\)
\(CA = 3.00\)
\(DE = 3.00\)
\(m\angle ABC = 71.6^\circ\)
\(m\angle EFD= 71.6^\circ\)
\(m\angle BCA = 45.0^\circ\)
\(m\angle FDE= 45.0^\circ\)
\(m\angle CAB = 63.4^\circ\)
\(m\angle DEF= 63.4^\circ\)
Glossary Entries
corresponding
When part of an original figure matches up with part of a copy, we call them corresponding parts. These could be points, segments, angles, or distances.
For example, point \(B\) in the first triangle corresponds to point \(E\) in the second triangle. Segment \(AC\) corresponds to segment \(DF\).

The Nonagon, Hyperbola and Lill's Method and a hyperbola to construct nonagon.
The polynomial x3 – 0.75x + 0.125 has the same roots as the polynomial 8x3 – 6x + 1, but when dealing with Lill's method it's more convenient to deal with monic polynomials. The polynomial x3 – 0.75x + 0.125 has the roots x1=cos(2π/9), x2= cos(4π/9) and x3=cos (8π/9). If we can construct a segment equal to cos(2π/9), then we can easily construct a nonagon inscribed inside a unit circle.
Geometric Solution
The Lill's method representation of the polynomial x3 – 0.75x + 0.125 can be seen below. I included the Lill circle of the polynomial.
If you are not familiar with Lill's method, it's probably more convenient to use the equation x^(2) + y^(2) – 0.125x + 0.25y = 0.75 for Lill's circle.
The hyperbola that let's us solve the polynomial equation is the hyperbola that passes through point P0 (0,-1) and has the x-axis and the line x=0.125 as asymptote lines. the equation of the hyperbola is -8xy+y=-1.
The hyperbola intersects Lill's circle at point P0 (0,-1), X'1,X'2 and X'3. The line passing through P0 and X'1 intersects the x-axis at the point X1 (cos(2π/9),0). The line passing through P0 and X'2 intersects the x-axis at the point X2 (cos(4π/9),0). Finally, the line passing through P0 and X'3 intersects the x-axis at the point X3 (cos (8π/9),0).
A nonagon inscribed inside a unit circle can be constructed using the point X1 (cos(2π/9),0).
Final Notes
Another relevant polynomial equation for constructing a nonagon is x3 – 3x + 1. One of the roots of x3 – 3x + 1 is 2cos(2π/9). In the future I may write a post showing how to solve this polynomial in a similar manner.
A third method of constructing the nonagon involves doing angle trisection 2 times . I discussed how to use Lill's method and hyperbolas to trisect an angle in my "Trisection Hyperbolas and Lill's Circle". Doing a double angle trisection using my method is a bit cumbersome, so I'll probably not dedicate a post on the topic.

Rhombus
Contents
A rhombus is a quadrilateral in which length of all the sides is equal. It is also known as equilateral quadrilateral since equilateral means that all the sides are of equal length. A rhombus looks like a diamond.
Properties of Rhombus
All sides are of equal length.
Opposite sides are parallel.
Opposite angles are equal.
Diagonals bisect each other at 90⁰.
Area of Rhombus
Area of rhombus can be calculated by 3 different formulae:
When the height and length of the side is given.
A= H x a
When the length of side and angle of side is
given.
A= a² sin(A)
When the length if the diagonals is given.
A= (p x q)/2
ParameterofRhombus
The formula to find the area of rhombus is same as square
because in rhombus also length of all sides is equal.

That which precedes is sufficient to show the application of Geometrography. It is remarkable that it has been possible to simplify all the fundamental constructions, sometimes to a very great extent, as in the construction of a mean proportional from 28 to 14, and in the division of a line in extreme and mean ratio from 29 to 13.
The author, M. Lemoine, has applied geometrographic methods to a considerable number of other problems, and has also modified these constructions by allowing other instruments to be used, in particular the square or right triangle used by draughtsmen.
BIOLOGICAL SECTION
Conference of the Biological Section
Two sessions were held, Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon, March 28 and 29, the latter being a joint session with the Michigan Academy of Science. Both sessions were well attended.
After calling the meeting to order and making announcements, the chairman, Mr. L. Murbach, made some remarks on the proposed amalgamation of the biological section with the Michigan Academy of Science. He said the biological section would better not surrender its identity by fusion with the Michigan Academy of Science, but that the Michigan Academy of Science might form a science-teaching section which the members of the biological section could join, leaving them the opportunity to hold their own conference at any time when the Michigan Academy of Science meets at a different time or place from the Schoolmasters' Club. He pointed out the advantages of the union as, membership in the larger body, opportunity to hear purely scientific papers, and the right to the publications of the proceedings. Pending the action of the Michigan Academy of Science, the Conference proceeded with its program, electing Dr. F. C. Newcombe, chairman, and Miss Genevieve Derby, secretary. Papers were presented as follows:
THE RELATION OF NATURE STUDY TO HIGH SCHOOL BIOLOGY
RAY A. RANDALL. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL, GOShen (ind.) HIGH SCHOOL
Never before has the subject of science occupied the prominent place in which it stands now. Never has the progress of civilization been so rapid as the last century, during which time science has done so much for the world. Science is the mother of civilization. This advancement was brought about by the mental operations of observation, experiment, classification, deduction, and generalization.
Today all scientific training, all scientific knowledge must come through these primary conceptions and today these primary conceptions
must come through nature's door as in the past. For the child's nature, dependent upon his inherited impulses, necessitates the exercises of his powers through experiences similar to those which took part in the physical and mental development of his ancestors. The lifeless forms of Latin and Greek are no longer in the path of advancement. We now think in our own language, but the present century has yet to blot out the word or the form idea of the old regime. We think the child has the idea when he has only the form in which it is expressed. The present day idea of teaching the child new words by associating the word with the object I believe to be radically wrong in that it makes nature subjective, not objective. The object in the child's hand becomes a part of his experience and that experience expressed will bring the word desired.
Nature study furnishes a basis of reasoning, i. e. from particular to general, which applied to other studies makes real their notions. It puts the child in the right attitude for work, makes him independent in thought and action, and by its reactive influence moulds the character.
Upon recognizing the aim and importance of nature study in the grades we next turn our attention to the presentation of the subject, to the basis for work and the relation of the work to High School Biology. Many attempts to introduce nature study in the grades have failed, and I dare say it is due to a great extent to the method in vogue of leaving the science work to the grade teacher. To teach nature study in the right way a Col. Parker is needed, a person who can lead others to observe and experiment. Time and a great deal of it is needed. Time to locate the proper field of study, time to take the children to the fields, time to prepare and perform experiments, time to look over note-books with the individual. Systematic work is needed, not a heap of experiment without a definite aim in view. Material both for experiment and observation is need d and should be of the proper kind and plenty of it. In most Graded Schools at the present time nature work is taught by the teachers of the respective grades and in most cases, not knowing the subject they are instructed in the work by the superintendent or science teacher. Due to the nature of the case they cannot fulfill the requirement of a nature study teacher. A specialist born a naturalist would satisfy the condition, and since the importance of a right relation of the child to nature cannot be measured in dollars and cents, an argument against the expense due to the employing a special instructor for the town, has no basis. Again if we recognize nature study as being on a par with reading, language, history, etc., it demands a place in the curriculum and should be presented by a teacher whose acquaintance with the subject is as thorough as with other subjects. One instructor could handle from three to five grades giving six hours a week to a grade by devoting three periods of two hours each to each grade, with satisfaction.
In Biology which furnishes a large share of topics for nature work the natural whole may be the single animal or plant or several living objects taken together to form a society for a definite aim or purpose. Such units or wholes as above mentioned form a natural basis for deductive reasoning, comparisons and generalizations. The course of reasoning should be, in general, first, observation of life in the single thing and repeated recognition of the different fundamental laws: second, application of the laws to unfamiliar objects and life societies.
In the selection of topics strict scientific order should not control.

In the figure given below, PQ and RS are two mirrors placed parallel to each other. An incident ray AB strikes the mirror PQ at B, the reflected ray moves along the path BC and strikes the mirror RS at C and again reflects back along CD. Prove that AB ll CD.
Hint: Here, in this question, we can see that PQ and RS are the two mirrors that are placed parallel to each other. So, these two mirrors will act like the two parallel lines. And, as the mirrors PQ and RS are parallel to each other, therefore, the ray BC is acting like a transversal. So, we shall solve this question according to the result that we get when we perform any operation with the measures of the angles. So, let us now know about the different angles formed when a transversal cuts two parallel lines. Here are some of them: 1. Corresponding Angles 2. Vertically Opposite Angles 3. Linear Pair 4. Alternate Interior Angles 5. Alternate Exterior Angles We will then construct two normals to PQ and RS at B and C respectively. As the normals will be incident on two parallel lines, they will also be parallel to each other. We will then use the properties of the different angles formed when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal and try to prove the given condition.
Complete step-by-step answer: As mentioned in the question, PQ||RS. Thus, BC acts as a transversal to two parallel lines. Now, let us construct a 'm' normal to PQ at B and a normal 'n' to RS at C. We know that PQ||RS. Since the normals we drew are drawn to two different parallel lines, the normals will also be parallel to each other. Thus, m||n. Now, to make it convenient, we will mark the angles at x,y,${{i}_{1}},{{i}_{2}},{{r}_{1}}$ and ${{r}_{2}}$ as shown in the figure. Thus, our figure will look as follows:
Now, if we consider the lines PQ and RS, we can see that BC is the transversal. Here, we can see that \[\angle x\] and $\angle y$ are alternate interior angles. We also know that alternate interior angles are always equal. Thus, $\angle x=\angle y$ Now, 'm' and 'n' are normals at PQ and RS respectively. Now, if we look at the normal 'm', we can see that $\angle x$ and $\angle {{r}_{1}}$ sum to ${{90}^{\circ }}$. Thus, $\angle x+\angle {{r}_{1}}={{90}^{\circ }}$ …..(i) Similarly, if we look at the normal 'n', we can see that: $\angle y+\angle {{i}_{2}}={{90}^{\circ }}$ …..(ii) From the equations (i) and (ii), we can see that: $\begin{align} & \angle x+\angle {{r}_{1}}={{90}^{\circ }} \\ & \Rightarrow \angle x={{90}^{\circ }}-\angle {{r}_{1}} \\ & \angle y+\angle {{i}_{2}}={{90}^{\circ }} \\ & \Rightarrow \angle y={{90}^{\circ }}-\angle {{i}_{2}} \\ \end{align}$ Now, we have already established that $\angle x=\angle y$, Thus, by putting in the values of $\angle x$ and $\angle y$, we get: $\begin{align} & \angle x=\angle y \\ & \Rightarrow {{90}^{\circ }}-\angle {{r}_{1}}={{90}^{\circ }}-\angle {{i}_{2}} \\ & \Rightarrow \angle {{r}_{1}}=\angle {{i}_{2}} \\ \end{align}$ Also, we know that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Hence, $\begin{align} & \angle {{i}_{1}}=\angle {{r}_{1}} \\ & \angle {{i}_{2}}=\angle {{r}_{2}} \\ \end{align}$ Since, $\angle {{r}_{1}}=\angle {{i}_{2}}$, we can say that: $\angle {{i}_{1}}=\angle {{r}_{1}}=\angle {{i}_{2}}=\angle {{r}_{2}}$ Since, these 4 angles are equal, the sum of any two of them will be equal to the sum of the remaining two angles. And therefore, $\angle {{i}_{1}}+\angle {{r}_{1}}=\angle {{i}_{2}}+\angle {{r}_{2}}$ Now, if we look at lines AB and CD, we can see that BC is a line cutting them and the sum of $\angle {{i}_{1}}$ and $\angle {{r}_{1}}$ and the sum of $\angle {{i}_{2}}$ and $\angle {{r}_{2}}$ are alternate interior angles. Hence, AB ll CD as the alternate interior angles are equal ($\angle {{i}_{1}}+\angle {{r}_{1}}=\angle {{i}_{2}}+\angle {{r}_{2}}$). Hence, proved.
Note: Let us now know about the different angles formed when a transversal cuts two parallel lines.
LINEAR PAIR: They are two adjacent angles which sum up to ${{180}^{\circ }}$. Here, linear pair is made by the following angles: i. $\angle 1\text{ and }\angle 2$ ii. $\angle 4\text{ and }\angle 3$ iii. $\angle 5\text{ and }\angle 6$ iv. $\angle 7\text{ and }\angle 8$ v. $\angle 1\text{ and }\angle \text{4}$ vi. $\angle 2\text{ and }\angle 3$ vii. $\angle 5\text{ and }\angle 8$ viii. $\angle 6\text{ and }\angle 7$ VERTICALLY OPPOSITE ANGLES: they are the pair of opposite angles made when two lines intersect each other. They're always equal. Here, pair of vertically opposite angles is formed by: i. $\angle 1\text{ and }\angle 3$ ii. $\angle 2\text{ and }\angle 4$ iii. $\angle 5\text{ and }\angle 7$ iv. $\angle 6\text{ and }\angle 8$ CORRESPONDING ANGLES: angles in the corresponding positions on the two parallel lines with respect to the transversal are always equal. Here, pairs of corresponding angles are: i. $\angle 1\text{ and }\angle 5$ ii. $\angle 2\text{ and }\angle 6$ iii. $\angle 4\text{ and }\angle 8$ iv. $\angle 3\text{ and }\angle 7$ ALTERNATE INTERIOR ANGLES: angles in between the parallel lines and opposite to one another, i.e. the alternate interior angles are always equal. Here, pairs of alternate interior angles are: i. $\angle 4\text{ and }\angle 6$ ii. $\angle 5\text{ and }\angle 3$ ALTERNATE EXTERIOR ANGLES: angles outside the parallel lines and opposite to one another, i.e. the alternate exterior angles are always equal. Here, the pairs of alternate exterior angles are: i. $\angle 1\text{ and }\angle 7$ ii. $\angle 8\text{ and }\angle 2$ CO – INTERIOR ANGLES: angles in the interior of the parallel lines on the same side of the transversal always sum up to ${{180}^{\circ }}$. Here, the pairs of co-interior angles are: i. $\angle 4\text{ and }\angle 5$ ii. $\angle 3\text{ and }\angle 6$ CO – EXTERIOR ANGLES: angles on the exterior of the parallel lines on the same side of the transversal always up to ${{180}^{\circ }}$. Here, the pairs of co-exterior angles are: i. $\angle 1\text{ and }\angle 8$ ii. $\angle 2\text{ and }\angle 7$ It is very important to solve this question very carefully keeping all these different types of pairs of angles in mind as if there is any mistake; the answer can come out to be wrong.

Difference between Parallel and Perpendicular
ParallelIn geometry class, you learn about two types of lines: parallel and perpendicular. ParallelWhat is Parallel?
In geometry, parallelism is the relationship between two lines that never meet. If two lines are in the same plane and they do not intersect, then they are parallel. This relationship is represented by the symbol ||. For example, consider the lines l and m in the figure below. These lines are parallel because they are in the same plane and they do not intersect. You can see that the symbol || is used to represent this parallel relationship.
There are many properties of parallelism that are important in geometry. For instance, if two lines are parallel, then corresponding angles are equal. In other words, if l || m, then angle A = angle B. This property is represented in the figure below. As you can see, if line l is parallel to line m, then angle 1 is equal to angle 2.
Parallelism is a critical concept in geometry and has many applications in real-world situations. For instance, architects use parallel lines when they design buildings. By understanding properties of parallelism, they can ensure that their buildings are stable and sound. Similarly, engineers use parallelism when they design bridges and other structures. By taking into account properties of parallel lines, they can create structures that are safe and
What is Perpendicular?
In geometry, perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right angle. A right angle is an angle that measures 90 degrees. Perpendicular lines can be found in many everyday objects, such as the legs of a chair or table. Perpendicular lines are also used in construction, where they are often used to create square corners. In addition, perpendicular lines can be used for decoration, as in the case of a herringbone pattern. The word "perpendicular" comes from the Latin word "perpendiculus," which means "hanging down." This refers to the way that perpendicular lines appear to hang down from a vertical line.
Difference between Parallel and Perpendicular
Parallel lines are lines that never intersect, no matter how far they are extended. Perpendicular lines, on the other hand, intersect at a 90-degree angle. In geometry, parallel and perpendicular lines are often used to describe the relationships between line segments and angles. For example, two line segments are parallel if they have the same slope. Similarly, two line segments are perpendicular if their slopes are opposite reciprocals. In addition to line segments, parallel and perpendicular can also describe the relationship between planes. Two planes are parallel if they never intersect, and they are perpendicular if they intersect at a 90-degree angle. Finally, parallel and perpendicular can also describe angles. Two angles are parallel if they have the same measure, and they are perpendicular if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees.
Conclusion
In geometry, parallel lines are two lines in a plane that never intersect and are always the same distance apart. Perpendicular lines, on the other hand, are two lines that intersect to form right angles. The terms "parallel" and "perpendicular" can also be used to describe geometric objects that resemble these lines. For example, if you have a square with four parallel sides, it is said to be a parallelogram. If you then take a perpendicular line and cut through the middle of the square, creating two triangles, the shape is called a trapezoid. When working with shapes like this, it's important to understand which properties are parallel and perpendicular so that you can

Students will practice applying the properties of trapezoids with this Scavenger Hunt activity. Problems include finding a missing angle of both non-isosceles and isosceles trapezoids, finding a diagonal of an isosceles trapezoid, and solving problems related to the midsegment of a trapezoid. Solving a multi-step equation is required for most all problems. This activity was created for a high school level geometry class way to practice properties of trapezoids. There was a variety of levels of questions to challenge all students. Thanks!

A great activity I modified to give my distance learning students when learning about trapezoids in Geometry.
—ASHLEY P.
Nice for reviewing trapezoid properties before an exam. Students enjoyed working collaboratively and moving around the room.

Rotation and Translation of Axes
Introduction
In my previous blog post "2D Plane Transformation", we have discussed how to do 2D plane transformation in a Cartesian coordinate system, i.e., how to convert one point from one plane to the other in a Cartesian coordinate system. In some other situations, the points are fixed, and we would like to compute the coordinates of the same point in different Cartesian coordinate systems whose relationships are rotation and translation.
In this blog post, I would like to quickly discuss the rotation and translation of axes primarily focused on the 2D Cartesian coordinate systems.
Rotation and Translation of 2D Axes
Rotation of Axes
Suppose the $xy$ coordinate system rotates around the origin counterclockwise through an angle $\theta$, resulting in the $x^{\prime}y^{\prime}$ coordinate system.
In the $xy$ coordinate system, let the point $P$ have polar coordinates $(\gamma, \alpha)$. Then, in the $x^{\prime}y^{\prime}$ coordinate system, let the point $P$ have polar coordinates $(\gamma, \alpha - \theta)$.
To get the inverse transformation from the $x^{\prime}y^{\prime}$ coordinate system to the $xy$ coordinate system, we could compute the inverse transformation matrix which happens to be the transpose of the transformation matrix.
Relationship with 2D Coordinate Mapping
From my previous blog post "2D Plane Transformation", we learned that in a Cartesian coordinate system the rotation of a point $(x, y)$ counterclockwise around the origin through an angle $-\theta$ and translation of the same point through an vector $(-h, -k)$ can be combined together into one transformation matrix. The resulting point $(x^{\prime}, y^{\prime})$ has the relationship with $(x, y)$ as follows.
The mapping from the point $(x, y)$ to the point $(x^{\prime}, y^{\prime})$ is
Therefore, the point coordinates transformation from one Cartesian coordinate system to another Cartesian coordinate system that is rotated counterclockwise around the origin through an angle $\theta$ and translated through an vector $(h, k)$ is equivalent as the point is rotated counterclockwise around the origin in the original Cartesian coordinate system through an angle $-\theta$ and translated through an vector $(-h, -k)$.

The degree measure of the angle ABC is 48 °. Beam BK is drawn inside the corner. Find the degree measures of the angles ABK and SBC, if the degree measure of the angle ABK is three times larger than the degree measure of the angle СBC
Let's denote the degree measure of the СBK angle through X degrees, then the ABK angle will be equal to 3 * X degrees. Let's compose and solve the equation:
X + 3 * X = 48;
4 * X = 48;
X = 48/4 = 12.
3 * X = 12 * 3 = 36.
Answer: the degree measure of the СBK angle is 12 °, and the degree measure of the ABK angle is 36 °

A general solution to this would be pretty complex. To start, I think you'd have to calculate the line that represents the intersection of the two planes, which involves some serious math.

Normal (geometry)
In geometry, a normal is an object such as a line, ray, or vector that is perpendicular to a given object. For example, the normal line to a plane curve at a given point is the (infinite) line perpendicular to the tangent line to the curve at the point.
A normal vector may have length one (a unit vector) or its length may represent the curvature of the object (a '' curvature vector''); its algebraic sign may indicate sides (interior or exterior).
In three dimensions, a surface normal, or simply normal, to a surface at point P is a vector perpendicular to the tangent plane of the surface at P. The word "normal" is also used as an adjective: a line ''normal'' to a plane, the ''normal'' component of a force, the normal vector, etc. The concept of normality generalizes to orthogonality (right angles).
The concept has been generalized to differentiable manifolds of arbitrary dimension embedded in a Euclidean space. The normal vector space or normal space of a manifold Of A Perpendicular
In elementary geometry, two geometric objects are perpendicular if they intersect at a right angle (90 degrees or π/2 radians). The condition of perpendicularity may be represented graphically using the ''perpendicular symbol'', ⟂. It can be defined between two lines (or two line segments), between a line and a plane, and between two planes.
Perpendicularity is one particular instance of the more general mathematical concept of '' orthogonality''; perpendicularity is the orthogonality of classical geometric objects. Thus, in advanced mathematics, the word "perpendicular" is sometimes used to describe much more complicated geometric orthogonality conditions, such as that between a surface and its '' normal vector''.
Definitions
A line is said to be perpendicular to another line if the two lines intersect at a right angle. Explicitly, a first line is perpendicular to a second line if (1) the two lines meet; and (2) at the point of intersection the straight angle on one sideong Shading
In 3D computer graphics, Phong shading, Phong interpolation, or normal-vector interpolation shading is an interpolation technique for surface shading invented by computer graphics pioneer Bui Tuong Phong. Phong shading interpolates surface normals across rasterized polygons and computes pixel colors based on the interpolated normals and a reflection model. ''Phong shading'' may also refer to the specific combination of Phong interpolation and the Phong reflection model.
History
Phong shading and the Phong reflection model were developed at the University of Utah by Bui Tuong Phong, who published them in his 1973 Ph.D. dissertation and a 1975 paper.Bui Tuong Phong, "Illumination for Computer Generated Pictures," Comm. ACM, Vol 18(6):311-317, June 1975. Phong's methods were considered radical at the time of their introduction, but have since become the de facto baseline shading method for many rendering applications. Phong's methods have proven popular due to their generallytex (geometry)
In geometry, a vertex (in plural form: vertices or vertexes) is a point where two or more curves, lines, or edges meet. As a consequence of this definition, the point where two lines meet to form an angle and the corners of polygons and polyhedra are vertices.
Definition Of an angle
The ''vertex'' of an angle is the point where two rays begin or meet, where two line segments join or meet, where two lines intersect (cross), or any appropriate combination of rays, segments, and lines that result in two straight "sides" meeting at one place.
:(3 vols.): (vol. 1), (vol. 2), (vol. 3).
Of a polytope
A vertex is a corner point of a polygon, polyhedron, or other higher-dimensional polytope, formed by the intersection of edges, faces or facets of the object.
In a polygon, a vertex is called " convex" if the internal angle of the polygon (i.e., the angle formed by the two edges at the vertex with the polygon inside the angle) is less than π radians (180°, two right angles);at Shading
Shading refers to the depiction of depth perception in 3D models (within the field of 3D computer graphics) or illustrations (in visual art) by varying the level of darkness. Shading tries to approximate local behavior of light on the object's surface and is not to be confused with techniques of adding shadows, such as shadow mapping or shadow volumes, which fall under global behavior of light.
In drawing
Shading is used traditionally in drawing for depicting a range of darkness by applying media more densely or with a darker shade for darker areas, and less densely or with a lighter shade for lighter areas. Light patterns, such as objects having light and shaded areas, help when creating the illusion of depth on paper.
There are various techniques of shading, including cross hatching, where perpendicular lines of varying closeness are drawn in a grid pattern to shade an area. The closer the lines are together, the darker the area appears. Likewise, the farther apart the Source
Light or visible light is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye. Visible light is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nanometres (nm), corresponding to frequencies of 750–420 terahertz, between the infrared (with longer wavelengths) and the ultraviolet (with shorter wavelengths).
In physics, the term "light" may refer more broadly to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, whether visible or not. In this sense, gamma rays, X-rays, microwaves and radio waves are also light. The primary properties of light are intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum and polarization. Its speed in a vacuum, 299 792 458 metres a second (m/s), is one of the fundamental constants of nature. Like all types of electromagnetic radiation, visible light propagates by massless elementary particles called photons that represents the quanta of electromagnetic field, and can be analyzed as both waves and3D Computer Graphics
3D computer graphics, or "3D graphics," sometimes called CGI, 3D-CGI or three-dimensional computer graphics are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data (often Cartesian) that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering digital images, usually 2D images but sometimes 3D images. The resulting images may be stored for viewing later (possibly as an animation) or displayed in real time.
3D computer graphics, contrary to what the name suggests, are most often displayed on two-dimensional displays. Unlike 3D film and similar techniques, the result is two-dimensional, without visual depth. More often, 3D graphics are being displayed on 3D displays, like in virtual reality systems.
3D graphics stand in contrast to 2D computer graphics which typically use completely different methods and formats for creation and rendering.
3D computer graphics rely on many of the same algorithms as 2D computer vector Surfaces Curves
Differential geometry of curves is the branch of geometry that deals with smooth curves in the plane and the Euclidean space by methods of differential and integral calculus.
Many specific curves have been thoroughly investigated using the synthetic approach. Differential geometry takes another path: curves are represented in a parametrized form, and their geometric properties and various quantities associated with them, such as the curvature and the arc length, are expressed via derivatives and integrals using vector calculus. One of the most important tools used to analyze a curve is the Frenet frame, a moving frame that provides a coordinate system at each point of the curve that is "best adapted" to the curve near that point.
The theory of curves is much simpler and narrower in scope than the theory of surfaces and its higher-dimensional generalizations because a regular curve in a Euclidean space has no intrinsic geometry. Any regular curve may be parametrizedpostulates'', which either were considered as evident (for example, there is exactly one straight line passing through two points), or seemed impossible to

Congruence of Triangles
Criteria for Congruence of Triangles
Some Properties of a Triangle
Inequalities in a Triangle
Triangle - A closed figure formed by three intersecting lines is called a triangle. A triangle has three sides, three angles and three vertices.
Congruent figures - Congruent means equal in all respects or figures whose shapes and sizes both are same. For example, two circles of the same radii are congruent. Also two squares of the same sides are congruent.
Congruent Triangles - Two triangles are congruent if and only if one of them can be made to superimpose on the other, so as to cover it completely
If two triangles ABC and PQR are congruent under the correspondence A↔P,B↔QandC↔RA↔P,B↔QandC↔R then symbolically, it is expressed as ΔABC≅ΔPQRΔABC≅ΔPQR
In congruent triangles, corresponding parts are equal and we write "CPCT" for corresponding parts of congruent triangles.
SAS congruency rule - Two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle between two sides of one triangle are equal to the two sides and the included angle between two sides of the other triangle. For example ΔABCΔABC and ΔPQRΔPQR as shown in the figure satisfy SAS congruence criterion.
ASA Congruence Rule - Two triangles are congruent if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of other triangle. For examples ΔABCandΔDEFΔABCandΔDEF shown below satisfy ASA congruence criterion.
AAS Congruence Rule - Two triangle are congruent if any two pairs of angles and one pair of corresponding sides are equal.For example ΔABCandΔDEFΔABCandΔDEF shown below satisfy AAS congruence criterion.
AAS criterion for congruence of triangles is a particular case of ASA criterion.
Isosceles Triangle - A triangle in which two sides are equal is called an isosceles triangle. For example ΔABCΔABC shown below is an isosceles triangle with AB=AC.
Scalene Triangle - A triangle, no two of whose sides are equal, is called scalene triangle.
Equilateral Triangle - A triangle whose all sides are equal, is calle an equilateral triangle.
Right angled triangle - A triangle with one right angle is called a right angled triangle.
The sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180o.
If a side of a triangle is produced, the exterior angle so formed is equal to the sum of two interior opposite angles.
Angle opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal.
Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal.
Each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60o60o.
If the altitude from one vertex of a triangle bisects the base, then the triangle is isosceles triangle.
SSS congruence Rule - If three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of another triangle then the two triangles are congruent for example ΔABCandΔDEFΔABCandΔDEF as shown in the figure satisfy SSS congruence criterion.
RHS Congruence Rule - If in two right triangles the hypotenuse and one side of one triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one side of the other triangle then the two triangle are congruent. For example ΔABCandΔPQRΔABCandΔPQR shown below satisfy RHS congruence criterion. RHS stands for Right angle - Hypotenuse side.
A point equidistant from two given points lies on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the two points and vice-versa.
A point equidistant from two intersecting lines lies on the bisectors of the angles formed by the two lines.

Solution:
As the ellipse is symmetrical about
the coordinate axes we will calculate quarter of the area.
By substituting x
= 0 and x
= a into the
equation x = a
cos t and
solving for t,
we get the limits of integration
t1 =
p/2
and t2 =
0
respectively.
Therefore,
so that, the area of the ellipse
A = abp.
The
area in polar coordinates
Polar coordinates (
r, q )
locate a point in a plane by means of the length r,
of the line joining the point to the origin or pole O,
and angle q
swept out by that line from the polar axis.
Recall the area A
of a circular sector bounded by two radii and an arc, is defined
by the proportion
A :r2p= q: 2p
thus, A
= (1/2) r2q
where r
is the length of the radius and q
is the central angle subtended by the arc.
Suppose given a curve in polar
coordinates by r
= f (q)
or
r
= r
(q)
then, the area of the region bounded by the curve and the radii that correspond to
q1 = a
and q2 = b,
is given by
Example:Find the area of the
region enclosed by the lemniscate of Bernoulli whose polar equation
is r2 = a2
cos2q,
shown in the below figure.
Solution:As the
lemniscate consists of two symmetrical loops meeting at a node, we will calculate quarter of the
area lying inside 0
<q<p/4.
Thus,
the area of the lemniscate A
= a2.
The
area of the sector of a curve given in Cartesian or rectangular coordinates
We
use the formulas for conversion between Cartesian and polar
coordinates,
to find the area of the sector bounded by
two radii and the
arc P0P,
of a curvey
= f (x)given in the
Cartesian coordinates, where x
is the value inside the interval [a,
b]. Then
therefore,
is the area of the sector bounded by
two radii and the arc P0P
of a curvey
= f (x).
The
area of the sector of a parametric curve
The area of the sector bounded by two
radii and the arc P0P
of a parametric curve is given by
where the parametric values, t0 and t
relate to the endpoints, P0 and P
of the arc, respectively.
Example:Find the area of the
sector of the rectangular hyperbola x2-y2 = 1
enclosed by the x-axis, the arc of the right branch of the
hyperbola between the vertex and the point P(cosht,
sinht), and the
line joining this point to the origin, as shown in
the below figure.
Solution: Since the hyperbolic functions satisfy the identity
cosh2t-sinh2 t= 1 then, the point
x = cosht and
y = sinht
that lies on the
hyperbola x2-y2 = 1,
describes the right branch of the
hyperbola as parameter t increases from
-oo
to +oo.
The point traces the hyperbola passing from negative infinity, through
P0
(t = 0) to positive
infinity.
As, x'
(t)= sinht
and
y' (t)= cosht,
so
that x(t)
y' (t)= cosh2t
and
y(t) x' (t)= sinh2 t,
and
by using the above formula for the area of the
sector
of
a parametric curve
we
get the area of the sector P0OP
of the rectangular hyperbola.
Therefore, the parameter (or argument)
t,
of hyperbolic functions, is twice the area of the sector P0OP,
i.e., t = 2A.
That is why the inverse hyperbolic functions are also called the

The abscissa of 2 points A and B are the roots of the equation \(x^2 + 2x – a^2 = 0\) and the ordinate are the roots of the equation \(y^2 + 4y – b^2 = 0\). Find the equation of the circle with AB as a diameter.

Parallelograms are fundamental shapes in geometry, exhibiting unique properties and characteristics that make them intriguing objects of study. In this article, we delve into the world of parallelograms to explore which statements hold true about these geometric figures. By selecting three options from a series of statements, we aim to unravel the mysteries surrounding parallelograms and enhance our understanding of their defining features. Whether it's about their angles, sides, or special properties, each statement presents a new perspective on these versatile shapes. Join us at Warren Institute as we dissect the truths behind parallelograms and embark on a journey of mathematical discovery.
Properties of Parallelograms
Parallelograms have several key properties that set them apart from other quadrilaterals. One of the most important properties is that opposite sides are parallel. This means that if we extend the sides of a parallelogram, they will never intersect. Additionally, opposite angles are congruent, which further defines the symmetry of parallelograms. Lastly, the diagonals bisect each other at their point of intersection, forming right angles.
Types of Parallelograms
There are different types of parallelograms based on their additional properties. A rectangle is a type of parallelogram where all angles are right angles. A rhombus is a parallelogram where all sides are equal in length. A square is a special type of rhombus where all angles are right angles and all sides are equal.
Relationships with Other Shapes
Parallelograms have interesting relationships with other shapes. For example, a parallelogram can be divided into two congruent triangles by drawing one of its diagonals. This connection to triangles helps in understanding the properties of both shapes. Additionally, a parallelogram can also be seen as a trapezoid where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.
Area of Parallelograms
The formula to find the area of a parallelogram is base times height. This means that the area is calculated by multiplying the length of the base by the perpendicular height from the base to the opposite side. Understanding this formula is crucial for students to correctly solve problems involving the area of parallelograms.
Real-life Applications
Parallelograms have practical applications in various fields. For instance, the design of bridges often involves parallelogram structures to distribute weight evenly. In architecture, parallelograms can be used in floor tiling patterns to create visually appealing designs. Understanding the properties of parallelograms can help students appreciate their real-world significance.
Importance of Understanding Parallelograms
In mathematics education, grasping the properties and characteristics of parallelograms is fundamental. Not only do parallelograms serve as building blocks for more complex geometric concepts, but they also enhance problem-solving skills. By mastering the properties of parallelograms, students develop a strong foundation in geometry that can be applied to various mathematical scenarios.
frequently asked questions
What are the properties of parallelograms that make them unique compared to other quadrilaterals?
Parallelograms have opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length, as well as opposite angles that are equal. These properties make them unique compared to other quadrilaterals.
How can you prove that opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal in length?
You can prove that opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal in length by using the properties of parallel lines and the definition of a parallelogram. In a parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel because they are always the same distance apart and never intersect. Additionally, opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length because they are congruent due to the properties of parallelograms.
In what real-life situations can the concept of parallelograms be applied for problem-solving?
The concept of parallelograms can be applied in real-life situations such as architecture for designing buildings, engineering for structural stability, and design for creating patterns and layouts.
How do the angles within a parallelogram relate to each other, and how can this knowledge be used in geometry?
The angles within a parallelogram are opposite angles that are equal in measure. This knowledge can be used in geometry to solve for unknown angles and to prove properties of parallelograms.
Can you identify and describe different types of parallelograms based on their properties and characteristics?
Yes, different types of parallelograms include rectangle (with all angles equal to 90 degrees), rhombus (with all sides equal in length), square (a special type of rhombus with all angles equal to 90 degrees), and parallelogram (opposite sides are parallel and equal in length).
In conclusion, when discussing parallelograms in Mathematics education, it is important to remember that opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, and diagonals bisect each other. These properties are fundamental to understanding the characteristics and relationships within parallelograms

Math IA- Type 1 The Segments of a Polygon
In an equilateral triangle ABC, a line segment is drawn from each vertex to a point on the opposite side so that the segment divides the side in the ratio 1:2, creating another equilateral triangle DEF.
a)
i)
ii)
Measurements and drawing shown above has been made through the Geometer's Sketchpad package.
Measure of one side of the ΔABC = 12cm
Measure of one side of the ΔDEF = 5cm
iii)
The areas have also been calculated using the Geometer's Sketchpad package and are show in the diagram above.
For ΔABC = 62.5cm2
For ΔDEF = 8.85cm2 ÷ 8.8 cm2 = 7:1
The ratio between the areas of the equilateral ΔABC to ΔDEF when the segment divides the side in the ratio 1:2 is 7:1.
b) In order to repeat the procedure above for at least two other side ratios, 1: n
The two ratios chosen are 1:3 and 1:4 for no specific reason.
Ratio of Sides = 1:3
Again, the diagram above and values were obtained and created using Geometer's Sketchpad Package.
For ΔABC = 62.0 cm2
For ΔDEF = 19.10 cm2/19.1cm2 = 13:4
The ratio between the areas of the equilateral ΔABC to ΔDEF when the segment divides the side in the ratio 1:3 is 13:4.
Ratio of Sides = 1:4
For ΔABC = 62.1 cm2
For ΔDEF = 26.61 cm2/26.6 cm2 = 7:3
The ratio between the areas of the equilateral ΔABC to ΔDEF when the segment divides the side in the ratio 1:4 is 7:3.
c) The following table compares the values of the ratios of the sides and the ratios of the areas of the triangles so that one can deduce a relationship by analyzing the results below.
If one looks at the values above, it is hard to be able to determine a relationship as the values of the ratio of areas are not very similar at all. However if one were to change the ratio of areas for the ratio of sides 1:4, from 7:3 to 21:9, then it would look like the following.
Now if one were to look at the values of ratios above, then one can see relationships both in the numerator and denominator of the ratios. One can see that the denominators are actually squares of integers such as 1, 2 and 3Value of denominator of ratio of areas of equilateral triangles = (n ...
This is a preview of the whole essay 6. When n is again increased by 1, then the value increases by 8. A pattern that is noticed here is that for each and every n value, if it were to be squared and then n was added to that value again, it would only be 1 unit away from the numerator value. If one were to apply this into mathematical terms, then it would look like the following.
n2 + n + 1 = Numerator values
Therefore, if the two equations that were conjectured above are put together, they would look like the following
n2 + n + 1 ÷ (n – 1)2
d) Before this conjecture is proved analytically, it is very important to understand the basics of similarity. Triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the ratio of their corresponding sides is in proportion. The name for this proportion is known as the similarity ratio.
In order to prove the conjecture above, one needs to find the area of the bigger triangle and divide it by the area of the smaller triangle. If the produced equation matches the equation above, then the conjecture has been proved analytically.
The conjecture has been proved on the following page.
In to order to able to test the validity of this conjecture, another triangle was produced using the geometer's sketch pad and the conjecture is validated if the ratio produced from GSP matches the value of the ratio provided by the conjecture.
The ratio the segment divides the side in is 1:9
From our conjecture which is
(n2 + n + 1) ÷ (n – 1)2
Therefore if 9 is substituted in place on n, then the following answer is retrieved.
(92 + 9 + 1) ÷ (9-1)2
= 1.42
Therefore both the values from GSP and the conjecture match, proving the conjecture to be valid.
2) In order to be able to prove whether this conjecture is valid for non-equilateral triangles, another sketch is made using the GSP. However, this time a non equilateral triangle is made. If the value of the ratio of the area matches the ratio from the conjecture, then the equations holds true for non-equilateral triangles. The ratio of sides that will be used will 1:4
The ratio between the areas of the two triangles show above is 2.34
In order to prove whether the conjecture is valid for non-equilateral triangles, the value retrieved from the conjecture once 4 is substituted into the equation should equal somewhere around the value of 2.34.
(n2 + n + 1) ÷ (n – 1)2
= (42 + 4 + 1) ÷ (4-1)2
= 2.33
These two answers are very close to each other and taking the uncertainties of the GSP into account, this is an accurate answer. Therefore, the conjecture holds true for non- equilateral triangles. The limitations and uncertainties of GSP will be discussed at the end of this assignment.
3) a) In order to compare the area of the inner square to the area of the original square, GSP was used again to construct a square where the segment divided the ratio of the sides into 1:2. The square constructed is shown below
The area of the inner square compared to the original square is given above to be around 0.4 which is the same as 2:5 in ratio format.
b) In order to find how the areas compare if each side is divided in the ratio 1: n, two GSP sketches of squares need to be made. One ratio used is going to be 1:3 and 1:4. The one shown below is 1:3.
The ratio of the area of inner square to the area of the original square for the square above is believed to be about 9:17.
The sides of the square illustrated below have been divided into the ratio of 1:4.
The answer retrieved above is about 0.62 which is close to the ratio of 16:26.
Looking at the two squares and their ratios above, a pattern that seems to be developing can be seen.
The following table compares the values of the ratios of the sides and the ratios of the areas of the squares so that one can deduce a relationship by analyzing the results below.
If one looks at the values above, it is hard to be able to determine a relationship as the values of the ratio of areas are not very similar at all. However if one were to change the ratio of areas for the ratio of sides 1:2, from 2:5 to 4:10, then it would look like the following.
Now if one were to look at the values of ratios above, then one can see relationships both in the numerator and denominator of the ratios. One can see that the numerators are actually squares of integers such as 2, 3 and 4. The following table helps to analyze the situation better.
Therefore, the numerator is just the value of n squared. The following puts it into a mathematical equation.
= n2
Now moving onto the denominator, the following table helps analyze the situation better.
Looking at the values above, one can notice that the difference between denominator values is increasing. Not only that, it is increasing in a specific value which creates a pattern. The very first time when n is increased by 1, the value increases by 7. When n is again increased by 1, then the value increases by 9. A pattern that is noticed here is that for each and every n value, if it were to be squared and then twice the value of n was added to that value again, it would only be 2 units away from the denominator value. If one were to apply this into mathematical terms, then it would look like the following.
n2 + 2n + 2 = Denominator values
Therefore, if the two equations that were conjectured above are put together, they would look like the following
n2 ÷ n2 + 2n + 2
c) The conjecture for the ratios of the areas of the square is proved on the following page.
4) In order to investigate the relationship in another regular polygon, a hexagon has been chosen. In order to find the relationship between its original to its inner area, three sketches of hexagons need to be performed in the ratio of the sides being 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4.
The ratio of the sides being 1:2 is illustrated below.
The answer retrieved above is 1.44 which when put into a fraction gives a ratio of the bigger hexagon to the inner hexagon being 13:9.
The ratio of the sides being 1:3 is illustrated below.
The answer retrieved above is 1.31 which when put into a fraction gives a ratio of the bigger hexagon to the inner hexagon being 21:16.
The ratio of the sides being 1:4 is illustrated below.
The answer retrieved above is 1.23 which when put into a fraction gives a ratio of the bigger hexagon to the inner hexagon being 31:25.
The following table compares the values of the ratios of the sides and the ratios of the areas of the hexagons so that one can deduce a relationship by analyzing the results below.
Now if one were to look at the values of ratios above, then one can see relationships both in the numerator and denominator of the ratios. One can see that the denominators are actually squares of integers such as 3, 4 and 5 more 8. When n is again increased by 1, then the value increases by 10. A pattern that is noticed here is that for each and every n value, if it were to be squared and then three times n was added to that value again, it would only be 3 units away from the numerator value. If one were to apply this into mathematical terms, then it would look like the following.
n2 + 3n + 3 = Numerator values
Therefore, if the two equations that were conjectured above are put together, they would look like the following
n2 + 3n + 3 ÷ (n + 1)2
This conjecture is proved analytically on the next page.
If the segments were constructed in a similar manner in other regular polygons, would a similar relationship exist?
I believe so that a similar relationship would exist because of the conjectures found of the different shapes. The table below shows the conjectures that were found for the three different shapes that were investigated in this assignment above.
The relationship that existed between all three was the fact that both the inner and outer shapes lengths were all found through the means of similar triangles. Around the inner shape existed small and big triangles which were similar dude to the Angle Angle similarity that was shared between the triangles. Through similarity, the lengths of the sides could be found which could be subtracted from the whole length of the outer shape to give the inner shapes length. Once this was calculated, the shape was substituted into the area equation to give the conjecture. So, in these terms, the shapes shared a relationship due to the Angle Angle similarity. Another relationship was the fact that the denominator or the numerator included a quadratic equation. It was there to represent the bigger shape in all of the cases. For example, the quadratic equation either represented the outer and the bigger triangle, square and the hexagon. Therefore, in other polygons, one can predict that this will also be the case. Another relationship would be the fact that the smaller shape were represented by something that included n2. Therefore, one can also deduce that the other smaller shapes such as of a pentagon or an octagon will also follow this rule.
Limitations of this assignment:
There was one main limitation that was related to the technological aspect of this assignment. The main problem of this assignment was using GSP itself. One can say that the values calculated by GSP for the different areas and lengths were not as accurate as they could possibly have been. This is partly due to human error as while we try to use the mouse to change the different lengths, it is nearly impossible to be able to move the hand with such precision so that every one of our lengths is consistent with each other therefore resulting in small inaccuracies caused due to the way GSP was programmed and the mouse that was in use while making the different shapes.

Who discovered the parallel postulate?
Who discovered the parallel postulate?
Euclid
Parallel postulate, One of the five postulates, or axioms, of Euclid underpinning Euclidean geometry.
What is the major concept of the parallel line postulate?
The parallel postulate states that if a straight line intersects two straight lines forming two interior angles on the same side that add up to less than 180 degrees, then the two lines, if extended indefinitely, will meet on that side on which the angles add up to less than 180 degrees.
Why are parallel postulates not proven?
The parallel postulate says that if the angle measures of α and β add up to less than 180 degrees, then the dotted lines eventually intersect. Every attempt at proving the parallel postulate as a theorem was doomed to failure because the parallel postulate is independent from the other axioms and postulates.
What is the 5th postulate and why is it special?
This postulate is telling us a lot of important material about space. Any two points in space can be connected; so space does not divide into unconnected parts. And there are no holes in space such as might obstruct efforts to connect two points.
What are the 5 postulates of Euclid?
Geometry/Five Postulates of Euclidean Geometry
A straight line segment may be drawn from any given point to any other.
A straight line may be extended to any finite length.
A circle may be described with any given point as its center and any distance as its radius.
All right angles are congruent.
Does axioms Need proof?
Unfortunately you can't prove something using nothing. You need at least a few building blocks to start with, and these are called Axioms. Mathematicians assume that axioms are true without being able to prove them. For example, an axiom could be that a + b = b + a for any two numbers a and b.
Can the parallel postulate be proven?
Every attempt at proving the parallel postulate as a theorem was doomed to failure because the parallel postulate is independent from the other axioms and postulates. We can formulate geometry without the parallel postulate, or with a different version of the postulate, in a way that adheres to all the other axioms.
What is the problem with the 5th postulate?
Far from being instantly self-evident, the fifth postulate was even hard to read and understand. 5. That, if a straight line falling on two straight lines… …the two straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles.
Which is the best proof of the parallel line postulate?
Proofs and Postulates: Triangles and Angles Parallel Line Postulate: If 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then their coresponding angles are congruent. A simple sketch can show the parallel line postulate. note: moving each point the same distance and direction will produce a parallel line (and a coresponding angle)
When do the dotted lines intersect the parallel postulate?
The parallel postulate says that if the angle measures of α and β add up to less than 180 degrees, then the dotted lines eventually intersect. Credit: 6054, via Wikimedia Commons.
Which is a consequence of the Euclidean parallel postulate?
One consequence of the Euclidean Parallel Postulate is the well- known fact that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle in Euclidean geometry is constant whatever the shape of the triangle. 2.2.1 Theorem. In Euclidean geometry the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180°.
Are there any axioms equivalent to the parallel postulate?
Playfair's axiom is simple and direct, but some of the most interesting statements that are equivalent to the parallel postulate involve triangles. You probably remember from high school geometry class that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. That is only true if you assume the parallel postulate.

The video begins with an introduction to a pre-calculus problem involving a right triangle ABC with a given area and a known angle of 15°.
The Triangle Sum Theorem is recalled to determine the remaining angle in the right triangle ABC, which is found to be 75°.
The area of the triangle is given as 1 cm², and the formula for the area of a triangle is used to establish a relationship between the base (AB) and height (BC) of the right triangle.
By setting up the equation AB * BC = 2, the product of the base and height of the triangle is determined without using a calculator.
A new right triangle CBD is introduced with an assumed angle of 60°, leading to the discovery that angle BCD is 30°.

The Pythagorean Theorem - More Than Just Right Triangles!
Hey mathletes! Today, we're diving into a classic: the Pythagorean
Theorem. You might know it as the formula for right triangles (a^2 + b^2 =
c^2), but this theorem has some surprising applications!
The Basics:
Imagine a right angled triangle. The Pythagorean Theorem tells us that
the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side, opposite the right angle) is
equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Beyond Triangles:
This theorem isn't just for triangles! It can be used to solve
problems involving distances in squares, rectangles, and even 3D shapes. Here's
an example:
Imagine a square with side length "a." The diagonal
(line connecting opposite corners) will split the square into two right
triangles. The diagonal will have a length of "a√2" (a times the
square root of 2). How did we get this?
Think about one of the right triangles formed by the diagonal.
Each of the shorter sides (half the diagonal) has a length of "a/√2"
(a divided by the square root of 2). Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we get:

The famous painter Mel Borp is working on a brilliant series of paintings that introduce a
new experimental style of Modern Art. At first glance, these paintings look deceptively simple,
since they consist only of triangles of different sizes that seem to be stacked on top of each other.
Painting these works, however, takes an astonishing amount of consideration, calculation, and
precision since all triangles are painted without taking the brush off the canvas. How exactly Mel
paints his works is a well-kept secret.
Recently, he started on the first painting of his new series.
It was a single triangle, titled .
After that, he created , the basis for his other works (see Figure 1).
Figure: Early work: (left) and (right).
Then he decided to take his experimenting one step further, and he painted and .
Compare Figure 1 and Figure 2 to fully appreciate the remarkable progression in his work.
Figure: Advanced work: (left) and (right).
Note that the shape of the painting can be deduced from its title, , as follows:
is a single triangle (see Figure 1);
consists of a smaller, inverted triangle placed inside
, so that the result consists of four smaller triangles (see Figure 1);
if p > 0 and q > 1, then the painting looks like , except that an inverted triangle has been placed inside the bottom-right triangle of , splitting it into four smaller triangles (compare for example and );
if p > 1 and q > 0, the painting looks like
, except that an inverted triangle has been
placed inside the bottom-left triangle of
, splitting it into four smaller triangles;
other values of p and q: it is not a valid title of a painting.
The triangles of a painting look all the same (each triangle is an isosceles triangle with two
sides of the same length), but their height and width depend on the size of the canvas Mel used.
Mel wanted to end the series with , the most complex painting he thought he would be
able to paint. But no matter how many times he tried, he could not get it right. Now he is
desperate, and he hopes you can help him by writing a program that prints, in order, the starting
and ending coordinates of the lines Mel has to paint. Of course, you will need to know how Mel
paints his works, so we will now reveal his secret technique.
As an example, take a look at (see Figure 3):
Figure: .
Mel always starts at the top of the top triangle, drawing a line straight to the lower-left corner
of the lower left triangle (in this example, 1-2), continuing with a line to the lower-right corner of
that triangle (in this example, 2-3). Next, he works his way up by drawing a line to the top of that
triangle (in this example, 3-4). Now he has either reached the starting point again (finishing yet
another masterpiece) or he has reached the lower-left corner of another triangle (in this example,
1-4-5). In the latter case, he continues by drawing the bottom line of that triangle (4-5) and after
that he starts working on the triangle or triangles that is or are located underneath the lower-right
corner of that triangle, in the same way. So he continues with (5-3), (3-6), (6-7), (7-8), (8-6), (6-9),
and (9-1) as the finishing touch.
The first line of the input contains the number of test cases. Each test case consists of one line
containing four non-negative integers p, q, x, and y, separated by spaces. is the title of the
painting and (x,y) are the coordinates of the top of the top triangle. Further, and x,y < 32768. All triangles have a nonzero area.

Again, because AB is parallel to CE, and BD falis upon them, the exterior angle ECD is equal to the interior and opposite angle ABC (I. 29).

COROLLARY 1.-All the interior angles of any rectilineal figure, together with four right angles, are equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides.

And, by the preceding proposition, the angles of each triangle are equal to two right angles.
Therefore all the angles of the triangles Bare equal to twice as many right angles s there are triangles; that is, as there are sides of the figure.
But the same angles are equal to the angles of the figure, together with the angles at the point F;
And the angles at the point F, which is the common vertex of all the triangles, are equal to four right angles (I. 15, Cor. 2);

COROLLARY 2.--All the exterior angles of any rectilineal figure are together equal to four right angles.
The interior angle ABC, with its adjacent exterior angle ABD, is equal to two right angles (I. 13);

But all the interior angles, together with four right angles, are equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides (I. 32, Cor. 1);

What Is The Relation Between Radian And Degree
Radian and Degrees are the two interconvertible units used to measure angles having a specific relation, where radian is considered a dimensionless SI unit while the degree is a non-SI unit. The relation between radian and degree measurements is based on the fact that they both represent different ways to measure angles. Angles can be expressed in terms of radians or degrees, and there is a simple conversion factor between the two. Before getting to the detailed relation between the radian and degree measure, let us revise the radian and degree measure.
The International System of Units (SI) describes the radian as an angular measuring unit. One radian can be stated as the angle formed at the circle's center when the radius and length of the arc of that circle are equal. In other words, if you took a circle whose radius is 'r' and wrapped its arc around its center, the angle generated at the center would be 1 radian.
Conversion Between Radian And Degree Measures
The conversion factor between radians and degrees is as follows:
\text{ 1 radian} = \frac{180}{\pi}\text{degree}
\text{ 1 degree} = \frac{\pi}{180}\text{radian}
Here, π (pi) represents the proportion between a circle's diameter and circumference, which is approximately equal to 3.14159. So, if you want to express an angle in degrees instead of radians, it can be achieved by multiplying the radians value by (180 divided by π). Similarly, the conversion of degrees into radians is accomplished by multiplying the value of degrees by (π divided by 180).
Formulas For The Conversion Between Radian And Degree Measure
A circle is divided into 360 degrees, where each degree represents 1/360th of a full revolution. On the other hand, a circle is also divided into 2π radians, where each radian represents 1/2π (approximately 0.3183) of a full revolution.
Degrees and Radians can be interconverted to each other using the following formulas.
For the conversion of degrees into radians: radians = degrees × (π/180)
For the conversion of radians into degrees: degrees = radians × (180/π)
We may build a relation between radian and degree using the above formulas.
Examples Of Radian and Degree Relation
For example, let's assume you have a 45-degree angle. You would use the formula: radians = 45 (/180) 0.7854 radians to convert it to radians.
Similarly, Using the formula: degrees = 1.5 (180/) 85.94 degrees, you can convert an angle of 1.5 radians to degrees.
With the use of these formulas, it is possible to interconvert radians and degrees into each other and are helpful when working with trigonometric functions or when comparing angle measurements in different systems.
Some Common And Important Questions Regarding Radian and Degree Relation
During the study of a radian and degree relation, the below-mentioned questions are the most common and important questions that are asked in the examination and have major importance in the multiple choice questions. Therefore go through these questions attentively.
Que#1 Convert 0° to radian
There is a very simple conversion between the radian and degree. To convert 0° into radians we have two possible methods. Both of these methods are explained below.
From the above calculation, it is clear that 0 degrees in radians is equal to 0 radians
2nd Method
There is also an alternate method to determine the radian and degree relation. This method is quite a simple conversion method. In this method conversion between the radian and degree takes place by using their conversion formula. To know about the formula check out the section " Formulas for the conversion between radian and degree measure".
By using formula
\text{radians}=\text{degrees}\times\frac{\pi}{180}
put 0 degrees in the above equation
\text{radians}=\text{0}\times\frac{\pi}{180}
\text{radians}=\text{0}
Hence for 0 degrees, we get 0 radians.
Que#2 What is 45 degrees in Radians
For the conversion of 45° into radians, there are also two methods, that are as under.

"What is the definition of a trapezium? Is it a shape with exactly one pair of parallel sides or at least one pair of parallel sides? Or maybe even none at all! Different cultures define a trapezium slightly differently and many have the term trapezoid too. In the US (for some) a trapezium is a four sided polygon with no parallel sides; in the UK a trapezium is a four sided polygon with exactly one pair of parallel sides; whereas in Canada a trapezoid has an inclusive definition in that it's a four sided-polygon with at least one pair of parallel sides - hence parallelograms are special trapezoids.

SAT Geometry: What You Need to Know
Whether taking the old paper SAT or the new Digital SAT, test-takers are likely to encounter plenty of geometry questions.
This can be intimidating to a lot of students!
For many SAT test-takers, geometry can be a somewhat "rusty" concept, especially for juniors and seniors who haven't studied triangles and circles for years. For others, geometry might simply be that one area of math that simply never made sense!
Fortunately, SAT geometry is very different from what geometry students learn in traditional classroom settings. There aren't any proofs on the SAT, for one thing.
Plus, SAT geometry accounts for only a very small portion of the test. While these questions do cover a fairly broad scope, the topics are finite and should feel familiar after review.
You can apply everything you learn in this post to the practice problems available in our SAT Geometry Guide. Grab it below.
SAT Geometry: The Basics
SAT geometry is likely to appear in both of these sections. Yet there's some good news to this: these questions are only likely to make up about 10% of SAT math questions.
Here's what we tend to see:
2-4 Geometry questions on the No-Calculator section
3-6 Geometry questions on the Calculator section
The new Digital SAT, on the other hand, has two identical math sections, or "modules," with calculator use permitted on both. The difficulty of the second module will depend on how many questions you answer correct in the first one.
Module 1: 22 questions, 35 minutes
Module 2: 22 questions, 35 minutes
On the Digital SAT, you can expect 5-7 Geometry questions (roughly 15% of the total math test).
Two things: know the content, and know how it is tested. We'll discuss this more in the next section of this post!
General Approach to SAT Geometry
There are a few core strategies students should keep in mind when it comes to SAT Geometry.
1) Understand what is expected of you
If you have a solid understanding of which concepts will be tested, then you'll know which tools to pull from your arsenal. You'll also be able to more efficiently attack the problems themselves.
2) Know the formulas
Second, you should take the time to make sure that you know all of the required formulas inside-and-out. This includes the formulas that are given in the reference box at the beginning of each math section:
You will save yourself valuable time and mental energy if you're not scrambling to find the right equation for a problem!
3) Draw pictures when possible
If a geometry question does not include an image, make sure to draw pictures. Sometimes something that sounds difficult in words becomes immediately apparent when you see it sketched out in front of you.
If you are given a picture with certain side lengths and angles marked and others left as variables, make sure to physically write in new measurements as you solve for them. You don't want to try to keep everything straight in your head!
Keep in mind that figures are not often drawn to scale. Don't assume an angle measure or side length based off of how a picture looks. You must prove a value based off of what you know to be true.
4) Take these questions out of order
Geometry problems tend to be some of the more time-consuming problems on the test, so it might make sense to save these for last.
Remember that all questions on the SAT are worth the same number of points, and so it doesn't make sense to waste minutes on difficult problems. If you are short on time and/or having trouble with the earlier sections, focus on those first before moving on to this section.
SAT Geometry: The Content
The main geometry topics that students can expect to see covered include:
Angles & Polygons
Volume & Surface Area
Triangles
Circles
We take a deep dive into each of these content areas below. You can also download all of these tips and apply them to practice problems now, with our free SAT Geometry Guide.
Topic 1: Angles & Polygons
This might sound like a large topic. That's because it is! However, as we've said a few times in this post, the way the SAT tests this topic is predictable.
In general, these SAT geometry questions cover:
Points in the XY-Coordinate plane
Parallel lines
Polygons
Points in the XY-Coordinate Plane
Some SAT geometry questions might ask you to find the distance between two points, or the halfway point between two sets of coordinates.
In order to solve these questions, students should be familiar with the following equations:
Midpoint formula:
Distance formula:
Parallel Lines
Other questions might show a set of parallel lines intersected by another line called a transversal line.
These questions often ask students to solve for one or more of the angles created by the intersection. In order to solve these questions, students should be aware of the following angle relationships:
Vertical angles are equal
Corresponding angles are equal
Alternate interior angles are equal
Same side interior angles are supplementary (sum to 180°)
The angles that make up a straight line are supplementary (sum to 180°)
Shortcut: Remember that when a set of parallel lines are cut by a third line, all small angles are equal to one another and all large angles are equal to one another. Any big angle + a small angle will equal 180°.
In this graphic, angles 1, 4, 5, and 8 are equal, and angles 2, 3, 6, and 7 are equal. Any of these first angles (i.e. 1, 4, 5, and 8) plus any of these second angles (i.e. 2, 3, 6, and 7) will sum to 180°.
Now let's look at an example of an SAT geometry question involving parallel lines:
Source: The College Board Official SAT Practice Test 1
How to solve:
This is an easy one! You know that any large angle will be supplementary to any small angle. Since angle 1 is 35°, angle 2 is simply 180° - 35°, which equals 145°, or choice D.
Polygons
Students might also see questions involving polygons. A regular polygon is any shape in which all side lengths and angles are equal to one another.
Students should be familiar with the following rules about polygons:
The sum of all the interior angles in a polygon with n sides = 180°(n-2).
Accordingly, each interior angle in a regular polygon with n sides = 180°(n-2)/n.
Exterior Angle Theorem
An exterior angle is formed when any side of a polygon is extended. The exterior angle will always be equal to the supplement of the adjacent angle (i.e. the exterior angle + the adjacent angle will equal 180°).
If the polygon is a triangle, the exterior angle equals the sum of the non-adjacent angles in the triangle.
Let's look at an example of a problem involving polygons:
Source: The College Board Official SAT Practice Test 7
How to solve:
This polygon has 4 sides, and so the sum of the interior angles will be equal to 180° x ([4]-2), which comes out to 360°. That means that 45° + x° + x° + x° = 360°. Solving for x, we get 105°, or choice D.
Topic 2: Volume and Surface Area
These SAT geometry questions are likely to test any (or all) of the following:
The volume of regular solids
The surface area of regular solids
In general, there's not too much to memorize with volume and surface area for the SAT.
The reference information at the beginning of each section of SAT math will provide most of the necessary formulas, and any uncommon formulas will most likely be given in the problem.
But remember: you can save valuable time by memorizing the formulas provided in the reference information!
Volume
It's helpful to remember that the volume of all regular solids can be found using the following formula:
Volume = Area of base x Height
Most volume questions on the SAT involve right cylinders. Since the base of a cylinder is a circle, these questions will also incorporate concepts involving circles (see thefinal section of this post for more detail).
Below are the volume formulas that you should know for the test:
Volume of a Cylinder
Volume of a Rectangular Prism
Volume of a Cube
Volume of a Cone
Volume of a Sphere
Let's look at an example of a question involving volume:
Source: The College Board Official SAT Practice Test 1
How to solve:
If the volume of the cylinder is equal to 72 π and the height is 8 yards, then plugging into the formula for the volume of a right cylinder, we get 72π=8πr^2. Solving for r, that gets us 3 yards.
However, the question is asking about diameter, not radius. Since diameter=2r, the answer is 6 yards.
Some volume problems might be more involved, combining multiple shapes into a single question. Let's look at one of those:
Source: Official College Board Practice Test 3
How to solve:
While this question might look overwhelming at first glance, it's really no more difficult than the previous problem. All we need to do is find the volume of the central cylinder and the volume of each of the cones and add those values together.
We know the volume of a cone is (1/3)πr^2(h). Here, the radius for each cone is 5 feet, and the height is likewise 5 feet. That means the volume of each cone is (25/3) π, or ~130.90 cubic feet. Similarly, the volume of a cylinder = πr^2(h). Here, the radius of the cylinder is 5 feet, and the height is 10 feet. That means the volume of the cylinder is 250π, or ~785.40 cubic feet. The total volume of the silo, then, equals 130.90 cubic feet + 130.90 cubic feet + 785.40 cubic feet, or 1,047.2 cubic feet, choice D.
Surface Area
Surface area is just the sum of the area of each of the faces of a polygon.
For most prisms, this is pretty straightforward.
For a cylinder, it's a bit less intuitive: a cylinder is basically a rectangle wrapped around a circular base (giving that rectangle a length equal to the circumference of that circle).
That means that the equation for the surface area of a cylinder is as follows:
Surface Area of a Cylinder
Topic 3: Triangles
The SAT loves to test triangles and incorporate them into other geometry questions. The major types of triangles that the SAT tests are:
Isosceles Triangles
Two sides are equal, and the corresponding angles across from those sides are also congruent.
Equilateral Triangles
All sides and all interior angles are equal. Each interior angle is 60°.
Right Triangles
One angle is 90°.
Students should also be familiar with a few other rules of triangles:
All of the interior angles add to 180°
For any triangle, the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side. This is called the Triangle Inequality Theorem
Area of a Triangle = (1/2)base(height)
Side lengths are proportionate to the angles they're across from. So, the longer the length of a side, the larger the angle across from it
Let's look at a basic triangle problem:
Source: The College Board Official Practice Test 10
How to solve:
We know that all of the interior angles in a triangle add up to 180°. If a=34, then 34° + b° + c° = 180°. That means that b + c = 180° - 34°, or b + c = 146°.
Right Triangles
Right Triangles are made up of two legs and a hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle). Every right triangle obeys the Pythagorean theorem, which states:
Here, a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.
You will see certain right triangles come up repeatedly on the SAT.
These are Pythagorean triples or sets of three whole numbers that satisfy the Pythagorean theorem and are therefore used frequently to represent the side lengths of right triangles on the SAT.
Recognizing Pythagorean Triples can save you a lot of time because if you know two sides, you can easily identify the third without having to use the Pythagorean theorem.
Common Pythagorean triples include:
3, 4, 5 (this is the most common triple)
Any multiple – i.e. [6, 8, 10], [9, 12, 15], [12, 16, 20]
5, 12, 13
Any multiple – 10, 24, 25
7, 24, 25
Special Right Triangles
You will have to memorize two special right triangle relationships.
1) 30° – 60° – 90° Triangles
The ratio of sides is: x, x√3, 2x
This is the most common type of special right triangle on the SAT
The shortest side, x, is opposite the smallest angle, and the largest side, 2x, is opposite the largest angle
If you cut an equilateral triangle down the middle from its vertex, you will get two 30°-60°-90° triangles
2) 45° – 45° – 90° Triangles
The ratio of sides is: x, x, x√2
A 45°-45°-90° triangle is also an isosceles triangle, which might help you remember that both legs must be equal
Any time that you see an angle marked as 45°, 30°, or 60°, you should be looking to utilize the rules of special right triangles, even if it's not immediately obvious!
Let's look at an example of a question involving special right triangles:
Source: The College Board Official Practice Test 5
How to solve:
Since Angle ABD is equal to 30° and angle ADB is equal to 90°, angle BAD must equal 60°. That means that triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle, and triangles ABD and DBC are congruent 30° – 60° – 90° triangles.
The hypotenuse of triangle DBC is 12. We know from the rules of special right triangles that the hypotenuse of a 30° – 60° – 90° triangle is equal to 2x, where x is the length of the side opposite the 30° angle (in this case, line DC). That means that DC is 6.
Since triangles ABD and DBC are congruent, as proven above, DC=AD. Therefore, line AD is also 6, and the answer is choice B.
Similar Triangles When two triangles have the same angle measures, their sides are proportional.
If you can prove 2 angles in 2 separate triangles are identical, then the 3rd angle will also be identical
To solve similar triangle problems, match up the corresponding sides of the triangle and create a proportion to solve for the missing side
Let's look at an example of an SAT geometry problem that tests students' knowledge of similar triangles:
Source: The College Board Official Practice Test 4
How to solve:
Because the three shelves are parallel, the three triangles in the figure are similar. Since the shelves break up the largest triangle in the ratio 2:3:1, the ratio of the middle shelf to the largest triangle is 3:6 (the largest value is found by adding all of the partial values together, i.e. 2 + 3 + 1).
Since the height of the largest triangle is 18, the height of the middle shelf can be found by creating a proportion that relates the side lengths of the middle and largest triangles to their respective heights. In other words, (side length of middle shelf)/(side length of largest triangle) = (height of middle shelf)/(height of largest triangle). Subbing in the above values, that gives us 3/6 = x/18. Solving for x, we get 9 as our answer.
Topic 4: Circles
Circle properties do not appear as frequently as triangle properties on the SAT Math sections. However, students can expect to encounter 1-3 of these questions, so it's wise to know this content when preparing for SAT Geometry problems.
In general, these geometry questions cover:
Basic properties of a circle, including area and circumference
Advanced circle vocabulary, including sector, chord, arc, and tangent
Arc measure/length
Sector area
Central angles
Basic Properties of Circles
Students should be familiar with the following key formulas and properties of circles:
Diameter of a Circle =
Area of a Circle:
Circumference of a Circle =
A chord is a line segment that connects two points on a circle
A tangent is a line that touches a circle at exactly one point. A tangent is always perpendicular to the radius it intersects.
A line that is tangent to a circleLine segment AB is a chord
Arc Length and Sector Area
Sometimes, instead of being asked to calculate the entire circumference or area of a circle, students will be asked to calculate the length of just a piece of the circumference – known as the arc length – or the area of one slice of the pie – known as the sector.
Sectors and arcs will always be bound by two radii. The angle formed by the two radii is known as the central angle.
In the figure to the left, the length along the edge from A to B would be the arc length, the wedge-shaped area bound by angle AOB would be the sector, and angle AOB would be the central angle (i.e. 45°).
The ratio between the central angle and the total number of degrees in the circle (i.e. 360°) will always be the same as the ratio between the area of the sector and the total area of the circle.
Similarly, the ratio between the central angle and the total number of degrees in the circle (i.e. 360°) will always be the same as the ratio between the arc length and the total circumference of the circle.
For this reason, the formulas for arc length and sector area are actually quite simple to remember.
You just take the formula for circumference and area, respectively, and multiply them by the proportion taken up by the central angle. Here's what that looks like:
Arc Length = (2πr)(central angle/360°)
Sector Area = (πr^2 )(central angle/360°)
Let's look at an example of a question involving arc length:
Source: The College Board Official Practice Test 5
How to solve:
Because angle AOB is marked as a right angle, we know that the central angle is 90°. The question also tells us that the total circumference is 36. Plugging into the equation for arc length, we get Arc Length = (36)( 90°/360°), which simplifies to 9, or choice A.
Arc Measure
Many students confuse arc length and arc measure.
Arc length is the actual distance between points A and B on the circle. Arc measure is the number of degrees that one must turn to get from A to B.
You can think of it as a partial rotation along the circumference of the circle – a full rotation is 360°.
Central angles have the same measure as the arcs they "carve out." Inscribed angles are half the measure of the arcs they "carve out."
In the figure to the left, angle AOB would be the central angle, angle ACB would be the inscribed angle, and the arc measure of minor arc AB would be 70° (which is equivalent to the central angle and twice that of the inscribed angle).
Let's look at an example question involving arc measure:
Source: The College Board Official Practice Test 5
How to solve:
The measure of an angle inscribed in a circle is half the measure of the central angle that intercepts the same arc. That means that angle A is equal to (x°/2). We also know that angle P is equal to (360° - x°).
The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral equals 360°. That means the interior angles of ABPC must sum to 360°, or (x°/2) + (360° - x°) + 20° + 20° = 360°. Solving for x, that gets us 80° as our answer.
The Equation of a Circle
Students should also be familiar with the standard form for the equation of a circle in the XY-coordinate plane:
Where (h, k) are the coordinates for the center of the circle
Where r is the radius of the circle
How is this equation usually tested? Given the equation, you must be able to identify the center and the radius of the circle.
Let's look at an example of a question involving the standard equation of a circle:
Source: The College Board Official Practice Test 8
How to solve:
Using what we know from the standard form for the equation of a circle, we can conclude that this circle has a center at (6, -5) and a radius of 4. If P is located at (10, -5), then the end of the diameter lies 4 units directly to the right of the center. That means the other end of the diameter will lie 4 units directly to the left of the center, which would put Q at (2, -5), or choice A.

Information about where to find additional practice questionsDigital SAT Math: Charts and Graphs Questions
One of the SAT's biggest goals is to measure students' abilities for future success.
For this reason, the SAT doesn't just test content you've learned in high school. It also tests what you need to succeed in college, such as critical thinking skills and logical reasoning.
The SAT, for example, incorporates many charts and graphs questions that challenge students to interpret data on their own. In fact, charts and graphs appear on all sections of the test!
Such graphs might look overwhelming at first, particularly for students who haven't done much data analysis in high school. But these questions are much easier if you know exactly what the SAT is looking for.
Reading SAT Graphs Successfully
The new Digital SAT Math includes a significant number of charts and graphs questions. These questions often include a figure and require students to perform basic data analysis.
Fortunately, these questions usually don't require too much calculation beyond simple arithmetic. For this reason, they should actually be some of the easiest on the test, as long as you understand what you're looking at.
We discuss strategies for approaching Charts and Graphs questions in a recent post.
When it comes to SAT Math data analysis questions, it's always vital to identify some key information about a chart or graph before plunging into the question.
For example, we encourage students to ask the following questions when looking at an SAT graph:
What is the title of the chart or graph?
If it's a graph, is there a key? What are the labels on the axes? What are the units?
Make sure to pay extra attention to the units on the axes, as many incorrect answers will be off by a factor of 10
What is the general trend/shape of the graph?
Is the relationship linear? Is it exponential?
Are there any outliers? How do they affect the overall data set?
Note how data is clustered.
Is it very spread out? Centered around the mean?
If the graph is a line, ask yourself what the slope is.
Slope is always rise over run (change in y vs. change in x), and the unit of the slope will also correspond to the unit on the y-axis divided by the unit on the x-axis
If there are a pair of lines in a chart, notice where the greatest points of similarity/difference between the lines are
You won't necessarily have to ask all of these questions when engaging with an SAT chart or graph. However, these questions encourage students to consider the graph in context before identifying the task itself.
Types of SAT Math Charts and Graphs Questions
It's worth noting that students shouldn't expect to see an even distribution of graphs/charts throughout the math section.
What kinds of charts and graphs appear on SAT Math?
Students can expect to see problems involving:
Scatterplots
Bar Graphs/Histograms
Line Charts
Two-Way Tables
We do want to note that students can expect to encounter many Cartesian graph questions testing algebraic principles like slope, slope-intercept form, midpoints, and distance formula. As these require extensive outside content knowledge to answer, we will not address these in this post.
Let's look at some of these common graph types in more detail below.
Scatterplots on SAT Math
Scatterplots are an important tool in statistics. An important function of statistics is its ability to predict values based on a limited amount of data, and scatterplots help us to do just that.
In a scatterplot, each individual point on the graph represents a real point of data.
A line of best fit is then drawn through those points to represent the approximate trend of those values. We can then use that line to predict values outside of the tested range.
For SAT MathThe line of best fit is an estimate, which means we cannot determine definitive values off of the line
The slope of the line of best fit represents the predicted increase (or decrease) in y for each unit increase of x
The y-intercept is the value of y when the x-value is 0
Let's look at an example of a question involving a scatterplot:
Source: The College Board Official Practice Test 1
How to solve:
In the scatterplot, each individual point represents a recorded heart rate at a given swim time. The line of best fit provides the predicted heart rate for the set of times. The question asks us to determine the difference between the predicted heart rate at 34 minutes and the actual heart rate at 34 minutesBar Graphs / Histograms
Another common type of SAT Math graph is the bar graph or histogram. Bar graphs are used to show the frequency with which different variables occur within a data set.
Bars of differing heights reflect the relative frequencies of each variable.
For example, a taller bar indicates a higher frequency of that piece of data. A shorter bar indicates a lower frequency of that piece of data.
When approaching a bar graph, be sure to pay attention to the following:
The title of the graph, which will identify the type of data set
The variable(s) listed along the x-axis
The frequencies measured along the y-axis
Let's look at an example:
Source: The College Board Official Practice Test 1
How to solve:
As mentioned, the x-axis on a histogram will list the different items measured, while the y-axis will list the frequency with which each item occurs.
In this histogram, the x-axis lists the different number of seeds in each of 12 apples.
Based on the graph, we can conclude that 2 apples had 3 seeds, 4 apples had 5 seeds, 1 apple had 6 seeds, 2 apples had 7 seeds, and 3 apples had 9 seeds.
To find the average number of seeds per apple, we simply need to add up the total number of seeds and divide by the total number of apples. To find the total number of seeds, we multiply the different number of seeds along the x-axis by their respective frequencies, and then add those values together. In other words:
Line Graphs on SAT Math
Line graphs are used to show how the relationship between two variables changes over time. Like a bar graph, the title of a line graph on SAT Math usually describes this relationship.
For example, a line graph may be titled "Number of SAT prep companies in the U.S. from 2000 to 2020" or "Percentage of students who graduated high school in New Jersey between 1992 and 1997."
In the case of line graphs:
The x-axis will list the independent variable
The y-axis will list the dependent variable
Often, the x-axis will designate a given time frame, such as years or hours. Pay careful attention to units when analyzing a line graph, as it can be easy to gloss over these (and lose precious points)!
Let's look at an example of an SAT line graph question:
How to solve:
In this line graph, the y-axis marks the number of millions of portable media players sold worldwide. The x-axis lists each year sales were measured (between 2006 and 2011).
First, we need to determine how many portable media players were sold in 2008. If we go over to 2008 on the x-axis, we can see that there is a point hitting 100 (million) on the y-axis. That means that 100 million portable media players were sold in 2008.
Using this same method, we can see that 160 million portable media players were sold in 2011. That means that the fraction of portable media players sold in 2008 versus 2011 is 100,000,000 / 160,000,000, which simplifies to 5/8.
Two-Way Tables
Two-way tables efficiently display the distribution of a set of data, organized by the data's defining characteristics.
These tables often appear throughout both Digital SAT math section. They are often combined with other concepts like probability, rates, and proportions.
While specific questions might vary, their purpose is the same: the SAT wants to make sure that students know how to read tables correctly!
When analyzing a two-way table on the SAT, pay attention to the following:
The titles of the column(s)
The titles of the row(s)
Rows or columns that specify total values
Let's look at an example of an SAT two-way table now.
Source: The College Board Official Practice Test 1
How to solve:
In this problem, the columns reflect the ages of contestants and the rows reflect the genders. To find a specific age/gender combination, simply look at where the two desired variables intersect.
Remember that probability is calculated by dividing the total number of desired outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.
Here, the desired outcome is either a female under age 40, or a male older than age 40. If we start by looking in the row labeled "female" and then move over to the column labeled "under 40," we see that 8 people fall into this category.
Using the same process, we can also see that there are 2 males age 40 or older. That means that the total number of subjects in our "desired outcomes" bucket is 8 + 2, or 10.
To find the probability that one of these outcomes will occur, we need to divide by the total number of subjects. To determine the total number of subjects, look in the bottom right corner of the table to find the total number of all gender and age groups. We can see that it's 25. Therefore, the probability is 10/25, or Choice B.
Next Steps
The Digital SAT Math section is very interested in students' ability to analyze data.
With charts and graphs questions on the math section, it's always vital to spend time with the figure or chart first. This will minimize the possibility of falling for a trap answer!
Remember that these questions often don't require intense calculations or knowledge of specific formulas. In fact, they contain all the information you need to find the right answer.

Have you ever watched a movie and thought, "Hey, I could write this!"? Or had an idea that you thought would be just stellar on screen? As humans, we're natural-born storytellers, and so it's no wonder that you've probably had such thoughts.
The hard part isn't about coming up with ideas – it's about finding a way to organize those ideas into a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end.
As teenagers finish high school and start to look towards their futures, there is no skill more vital than clear communication.
Whether it's cracking the college essay, figuring out how to sell themselves in an interview, or navigating new assignments, figuring out how to tell a compelling story is essential. Creative writing teaches students how to think in a new way that is readily transferable to all of the above scenarios and more.
To novice writers, though, an empty page can feel overwhelming. I mean, where do you even begin? How do you break a story? When do you introduce new plot developments? How do you know when the story's done? The possibilities seem endless!
Thankfully, creative writing isn't as freewheeling as most people assume. While writers are obviously allowed to go in any direction that moves them, there are certain tried-and-true frameworks that we keep coming back to. We're going to dive into one such framework here.
Before we dive into the specifics, though, there are some basic things you should know up front.
SCREENWRITING 101: THE BASICS
Virtually any story can be summarized in this way: a likable character needs to overcome a series of increasingly difficult tasks in order to accomplish a compelling desire and grow as a human along the way.
It's your job as a writer to invent that journey and to come up with obstacles that will enable your character to grow in a believable way. People grow when they're faced with challenging situations that push them out of their comfort zones!
So how do we introduce those challenging situations?
As mentioned above, every story should have a beginning, middle, and end. In screenwriting, we think of these pieces in terms of acts.
Act 1 is your "beginning." This is where you show your protagonist in his/her "before world." What does their status quo look like before undergoing the journey that will make up the bulk of your story? What flaws do they have that they might be unaware of? We should get a clear understanding of what's missing in this person's life and how they need to change.
Act 1 should take up ~25% of your story
Act 2 is the "middle" of your story. It begins with your protagonist choosing to pursue his/her goal, embarking on a journey in the process. Your protagonist's status quo will start to be challenged as they're faced with more and more obstacles, forcing that character to grow as they adapt to new circumstances.
Act 2 should take up ~50% of your story
Act 3 is the "end" of your story. After experiencing a moment of defeat at the end of Act 2, the protagonist considers giving up on their goal and returning to who they were at the beginning of the film, but they ultimately muster the strength to carry on. They use everything that they've learned to overcome their flaws and use their new strength to finally accomplish their goal.
Act 3 should take up the last ~25% of your story
So that's a nice basic framework, but how long is "25%," exactly? The cool thing about screenwriting is that it's formatted so that each page of writing translates to one minute of screen time.
Since most movies are about 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours, most screenplays should be about 90 pages to 150 pages.
The "ideal" screenplay is 110 pages.
Now that you have a basic idea of story, let's look at that ideal 110-page screenplay to breakdown story even further.
SCREENWRITING 101: STORY BEATS
Act 1 (Pages 1-25)
SET UP & THEME (Pages 1-10): The first impression of the story's world and protagonist – a "before" snapshot of the person we're about to follow on this adventure. It should present the main character's world as it is and show us all of their problems. We should get a clear understanding of what's missing in this person's life and how they need to change. At some point during this beat, the theme of the movie should be explicitly stated, and that statement should serve as the movie's thematic premise.
CATALYST (Page 12): The inciting incident. This is the moment where life begins to change as your protagonist is faced with some form of life-changing event. It is allowing a monster onboard your ship, meeting the true love of your life, getting fired from your job, etc. It's the moment that shakes up your "before" world. Usually, your character is posed with a choice: do they want to try to fix whatever calamity they've just encountered, or do they want to try to ignore it and carry on with business-as-usual?
DEBATE (Pages 12-25): After experiencing the catalyst, the protagonist should doubt the journey that they must take. Change is scary. Can they really face the challenge that's been put in front of them? It's the moment of truth – will they embark on the journey or stay in their "before" world?
Act 2 (Pages 25-85)
BREAK INTO 2 (Page 25): After the period of debate at the end of Act I, the protagonist ultimately decides to move forward with their quest. This is where the protagonist leaves their comfort zone and enters the upside-down world that is Act II.
B-STORY (Page 30): This is where you want to introduce a new element of the story. For most screenplays, it's "the love story." It is also the story that carries the theme of the movie.
FUN AND GAMES (Pages 30-55): This is where you deliver on the "promise of the premise." What kind of moments would people expect when they hear the concept of your film? It's where most of the "trailer moments" will be found. It's also where we're concerned with forward progress of the journey – the character should begin to encounter obstacles, but generally things are going well for the protagonist as they're having "fun" and moving along in the pursuit of their goal.
MIDPOINT (Page 55): The midpoint is either an "up" where the hero seemingly peaks (though it is a false peak) or it is a "down" when the world collapses all around the hero (though it is a false collapse). The stakes are raised, the fun-and-games are over, and we're back to the story. The protagonist's strategy usually shifts after the midpoint as they begin to realize that things are more complicated than they may have seemed.
CHALLENGES AND DECLINE (Pages 55-75): This is where the situation becomes much more difficult for the protagonist, and the forces that are aligned against them (internal and external) begin to tighten their grip. Doubt, jealousy, fear and foes regroup to defeat the main character's goals. This is when the bad guys send in the heavy artillery.
ALL IS LOST (Page 75): This is the moment where the hero loses everything they've gained, and the initial goal seems totally impossible. It is the opposite of the midpoint in terms of "up" or "down," most often the hero's lowest point. Usually, there is a symbolic or literal death here as the hero comes to feel that their journey was all for nothing.
DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL (Pages 75-85): After experiencing defeat, the hero should take some time to react. Typically, they wallow in hopelessness as they question their journey and wonder if it's even worth it to keep carrying on in their pursuit.
Act 3 (Pages 85-110)
BREAK INTO 3 (Page 85): Thanks to a fresh idea, new inspiration, or last-minute thematic advice from the B-story (usually the love interest), the main character chooses to try again. They've finally come to understand the theme of the film and have realized the solution to their problem as a result – now all they have to do is apply it.
FINALE (Pages 85-110): This time around, the main character incorporates the theme – the nugget of truth that now makes sense – into the fight for the goal because they now have experience from the A-story and context from the B-story. Act 3 is all about synthesis! Thanks to what the protagonist has learned, they manage to defy the odds and accomplish their goal as a new person.
FINAL IMAGE (Page 110): The very end of the story, where we get a snapshot of the protagonist's new life that's been born from the journey. Usually, it's in direct contrast to whatever we saw at the beginning of the film.

If that felt like a lot to process, it's because it is! Distilling the complex structure of a 110+ page work into just a few paragraphs inevitably means that a lot of information is getting jammed into a limited space.
That being said, nailing structure is fundamental to starting your journey as a storyteller. You can't effectively build out character and theme until you have a strong story to layer onto!
To help you begin to organize your thoughts so that you can move into the writing stage, you can use our free beat sheet guide, which identifies what your major story "beats" (industry lingo for "developments") should look like and where they should occur.

Applying to private high schools can feel daunting. For many students, it's the first time they've had to complete an application of this sort or take on serious standardized testing.
While the private school application process is definitely involved, it's nothing that can't be managed with a proper mindset, timeline, and study plan. We encourage families to start thinking about where they want to apply early and know the important deadlines for those schools.
Students should also begin studying for the SSAT plenty of time before their first official test date and be prepared to take the SSAT more than once. The first step towards independent school success is strong SSAT scores, and you want to put yourself in the best position possible to stand out.
To help with your planning, we've compiled a list of important dates, deadlines, and other application essentials for the top 20 private high schools in the U.S.
Many competitive high schools have application components in addition to these general requirements, such as interviews, parent/guardian statements, supplementary letters of recommendation, portfolios, graded writing samples, and essay questions.
We encourage families to familiarize themselves with all application requirements for each school of choice and to consider submitting optional components if possible. While this doesn't necessarily guarantee acceptance, these additional components can potentially provide admissions officers with greater insight into your student's potential.
If you have any questions about the application process for a specific school, feel free to contact the admissions office. Most school representatives are more than happy to provide further insight into SSAT score requirements, candidate statements, transcript submission, etc.
Application Essentials for the Top 20 U.S. Private High Schools
The list below compiles application essentials for the most competitive U.S. private high schools in New England. There are numerous competitive private schools in this region, and their application standards are representative of most schools.
Applying to Private High Schools: Next Steps
When it comes to applying to private high schools in the U.S., the key to success is preparation! Know what to expect when applying and create a schedule to ensure you have the capacity to submit all components on time.
A strong application also starts with strong SSAT scores and an early, effective study plan. The SSAT covers a wide breadth of material, some of which may feel unfamiliar to students, such as the SSAT Verbal section. The best way to be prepared is to practice as much as possible in order to familiarize yourself with different question types and figure out which strategies work best for which questions.
How can you make sure that you're getting the best SSAT practice possible?
We strongly recommend signing up for one of our state-of-the-art SSAT programs. Working with professionals who utilize real SSAT materials is the surest way to guarantee excellent results as you study for your private school exams.
Good luck Math No-Calculator Tips
NOTE: The SAT "Math No-Calculator" section no longer exists as of 2024. It has now been replaced by the digital SAT's new Math section, which is radically different. For an updated guide to the new digital SAT, follow the link here.
The SAT has two math sections: SAT Math without a calculator, and SAT Math with a calculator.
This first math section, SAT Math No-Calculator, can present a real challenge to test-takers. It can feel downright intimidating to plunge into 20 standardized math questions without a trusty calculator at your side!
However, the No-Calculator section tends to contain more straightforward questions than the Calculator section. It also requires simpler calculations, and every question is designed to be answered without the aid of a device.
That being said, students should feel comfortable working with complicated values without a calculator on hand, such as simplifying expressions involving radicals and pi, reducing long fractions, and completing basic mental math.
We've discussed SAT Math more generally in previous posts. In this post, we provide our favorite SAT Math No-Calculator tips and strategies for experiencing success on this section.
The student-response or "grid-in" questions appear at the end of the SAT Math No-Calculator section.
We discuss these content areas in greater detail in our SAT Math post.
Students should be aware that questions get more difficult as the section progresses, with the exception of the 5 student-response questions, or "grid-ins," which appear at the end of the section and follow their own order of difficulty.
Here's what that might generally look like on a typical No-Calc. section:
Questions 1-5: EASY
Questions 6-10: MEDIUM
Questions 11-15: HARD
Questions 16-17 (grid-in): EASY
Question 18 (grid-in): MEDIUM
Questions 19-20: HARD
Keep in mind that all SAT Math No-Calculator questions are worth the same number of individual section points.
What does this mean?
Students should prioritize taking their time on those first, easy questions to avoid making careless errors! Harder questions do not grant a student more points if answered correctly. In fact, we've seen many students hurt their scores by rushing to complete more challenging questions.
SAT Math No-Calculator Tips & General Strategies
Even though students won't have a calculator for this test, they should still have all of the tools that they need to answer the questions! These "tools" include content knowledge and section strategies.
Remember: everything on the No-Calculator section is specifically designed to be answered with a pencil, piece of paper, and your own brain. Yet success on any section of the SAT, a standardized test, also involves strategy.
Here are our topSAT Math No-Calculator tips.
1. Prioritize easy questions first
Within 25 minutes, students must complete 20 No-Calculator questions. Every question thus should be able to be answered in 60 seconds or less.
As we discussed in the last section, the questions on the SAT Math No-Calculator section are arranged generally in order of increasing difficulty. This does not mean that students should speed through those easier questions to get to higher-difficulty problems!
Take your time on those first, easy questions to avoid careless errors and maximize your point potential. Save challenging questions for the end of the section.
In fact, some students prefer to take the section in waves, following a strategy like this:
Answer the questions you can solve in under a minute
Go back and solve the questions you know how to solve (but are more time-consuming)
Save questions you're unsure about for last
If you find yourself spending more than 60 seconds on one problem, stop and re-evaluate. If you think you can solve it in 30 more seconds, keep going. Otherwise, skip it and come back.
2. Never leave a question blank
You don't lose points for wrong answers on SAT Math, so always fill something in, even if it's a total guess!
To maximize this guessing strategy, use the process of elimination to rule out incorrect answer choices. You significantly increase your chances of guessing correctly with every wrong answer eliminated.
You can even use "guesstimating" to get rid of answers, crossing off choices that are obviously too big or too small.
In the event that no answer choices can be ruled out, choose a "Letter of the Day" (i.e. A, B, C, or D) and use that same letter for every guess on the section. Statistically, you are more likely to get questions right this way than by bubbling in random choices.
3. Save time by coming prepared
Memorize the section's instructions and essential formulas ahead of time. While the test will give you a few key formulas at the start of the section (pictured below), the students who are most successful have committed these formulas to memory to save time flipping back-and-forth between reference information and problems.
Be sure to know the rules associated with student-response or "grid-in" questions, too, especially when it comes to bubbling in fractions or decimals.
You don't want to lose valuable points simply by bubbling in the correct answer incorrectly here!
It's also important to know which strategies are the quickest for you on the No-Calc. section. Many problems can be solved in multiple ways. It doesn't matter which one you use, so pick whichever one is going to get you to the solution the quickest! This method is likely to be different for every student.
4. Check your answers
Once you think you've found the correct answer, try plugging it back into the question to make sure it is the right one. If you don't get the desired value, this is a good indicator that you've done something wrong.
If you're left with extra time on the SAT Math No-Calculator section, try going back and checking your work on select problems. You might also want to attempt a problem that you were unsure of in a different way.
5. Use the "no-calculator" rule to your advantage
If you find yourself needing to make intense calculations on a No-Calculator section question, this is a good sign it's time to back up and take a simpler approach.
Ask yourself: how can I approach this question more simply? There must be a way to solve it without a device, so what can I do to minimize calculations?
This is exactly the type of critical thinking that rewards test-takers on SAT Math, especially with No-Calculator problems.
6. Apply problem-solving techniques
If you're ever stuck on a problem – or if you're afraid that the straightforward approach might take too long – see if you can use a different method.
In fact, the No-Calculator Math section is designed to encourage students to efficiently work through problems, even if that means using methods they don't use in high school classrooms. According to the College Board, SAT Math tests students' ability to
solve problems quickly by identifying and using the most efficient solution approaches. This might involve solving a problem by inspection, finding a shortcut, or reorganizing the information you've been given.
Here are some of our favorite SAT math problem-solving techniques, which can give you those shortcuts the CollegeBoard is referencing:
Back-solving: With this method, students plug the answers themselves into the problem to see which fits. This is particularly helpful when there are variables in the question and numbers in the answer choices.
Plugging in your own numbers: Using the plugging in technique, students choose their own values to represent variables. This method is particularly helpful when there are a lot of variables in the question and answer choices.
Structure in expressions: With this method, students simplify complicated expressions by looking for patterns. If you see a certain expression repeating in an equation, you can replace it with a single variable, for example.
We will apply some of these problem-solving techniques to guided examples in the next section.
SAT Math No-Calculator Tips: Guided Examples
We'll apply some of these unconventional problem-solving methods to select problems from an SAT Math No-Calculator section.
Method #1: Back-solving
Usually, if you see numbers in the answer choices and variables in a question, you can work backward to find the right solution. This means using the answer choices to solve the problem!
Let's look at an example.
Source: The College Board Official SAT Practice Test #2
Working with radicals can be tricky, especially because you have to remember to check for extraneous solutions (solutions to the squared equation that arise when solving, but which don't actually fit the original equation).
The simplest way to solve these problems (not to mention the quickest and most fool-proof way to avoid making an error) is to simply plug in the answer choices.
When plugging in the answer choices, start with B or C. These are usually "middle" values that can help guide your search if they don't work by cluing you in to whether you need a greater value (allowing you to rule out A without plugging it in) or a smaller value (allowing you to rule out D). The only exception to this is if the question is asking you to find the "least possible value" or "greatest possible value" – in those instances, start with A or D, respectively.
Since that condition doesn't apply to this problem, let's start by subbing in C, which is 4.
When K=4, the value under the radical becomes 2(4)^2 + 17, which equals 49. The square root of 49 is 7. If x also equals 7, then the equation becomes 7-7=0, which is a true statement. C must be the answer.
Method #2: Plugging in Your Own Numbers
When there are a lot of variables in both the question and answer choices, a good strategy is to plug in your own numbers for the variables so that you're working with real values instead of abstract ones.
Let's look at an example of plugging in.
Source: The College Board Official SAT Practice Test #2
This equation might be tricky to simplify, but it becomes a lot easier if you turn the variable into a number. Just pick a value for x and sub that value into the expression in the question and the answer choices and see which answer choice gives you an equivalent value.
Here are a few important qualifications to note with this method:
When picking your own values, avoid choosing 0 or 1, as these can result in trick answers. Any other value should work, though, so pick numbers that are easy to work with, such as 2, 5, or 10.
For problems involving percentages, the number 100 usually works best.
If there's more than one variable in the question, choose different values for the different variables.
Check all of the answer choices! Unlike back-solving, this strategy may result in more than one answer that seems to work. If this happens, rule out all of the answer choices that didn't initially work out, then choose a different value for the variable and plug that back into the remaining choices. Keep doing this until you're left with only one answer.
For the above problem, let's say that x=2. When we plug 2 in for x in the original equation, we end up with 8/5.
Choice A simplifies to 1, which does not equal 8/5. Rule out A.
Choice B simplifies to 13/3, which does not equal 8/5. Rule out B.
When we plug in 2 for x in choice C, we get 23/5, which does not equal 8/5. Rule out C.
By process of elimination, the answer must be D, and when we plug in 2 for x in choice D, sure enough, we get 8/5. Our answer is D.
Method #3: Structure in Expressions
When you notice a certain expression repeating within an equation, a great way to simplify the problem is to substitute a single variable for the repeating expression. This will make it much easier to solve.
Let's apply this to the example below.
Source: The College Board Official SAT Practice Test #1
This problem looks super complicated, but it becomes much more straightforward if you simplify the expressions by subbing in x for r/1200, which we can see pops up repeatedly throughout the problem.
The original equation is now [(x)(1 + x)^N]/ [1 + x)^N] – 1, all multiplied by P. In order to isolate for P, just multiply m by the reciprocal, which gives us choice B, our correct answer.
SAT Math No-Calculator Tips: Next Steps
More so than anything else, the secret to mastering the SAT Math No-Calculator section is practice.
While the majority of the section's material will be familiar to most high school students, the test oftentimes presents that material in challenging and unusual ways. In many cases, critical thinking is just as essential as content knowledge when it comes to arriving at the correct answer.
The best way to be prepared is to practice as much as possible in order to familiarize yourself with different question types, as well as to figure out which strategies work best for which questions.
How can you make sure that you're getting the best practice possible, now that you're armed with these SAT Math No-Calculator tips and strategies?

You're probably used to reading tables in math class. Yet you might be less prepared to see these charts and graphs incorporated into Evidence-Based Reading and Writing & Language passages on the SAT.
While such graphics might appear overwhelming at first, they shouldn't be any cause for alarm.
In fact, these tend to be some of the most straightforward questions on the test!
The SAT does not expect you to bring any expert knowledge with you. Any time that you encounter a graph or chart, you can rest assured that the answer is right in front of you if you can interpret the data correctly.
SAT Charts and Graphs Questions: General Approach
Most students aren't surprised to see these questions appear on the SAT's two math sections. But what are charts and graphs doing on two verbal sections?
The truth is that the SAT is deeply interested in students' abilities to analyze both quantitative and verbal information, and often at the same time. This is why the Math sections have a lot of word problems, and it's why figures appear on Evidence-Based Reading and Writing & Language.
This is a skill that most students will need in college, regardless of what major they pursue.
Of course, that doesn't mean these questions won't seem intimidating to a lot of students the first time around! Yet following this general approach for SAT Charts and Graphs questions can help you take advantage of these additional points.
1) Take Them Out of Order
Charts and Graphs questions can appear at any time on the SAT, but that doesn't mean you have to take them in order. Build these questions into your personal order of difficulty.
What does that mean?
Well, if you excel at Math but find the Evidence-Based Reading section to be challenging, these may be great questions to prioritize on the two Verbal sections, especially the Charts and Graphs questions that don't require knowledge of the passage.
If you dread data analysis, save these questions for the end of a section.
2) Identify the Task
Charts and Graphs questions can feel tedious.
For this reason, always identify what the task is. Underline and annotate the question to make this even clearer. Pay attention to the differences between the answers, too, to further support your understanding of what you need to find.
When it comes to charts and graphs questions on Writing & Language or Evidence-Based reading, assess whether you can answer the question just by looking at the graph or if you'll also need to research the text.
3) Pay Attention to Titles, Axes, and Labels
This may sound obvious, but it's actually an important step with most any charts and graphs question. When analyzing the data, prioritize the title of the graph (similar to its main idea), what any x- and y- axes designate, and/or any keys or other labels.
Sometimes you can eliminate answer choices based on this type of primary analysis alone.
4) Identify Trends and Patterns
It's also important to take the time to assess the patterns and trends of a general graphic before diving into the associated question.
Feel free to annotate or make any markings as you do this. Doing so can help you move through those trap answer choices a lot more easily!
SAT Charts and Graphs: Writing and Language
On the SAT Writing and Language section, 1-2 passages will be accompanied by an informational graph or chart.
The passage will have an underlined statement, and students will have to determine whether or not that statement is supported by the chart.
Students can expect two general types of graph questions in this section:
Detail-based questions, which ask about a specific aspect of the graph
Big-picture questions, which ask students to identify a major trend
The most important thing to remember with either type of question is that the answer will be right in front of you!
These questions don't require any sort of outside knowledge, so just fact-check the answer choices against the information in the graph. Below are some tips to help minimize the possibility of error.
Reading the Graph
Before you jump to the answer choices, try to identify some key information upfront.
For example:
What's the general trend/shape of the graph?
As oneMost importantly, what is the title of the graph?
Identifying the title of a figure is essential in determining the scope of the chart. We cannot extrapolate information beyond the stated scope (i.e., the title!).
Let's look at an example to clarify:
Source: The College Board Official Practice Test 1
The title of this chart tells us that it represents recorded temperatures in Greenland from 1961-1990. That means any answer that we choose must be specific to Greenland during those years.
We cannot use this chart to predict anything about current temperatures, nor can we extend the bell-curve trend to temperatures in Europe generally.
This is important because most wrong answers will play on this concept. The incorrect answers will likely be too broad, or potentially too narrow.
Choices that might be true, but aren't explicitly supported by the graph
Information that is supported by the graph, but doesn't answer the question
Unfamiliar Graphics
As mentioned, the graphics on the Writing and Language section don't require any outside knowledge and will be pretty straightforward.
However, the College Board tries to make things trickier by occasionally throwing in an infographic that isn't in the traditional bar graph form.
Here's what that might look like:
Source: The College Board Official Practice Test 7
Because the format of these graphics may vary, there's no real way to study for them, but don't let that overwhelm you! Trust yourself to correctly read labels and titles, and remember the same strategies that you applied elsewhere.
For example, the above question might appear daunting at first. You've probably never seen a graph like this, but you can break it down logically.
The smallest circle is entirely contained within the middle circle, which is entirely contained within the biggest circle.
That is probably meant to suggest that within the framework of Professional Development, Professional Networks are the largest umbrella of Professional Development, followed by Coaching and Consultation, and then Foundation and Skill-Building Workshops, as stated by answer choice C.
SAT Charts and Graphs: Evidence-Based Reading
Much like the Writing and Language section, 1-2 of the 5 Evidence-Reading Passages will also contain graphs and/or charts.
Thankfully, many of the same strategies from the Writing and Language section can be applied, and the graphics in the Reading section tend to be even more straightforward.
In fact, most of the graphic questions on the SAT Reading section can be answered on the basis of the graphic alone without looking at the text at all!
Even questions that seem to be about both the text and the graphic really only require an understanding of the graph to be answered.
Let's look at an example:
Source: The College Board Official Practice Test 5
This is a very common question type. Mention of the passage might send test-takers back to the text, frantically skimming for details, but in questions such as these, all of the statements are supported by the passage.
Your only job is to determine which statement is also supported by the graph.
Just like in the Writing and Language section, orient yourself for one of these questions by asking the following questions ahead of time:
What's the general trend/shape of the graph?
As oneWhat's the title of the graph?
Are there multiple lines? Where do they meet? Are there any points where values don't change?
Common Errors
Incorrect answer choices in the Reading section might contain similar errors to those in the Writing and Language section.
Specifically, be on the lookout for answers that
Offer conclusions that are too broad or too narrow to be considered reasonable based on the specific study presented in the graph
Are out of the question's scope
Contain extreme language (words like every, all, must, never, etc.)
Might be true, but aren't explicitly supported by the graph
Correctly interpret the information in the graph, but do not answer the question at hand
Contain units that don't exactly match the units on the graph
SAT Charts & Graphs: Math
The SAT Math sections, of course, are where students can expect to see the most graphs and charts on the SAT.
Fortunately, these questions usually don't require too much calculation beyond simple arithmetic, so they should actually be some of the easiest on the test, as long as students understand what they're looking at.
Here are the types of charts and graphs you can expect to find on SAT Math:
Scatterplots (discussed below)
Generic bar graphs and histograms
Cartesian graphs
Line graphs
Simple tables
In a lot of ways, the same basic strategies that we discussed for reading graphs and charts in the Verbal sections still apply to these questions, regardless of the type of figure.
When analyzing a graph on SAT Math (No-Calculator or Calculator), it is particularly important to:
Identify the units on the axes
Note the title of the graph
Identify the general trend/shape of the graph
Note any outliers
Observe how data is clustered
Identify slope, if the graph contains a linear equation
Clearly identify what the question is asking!
It's worth noting that students shouldn't expect to see an even distribution of graphs and charts throughout the SAT Math sections.
The Calculator Section (Section 4) tends to be much heavier on Data Analysis & Problem Solving questions, and so you can expect to see most graphics in the latter portion of the test.
Scatterplots
One particular type of chart worth mentioning is the scatterplot. Scatterplots are an important tool in statistics! The point of statistics is to be able to predict values based on a limited amount of data, and scatterplots help us to do just that.
The scatterplot appears the most frequently of all charts and graphs on SAT Math.
In a scatterplot, each individual point on the graph represents a real point of data.
A line of best fit is then drawn through those points to represent the approximate trend of those values. We can use this line to predict values outside of a tested range of data.
For the SATWe cannot determine definitive values off of the line of best fit, but we can make estimates
The slope of the line of best fit represents the predicted increase (or decrease) in y for each x
The y-intercept is the value of y when the x-value is 0
Let's look at an example of a question involving a scatterplot:
Source: The College Board Official Practice Test 1
In the above graphic, each individual point represents a recorded heart rate at a given swim time, and the line of best fit provides the predicted heart rate for the set of times.
The question asks us to determine the difference between the predicted heart rate at 34 minutes and the actual heart rateNext Steps
Remember: SAT Charts and Graphs questions appear on four sections of the test. The key to navigating these successfully is to be strategic in how you approach your data and question analysis.
Make sure to do a little work up front to minimize the possibility of falling for a trap answer. Identify the overall trend of a figure, for example, and what all of the units and labels represent.
The most important thing is not to let yourself become overwhelmed by all of the information in front of you. In fact, that information should be a blessing!
The answer is right under your nose--you don't need to bring any sort of advanced knowledge with you, nor do you need to perform any sort of convoluted calculations. As long as you feel confident in your skills of interpretation, the rest should be a piece of cake.

NOTE: The SAT "Writing & Language Test" no longer exists as of 2024. It has now been replaced by the SAT Reading & Writing Section, which is radically different. For an updated guide to the new digital SAT, follow the link here.
Your performance on this section is calculated on a scale of 200 and 400, and your Writing and Language score contributes to 50% of your SAT verbal score.
This section has fewer questions than Evidence-Based Reading, which has 52 questions. This means that each question on Writing & Language is technically worth more individually.
In this introductory post to SAT Writing and Language, we discuss the following:
SAT Writing & Language: Introduction
SAT Writing and Language consists of four passages. These cover the following topics:
Science
Humanities
History
Social science
Career fields
Each passage is accompanied by 11 questions.
Unlike the Reading section, Writing & Language questions occur throughout the passage instead of at the end.
Here's what that looks like:
Source: College Board SAT Practice Test 1
No passage on SAT Writing & Language is necessarily "harder" than another. In fact, each passage is likely to contain a healthy mix of grammar, punctuation, and expression of ideas questions.
That being said, a punctuation question may be easier for most students than an expression of ideas question! But we'll get to that in a minute.
Question Categories
The College Board breaks the Writing & Language section down into two sub-scores:
Standard English Conventions and
Expression of Ideas
These sub-scores reflect the two general question categories in this section.
Standard English Conventions questions test mastery of the fundamental rules of grammar/punctuation.
Expression of Ideas questions measure proficiency in writing strategy, such as rhetoric, diction, and the organization of ideas.
This might sound like a lot, but it becomes a lot easier once you know what kind of questions to expect!
By definition, the SAT is standardized, which means that every test repeats the same set of concepts. What's more, SAT Writing & Language only tests a finite amount of concepts, grammatical and rhetorical.
This means that you don't have to go out and memorize pages and pages of grammar rules. Nor do you have to be a rhetorical genius to get a 400 here.
The key to success on SAT Writing and Language? Knowing what it tests and getting absolutely comfortable with those concepts ahead of time!
SAT Writing & Language: What You Actually Need to Know
In order to master the SAT Writing & Language section, students need to be comfortable with the following concepts:

As you can see from this chart, Standard English Conventions (i.e., grammar) questions will test your knowledge of standard written English grammar, punctuation, and other rules.
At first glance, this question might appear difficult, but comparing the answer choices to one another can give us clues on how to crack it.
The primary difference between choices A-D is the type of punctuation used, which tells us that this question is probably testing our ability to join incomplete and complete ideas with the proper punctuation.
A comma (choice B) can only be used to separate an incomplete thought (or dependent clause)with a complete thought (or independent clause). A comma plus a coordinating conjunction (choice C) can be used just like a period to separate two independent clauses. A colon (choice D) is used to introduce a list or explanation, and everything that comes before the colon must be a complete thought.
In context, the punctuation is separating an independent and dependent clause, and so the answer must be B.
Expression of Ideas questions will ask you to improve the effectiveness of communication in a piece of writing.
Notice how the question asks students to accomplish a very specific purpose: it asks for the answer that describes a self-reinforcing cycle. Many students solve these questions by subbing the answer choices back into the passage, but doing so can actually result in error.
It's vital to read the context first, which says that "as the ice melts, the land and water under the ice become exposed, and since land and water are darker than snow, the surface absorbs even more heat, which _____."
The context is discussing the melting of ice, as reinforced by heat absorption. Logically, heat absorption is only likely to increase ice's capacity to melt. Only D suits this assessment, and reiterates the fact that this is a cumulative melting process (i.e., a self-reinforcing cycle).
As you can see from these examples, most Expression of Ideas questions will have a question in front of them, whereas the Standard English Convention questions will not.
In general, this often means that Expression of Ideas questions take more time to complete than Standard English Conventions questions. They often require a firm understanding of context, rather than rote grammar rules.
In some cases, they may even feel more challenging! But they are still worth the same amount of points on Test Day.
Question Breakdown
As discussed earlier, students can expect to work through 20-22 English Convention questions and 20-22 Expression of Ideas questions.
Here's a general breakdown:
Question Type
Number of Questions
Punctuation
6-12 questions
Writing Strategy
20-26 questions
Verbs
3-8 questions
Misc. Grammar Topics
0-5 questions
Charts and Graphs
1-4 questions
As you can see, the Writing and Language section is slightly more interested in Writing Strategy than it is in straight-up grammar!
Some students notice those "Charts and Graphs" questions here and panic a bit. Isn't this the grammar section after all?
Charts and Graphs questions actually appear on all four sections of the SAT (including Evidence-Based Reading).
Don't be alarmed by these. They do involve a bit of data analysis, but mostly, they test a student's ability to synthesize quantitative and verbal information.
Here's a sample question:
Source: College Board SAT Practice Test 1
How to solve:
While this question might look technical, it actually only involves a little bit of data analysis and interpretation of context.
The context specifies that "average daily low temperatures can drop _______." The graph reveals that the average daily low temperatures recorded at Nuuk weather station in Greenland sank as low as 12 degrees F in March.
Thus, our answer is B.
SAT Writing & Language: General Tips
What strategies do you need to succeed on SAT Writing and Language? Here are some great general tips.
1) Read the full text.
Unlike the SAT Reading section, students do not need to have an in-depth understanding of the passages in order to be successful on the Writing & Language section.
That being said, there will usually be 1-2 questions per passage that require students to tie a detail, title, or transition to the main idea of the passage as a whole.
For this reason, it's a good idea to give the passage a quick skim before jumping to the questions. Failing to do so might lead students to miss out on the big picture. After skimming the passage, students should dive into the questions.
2) Identify which concept the question is actually testing.
Compare the answer choices to one another for clues – how do they differ? Do some answer choices include a plural subject, while others make the subject possessive?
If so, this is probably a question focusing on apostrophes. Once students have identified the guiding principle, it becomes much easier to identify the error and correct it.
3) Prove answer choices wrong.
Remember that for every Standard English Convention question, there will only be one answer that is grammatically correct. In addition to finding the right answer, it's important to check every other answer and identify why that answer choice is grammatically incorrect.
If students ever feel that there are two or more grammatically correct answers, they need to look closer because they are probably missing something. The SAT loves to include "nearly correct" choices that appear solid at first glance, which is why it's important to check every answer carefully.
Students should be able to definitively rule out all but one choice.
The Expression of Idea questions can be a little trickier because more than one answer may be grammatically correct, but only one will communicate the author's intention most clearly.
4) Shorter is often better.
In general, if more than one answer is grammatically correct, the shortest answer will be the right one. The SAT loves to test on wordiness and how to avoid it – in general, shorter is always better.
By extension, if there's ever an answer choice that says "DELETE the underlined portion," students should check it first because it's usually correct.
Remember that process of elimination is your best friend. If you're ever stuck on the rhetoric questions, compare the answer choices to one another to see how they differ. If every piece of information included in an answer choice isn't absolutely necessary, then you're probably better off cutting it out.
5) Plug it in.
Finally, before students choose an answer, they should plug it back into the passage to make sure it fits. An answer that makes perfect sense on its own might create an error in the context of the passage.
A Word About "No Change"
As you've probably noticed, almost every question includes an answer choice that reads "No Change."
Students are oftentimes wary of choosing this option, but in reality, it should be treated like every other answer choice.
The layout of the Writing and Language section necessitates a "No Change" option so that the passages can be read in their entirety without gaping holes. Yet the underlined information is no more or less likely to be correct than any other answer choice.
When you're selecting your answer, read the full underlined portion included in the text and treat it just like any other answer choice! How does it differ from the other answers? What rule is the question testing on, and how does the original phrase match up to that rule?
Remembering to check the original text is especially important for the rhetoric questions: what was originally in the passage may very well have been the shortest answer, and so don't disregard it when you're trying to play the "shorter is always better" card!
Next Steps
More so than anything else, the secret to mastering the SAT Writing & Language section is practice.
Many students rely on their ears to solve problems, but the majority of the questions are testing hard-and-fast rules that can be studied and mastered.
None of these concepts are particularly difficult, but they require some time and attention to get down.
How can you make sure that you're getting the best practice possible?
We strongly recommend signing up for one of our state-of-the-art SAT programs. Working with professionals who utilize real College Board materials is the surest way to guarantee excellent results as you study for the SAT.

If two triangles have their sides proportional, the triangles will be equiangular and will have those angles equal which the corresponding sides subtend. Let ABC, DEF be two triangles having their sides proportional, so that, as AB is to BC, so is DE to EF, as BC is to CA, so is EF to FD, and further, as BA is to AC, so is ED to DF; I say that the triangle ABC is equiangular with the triangle DEF, and they will have those angles equal which the corresponding sides subtend, namely the angle ABC to the angle DEF, the angle BCA to the angle EFD, and further the angle BAC to the angle EDF. For on the straight line EF, and at the points E, F on it, let there be constructed the angle FEG equal to the angle ABC, and the angle EFG equal to the angle ACB; [I. 23] therefore the remaining angle at A is equal to the remaining angle at G. [I. 32] Therefore the triangle ABC is equiangular with the triangle GEF. Therefore in the triangles ABC, GEF the sides about the equal angles are proportional, and those are corresponding sides which subtend the equal angles; [VI. 4] therefore, as AB is to BC, so is GE to EF. But, as AB is to BC, so by hypothesis is DE to EF; therefore, as DE is to EF, so is GE to EF. [V. 11] Therefore each of the straight lines DE, GE has the same ratio to EF; therefore DE is equal to GE. [V. 9] For the same reason DF is also equal to GF. Since then DE is equal to EG, and EF is common, the two sides DE, EF are equal to the two sides GE, EF; and the base DF is equal to the base FG; therefore the angle DEF is equal to the angle GEF, [I. 8] and the triangle DEF is equal to the triangle GEF, and the remaining angles are equal to the remaining angles, namely those which the equal sides subtend. [I. 4] Therefore the angle DFE is also equal to the angle GFE, and the angle EDF to the angle EGF. And, since the angle FED is equal to the angle GEF, while the angle GEF is equal to the angle ABC, therefore the angle ABC is also equal to the angle DEF. For the same reason the angle ACB is also equal to the angle DFE, and further, the angle at A to the angle at D; therefore the triangle ABC is equiangular with the triangle DEF.

At first glance, it seems easy. But when you try to find the angle between vector C and plane consisting A and B, then it seems complicated. So is there any way to calculate it easily?
Related to Find Angle Between Vectors C & D Using Alpha, Beta & Theta
What is the formula for finding the angle between two vectors?
The formula for finding the angle between two vectors C and D is: cos(theta) = (C • D) / (|C| * |D|), where theta is the angle between the two vectors and C • D represents the dot product of the vectors.
What are the values of alpha, beta, and theta used for in this calculation?
Alpha and beta represent the angle between vector C and the x-axis, and between vector D and the x-axis, respectively. Theta represents the angle between vectors C and D.
How do I find the dot product of two vectors?
The dot product of two vectors is found by multiplying each corresponding component of the vectors and then adding the products together. For example, if vector C is (c1, c2, c3) and vector D is (d1, d2, d3), the dot product would be: C • D = (c1 * d1) + (c2 * d2) + (c3 * d3).
Can the angle between two vectors be negative?
No, the angle between two vectors is always positive. If the dot product of the two vectors is negative, the angle between them will be greater than 90 degrees.
How do I use this formula to find the angle between vectors in a 3-dimensional space?
In a 3-dimensional space, the formula remains the same, but the dot product will involve three components instead of two. Additionally, the values of alpha, beta, and theta will represent angles in three dimensions instead of just two.

Lesson 5.2 Reflecting Points on the Coordinate Plane
Five points are plotted on the coordinate plane. Open Applet
a. Using the Pen tool or the Text tool, label each with its coordinates.
b. Using the x-axis as the line of reflection, plot the image of each point.
c. Label the image of each point using a letter. For example, the image of point should be labeled A'.
d. Label each with its coordinates.
If the point (13,10) were reflected using the x-axis as the line of reflection, what would be coordinates of the image? What about (13,-20)? (13,570)? Explain how you know.
The point R has coordinates (3,2).
a. Without graphing, predict the coordinates of the image of point R if point R were reflected using the y-axis as the line of reflection.
b. Check your answer by finding the image of R on the graph.
c. Label the image of point R as R'.
d. What are the coordinates of R'?
Suppose you reflect a point using the -axis as line of reflection. How would you describe its image?
Lesson 5.3 Transformations of a Segment
The applet has instructions for the first 3 questions built into it. Move the slider marked "question" when you are ready to answer the next one. Pause before using the applet to show the transformation described in each question to predict where the new coordinates will be.
Apply each of the following transformations to segment AB. Use the Pen tool to record the coordinates.
Rotate segment AB 90 degrees counterclockwise around center B by moving the slider marked 0 degrees. The image of A is named C. What are the coordinates of C?
Rotate segment AB 90 degrees counterclockwise around center A by moving the slider marked 0 degrees. The image of B is named D. What are the coordinates of D?
Rotate segment AB 90 degrees clockwise around (0,0) by moving the slider marked 0 degrees. The image of A is named E and the image of B is named F. What are the coordinates of B and F?
Compare the two 90-degree counterclockwise rotations of segment AB. What is the same about the images of these rotations? What is different? Open Applet
Are you ready for more?
Suppose EF and GH are line segments of the same length. Describe a sequence of transformations that moves EF to GH.
Lesson 5 Practice Problems
a. Here are some points.
What are the coordinates of A, B, and C after a translation to the right by 4 units and up 1 unit? Plot these points on the grid, and label them A', B' and C'.
b. Here are some points.
What are the coordinates of D, E, and F after a reflection over the y-axis? Plot these points on the grid, and label them D', E' and F'.
c. Here are some points.
What are the coordinates of G, H, and I after a rotation about (0,0) by 90 degrees clockwise? Plot these points on the grid, and label them G', H' and I'.
Describe a sequence of transformations that takes trapezoid A to trapezoid B.

Geometric Transformations
These resources assume a basic familiarity with the coordinate plane. To review the coordinate plane and related terminology, watch the videos in section 3.4 of Unit 3. Transformation is another term commonly used, but it has a specific meaning in geometry. This lecture series will help you identify different kinds of transformations.
